adminLiberal judges just delivered a devastating blow to President Trump’s America First trade agenda. A federal appeals court ruled 7-4 that most of Trump’s tariffs protecting American workers are somehow illegal. This is another example of activist judges trying to block Trump from putting America first.
The court struck down tariffs that Trump put in place to fight unfair trade practices from China and other countries. These tariffs were bringing billions of dollars back to America and forcing other nations to treat us with respect. Now unelected judges want to give that power back to foreign competitors who have been ripping us off for decades.
Trump fired back hard at this outrageous ruling. He said it would “literally destroy the United States of America” if it stands and promised to take the fight all the way to the Supreme Court. Trump knows these tariffs are essential for protecting American jobs and American sovereignty.
The tariffs were working exactly as designed. They were bringing manufacturing jobs back to America and forcing China to negotiate fair deals. American companies were finally getting a level playing field after years of being undercut by cheap foreign labor and government subsidies.
The timing of this ruling is suspicious and disgusting. These liberal judges waited until the Friday before Labor Day weekend to drop this bombshell. They clearly hoped Americans would be too busy enjoying the holiday to notice this attack on our economic independence.
This decision will hurt hardworking American families who depend on manufacturing jobs. It gives China and other bad actors a green light to continue their unfair trade practices. The court is basically telling foreign countries they can keep stealing American jobs and technology.
But Trump and his team have many tools left to fight back. As Calamos Investments CEO John Koudounis pointed out, the president has many levers to pull in this battle. Trump can use other legal authorities and continue negotiating from a position of strength.
Patriots across America must rally behind Trump as he appeals this terrible decision. The Supreme Court needs to overturn this ruling and restore Trump’s authority to defend American workers. We cannot let liberal judges hand our economic future over to China and other countries that hate us.
