A federal appeals court just delivered a devastating blow to President Trump’s America First trade agenda. On Friday evening, activist judges ruled that most of Trump’s crucial tariffs are somehow illegal. This outrageous decision threatens to destroy the economic progress our nation has made under strong conservative leadership.
Trump imposed these smart tariffs for two key reasons that any patriot should support. First, he targeted countries like China, Canada, and Mexico because they refuse to stop deadly fentanyl from flooding into our communities. Second, he put fair tariffs on countries that have been ripping off American workers for decades through massive trade deficits.
The court’s timing reveals everything you need to know about their political motives. These liberal judges waited until Friday night before Labor Day weekend to drop this bomb on hardworking Americans. They know this decision will hurt our economy and wanted to bury the news when fewer people would notice.
President Trump immediately fired back at this judicial activism with the truth. He warned that this terrible ruling would literally destroy the United States of America if allowed to stand. Trump understands what these out-of-touch judges refuse to see about protecting American workers and businesses.
The court claimed Trump lacked authority under emergency powers to defend our nation’s economic security. But any real American knows that China’s trade war against us and the fentanyl crisis absolutely constitute national emergencies. These threats demand strong presidential action, not weak excuses from liberal judges.
This ruling puts American families at serious financial risk right when they need protection most. The tariffs were projected to cost households money, but that ignores how they protect American jobs and force other countries to play fair. Without these tariffs, foreign competitors will continue destroying our manufacturing base.
The good news is that President Trump promised to appeal this disaster straight to the Supreme Court. The court gave the government until October 14 to seek that review, and Trump will fight this all the way. Conservative justices understand the president’s constitutional duty to protect American workers.
This fight represents everything wrong with our broken judicial system today. Liberal judges think they know better than the president about protecting America’s economic interests. But real patriots know that Trump’s tariffs defend our nation against countries that want to see us fail.
