President Donald Trump was dealt a huge blow by the Supreme Court on Friday as they eliminated his ability to impose tariffs under economic emergency powers — but he almost at once declared he will continue to charge global tariffs, using a number of alternative statutes. During his rant, he claimed under the ruling, he can't charge tariffs to foreign countries but can "destroy the country" by cutting off all trade to it instead.

Trump's bizarre diatribe, as well as his vow to keep all the same policies the Supreme Court eliminated in place by other means, provoked a stunned reaction from commenters on social media.

John Boyd, Jr., the head of the National Black Farmers Association, celebrated Friday on MS NOW following the Supreme Court's decision invalidating President Donald Trump's authority to use emergency powers to enact tariffs.

"So, John, this morning you were feeling pretty positive," said anchor Antonia Hylton. "But now that President Trump says he's going to keep pushing these tariffs through no matter what, how are you doing?"

President Donald Trump criticized liberal justices following the Supreme Court's 6-3 ruling against his tariff authority. In his first public comments on the decision during a White House press briefing, Trump called the ruling "deeply disappointing." He accused Democratic justices of automatically voting against his policies, stating they "will automatically vote 'no'" regardless of merit. Trump claimed these justices are "a disgrace to our nation" and opposed anything that makes "America strong, healthy and great again." He characterized their voting pattern as predictable and suggested their loyalty to a political agenda was unwavering. Trump asserted he had exercised restraint with his tariff approach, claiming he tried to be "very well-behaved" and "modest" in his requests to avoid influencing the court's decision, suggesting he understood how justices could be "easily swayed."

President Donald Trump attacked the Supreme Court's 6-3 ruling against his tariff authority, calling the decision "ridiculous." The court determined Trump acted outside his authority when imposing tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, or IEEPA, rendering a significant portion of his tariffs as unlawful. Trump expressed outrage at the decision during a White House address, claiming the court prevented him from charging tariffs while permitting embargoes and trade restrictions. He said, "I can do anything I want to do to them, but I can't charge any money," adding, "so I'm allowed to destroy the country, but I can't charge them a little fee." Trump has centered much of his presidency on tariff policy and previously warned the ruling could cause a $2 trillion "catastrophe" and reduce the United States to "almost Third World status."

The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 against the Trump administration Friday morning, determining that the president exceeded his authority in imposing reciprocal tariffs. The decision is expected to send shockwaves globally and has already infuriated Trump. The president had grown increasingly panicked ahead of the ruling, lashing out at justices and warning of a potential $2 trillion "catastrophe" if his tariffs were struck down. He also cautioned that the United States could be "reduced to almost Third World status" if the tariffs were overruled. Americans are bracing for potential economic impact, with concerns that the government may need to refund tariffs already collected. Social media users expressed alarm about additional taxes charged to consumers — with some demanding refunds.

Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) took a victory lap after the U.S. Supreme Court shot down President Donald Trump's tariffs.

The court ruled 6-3 that the 79-year-old president had unlawfully invoked the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose sweeping tariffs on global trade partners, and the 84-year-old McConnell signaled his agreement.

President Donald Trump took a shot at two justices he nominated to be on the Supreme Court — Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett — after they ruled that he had illegally imposed massive tariffs.

"Are you surprised in particular by their decision today?" Trump was asked during a White House press conference on Friday.

President Donald Trump imposed new across-the-board tariffs based on a dissent that accompanied a U.S. Supreme Court decision striking down his trade wars.

The 79-year-old president announced a 10-percent global tariff Friday in a news conference and simultaneously posted a Truth Social statement after the court ruled 6-3 that his previous duties unlawfully invoked the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, but he quoted from Justice Brett Kavanaugh's dissent to claim other statutes granted him the authority to impose tariffs.

President Donald Trump blasted members of the Supreme Court who ruled against his ability to impose tariffs in a 6-3 decision.

During a White House news conference on Friday, Trump said he was "ashamed of certain members of the court."

President Donald Trump erupted at the Supreme Court on Friday after it ruled against his authority to impose sweeping tariffs, vowing to circumvent its decision with “alternatives” and lambasting the justices for their "ridiculous opinion,” which he claimed permitted him to "destroy" countries.

The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 earlier on Friday that Trump acted outside his authority when imposing his sweeping tariffs, which his administration had justified under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). As such, a significant share of Trump’s tariffs have now been declared unlawful.

While President Donald Trump may very well be having his “worst day” in office after the Supreme Court ruled against his tariff policy on Friday, commentators cited a report that claimed the family of one top Trump official stands to profit handsomely from the court’s decision.

That top Trump official is Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, who for 30 years led the financial services firm Cantor Fitzgerald as its CEO, handing off control of the firm to his sons after joining the Trump administration last year. Lutnick has championed Trump’s tariffs in public, but Wired reported in July that the firm was "taking bets against them."
