Imagine starting your long weekend with major news: the US Court of Appeals just ruled President Trump's tariffs illegal. It’s a game-changer for businesses, investors, and shoppers alike. 💼
In response, Trump took to social media, slamming a "Highly Partisan Appeals Court" decision and arguing that dropping tariffs would make the US "financially weak." He’s betting on the Supreme Court to reverse the ruling. ⚖️
Here’s where it gets spicy: perception is reality. Many voters believe the nation's top court will side with Trump—especially since he appointed three of the nine justices and the Court leans conservative.
If SCOTUS backs the tariffs, critics will cry foul, accusing the Court of being in the president’s back pocket. If it strikes them down, Trump could invoke a 2024 ruling on presidential power limits and potentially refuse to comply, risking a constitutional showdown. 😲
No matter the outcome, this saga will shape US trade policy, the economy, and possibly the balance of power in Washington. Stay tuned! ✨
