A federal appeals court just dealt a massive blow to President Trump’s America First trade agenda. On Friday, these activist judges ruled that most of Trump’s tariffs are somehow illegal. This is a direct attack on our nation’s ability to protect American workers and businesses from unfair foreign competition.
The court’s 7-4 decision shows how the deep state continues to fight Trump at every turn. These tariffs were designed to stop China from dumping cheap goods into our markets and destroying American jobs. The judges claim Trump didn’t have the authority to impose these trade protections under emergency powers.
Trump fired back immediately, warning that this ruling would literally destroy America if it stands. He’s absolutely right because these tariffs brought billions of dollars into our treasury while forcing other countries to respect us again. Without them, we go back to being the world’s punching bag on trade.
The timing of this decision is suspicious, coming right before Labor Day weekend when fewer Americans would be paying attention. These liberal judges know their ruling helps China and hurts American workers. They chose to side with foreign competitors over our own people.
Trump’s tariffs targeted countries that flood our borders with deadly fentanyl while stealing our jobs through unfair trade practices. The tariffs hit Canada, Mexico, and China where it hurts for their role in the drug crisis killing Americans. Now these courts want to tie Trump’s hands while our enemies laugh at us.
The President promised to take this fight straight to the Supreme Court, and every patriotic American should support him. We cannot let unelected judges destroy the trade deals that put America first. These tariffs brought other nations to the negotiating table and secured better deals for American workers.
Liberal politicians like California’s Gavin Newsom are celebrating this decision because they hate anything that makes America stronger. Newsom called Trump a loser, but the real losers are American families who will pay higher prices when foreign countries go back to ripping us off. The governor of the most failed state in America has no room to talk about economic success.
Trump built the strongest economy in decades, and these tariffs were a key part of protecting American prosperity. The court gave him until October to appeal, and every freedom-loving American should pray the Supreme Court overturns this terrible decision. Our economic sovereignty depends on it.
