🚨BREAKING: In a sweeping new ruling, the U.S. Court of International Trade has just blocked President Trump's Liberation Day tariffs, saying that authority is with Congress.
With activist judges, what is even the point of having a president?!
FACT CHECK: While the Constitution grants Congress the power to impose tariffs, Congress delegated much of that power to the Executive Branch in the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, which allows for adjustments to tariff rates without needing Congressional action. Courts have given the executive branch broad authority to negotiate trade, that is until now.
You do realize this is exactly how our court system is supposed to work.
Maybe if the Republican Congress could accomplish a law the constant barrage of illegal Executive Orders wouldn't be needed.
The reality is that the Republicans don't want to be tied to the MAGA movement that they hope will die once Trump is gone. They know this Budget Bill is a disaster for them politically. Literally every economist, except those working in the White House say that it will add trillions to the debt.
