The Great Tariff Whiplash of 2026 💸

Added: 2026-05-25

[00:00:00]So if you thought the Supreme Court was always going to have Trump's back, think again. The justices just completely annihilated his sweeping emergency tariffs, and the legal opinions read like a group text where everyone finally snapped. In a brutal 6-3 ruling, they didn't just say no, they basically called his legal argument a joke. The majority bluntly stated that the Constitution gives Congress alone the power to tax during peacetime.

[00:00:20]Conservative Justice Gorsuch, who as you remember was appointed by Creamsicle Cosby, even jumped in to write that the administration was trying to claim a transformative, unbounded power over the economy that simply doesn't exist. But instead of taking the hint, the administration went full panic mode.

[00:00:34]Literally, hours after getting roasted by SCOTUS, they pulled out a totally different, obscure 1974 law and tried to slap a fresh 10% global tariff plan right back onto everything anyway. The twist? The lower courts already stepped in and called that back up plan unlawful, too.

[00:00:48]Government lawyers are scrambling to appeal, but until the dust settles, those higher prices on your favorite imported goods aren't going anywhere.
