Trump Warns “We’re Screwed” if Supreme Court Rejects Tariffs

President Donald Trump has issued a stark public warning, stating that it would be a “complete mess” and that the U.S. would be “SCREWED” if the Supreme Court strikes down his sweeping global trade tariffs.

In a social media post, he argued that unwinding the policy would trigger massive, years-long complications as businesses and countries claim refunds.

The imminent Supreme Court decision represents a pivotal legal test of both his controversial economic strategy and the scope of presidential authority.

The case, brought by a coalition of 12 states and small businesses, challenges the legal basis of the tariffs, with two lower courts having already ruled that Trump overstepped his power.

During November hearings, justices appeared skeptical of the administration’s use of national emergency laws to justify the tariffs, setting the stage for a ruling that could significantly reshape trade policy and executive power.
