America just got a blaring sign Trumpism is 'crumbling': analyst

Supreme Court handed Trump a 'humiliating' gift: analyst

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.

Internet stupefied by Trump's 'mental breakdown' as he threatens to 'destroy' the country

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.

'Seething!' CNN anchors struck by Trump's fury towards Supreme Court justices

CNN hosts were taken aback by how angry President Donald Trump was Friday after the Supreme Court struck down his tariffs.

Anchors Boris Sanchez and Brianna Keilar were talking to senior White House correspondent Kristen Holmes about Trump's reaction to the Supreme Court's ruling — and how noticeably upset he appeared to be during it.
