Trump Releases Early Morning Statement to Influence High-Stakes Supreme Court Case

President Donald Trump started his Saturday with an early morning social media post promoting a controversial policy widely criticized for increasing costs, while also weighing in on an ongoing Supreme Court case. Over the Thanksgiving weekend, Trump remained highly active online, including launching sharp attacks on prominent political opponents.

At 7:22 AM, Trump shared a lengthy message praising his tariff strategy, emphasizing its perceived benefits and addressing the Supreme Court:

Tariffs have strengthened our nation economically, militarily, and diplomatically. For decades, other countries have used tariffs against us, but under my leadership, we now hold all the leverage. Strategic tariffs have prevented conflicts, enhanced international relationships, and stopped unfair treatment of the United States. The Stock Market and retirement accounts have reached record highs, while inflation, prices, and taxes have declined. Education is returning to state control, and our military and southern border are stronger than ever. The USA commands respect like never before, all thanks to decisive leadership and tariffs. Forces opposed to America are challenging us at the Supreme Court. May our nine Justices act wisely for the good of the country!

Earlier this month, the Supreme Court heard arguments in a case questioning Trumps authority to implement broad tariffs under emergency powers. The proceedings revealed significant skepticism, including from justices appointed during Trumps tenure. A decision in the case is expected before the year concludes.
