Republican leaders are facing a new political dilemma – thanks to the Supreme Court’s devastating blow to President Donald Trump’s tariff agenda.

The ruling means any future votes on tariffs "will no longer be symbolic" as Congress will now be forced to decide whether to restore the president’s signature policy through legislation, according to Axios.

The U.S. Supreme Court may have just handed President Donald Trump a political gift – one that’s deeply humiliating, according to The Atlantic’s David Frum.

In a ruling that struck down Trump’s sweeping tariff regime, the MAGAfied high court delivered a decisive check on presidential power, making clear that the Constitution assigns taxing authority to Congress, not the White House. His tariffs, which began in April, were projected to raise as much as $2.3 trillion over 10 years, Frum wrote Friday.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent hinted that the American people would never see the return of $175 billion in tariffs collected by the Trump administration after the Supreme Court struck down the president's ability to impose them.

During an event at the Economic Club of Dallas on Friday, Ray Washburne noted that the administration had collected about $175 billion in tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) before the court ruled it unconstitutional.

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.

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 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.

Following a Supreme Court decision on tariffs, Andrew Kolvet, co-host of The Charlie Kirk show, admitted that consumers would get "screwed" because President Donald Trump had no intention of refunding the effective taxes paid due to his illegal policies.

During Friday's edition of The Charlie Kirk Show, Kolvet argued that consumers paid only 20% of the cost of Trump's tariffs, even though The Wall Street Journal found it was at least 90%.

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.
