Former Republican lawmaker Adam Kinzinger issued a bleak warning Friday that, in the wake of the Supreme Court’s bombshell ruling on President Donald Trump’s tariffs, the president may very well ignite a regional war out of rage after having “clearly the worst day” of his second term.
On Friday, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 against the Trump administration regarding its authority to impose sweeping tariffs, and thus, essentially shuttered the president’s signature foreign trade policy. And, with Trump reportedly on the cusp of “pulling the trigger” on a “full-fledged war” with Iran, Kinzinger expressed fears that the court’s decision could send Trump over the edge.
“While this is not the worst day for the country – it’s a good day – in Donald Trump’s mind, it is the worst day for the country,” Kinzinger said in a video published Friday on his Substack. “This is a massive rebuke to Donald Trump, this is embarrassing to him… He’s going to be angry today. Maybe we go to war with Iran now because he’s angry.”
Trump has yet to directly respond to the Supreme Court’s decision, but in past months, has grown increasingly panicked that the court may rule against the legality of his tariffs. He’s previously warned that, should the court rule against his tariffs, the United States would suffer a $2 trillion “catastrophe,” and that the country “could be reduced to almost Third World status.”
However Trump does respond, Kinzinger theorized, would almost certainly be explosive.
“You’re going to see Donald Trump lose his mind even more,” Kinzinger said. “All in all, really good day, [but] this is a bad day for Donald Trump.”
Regarding Iran, peace talks have stalled between Tehran officials and the Trump administration, and a colossal U.S. military force has been mobilized in the region.Emergency Video: Donald Trumps Very Bad Day by Adam Kinzinger
