US Supreme Court strikes DOWN Trump tarifs 6-3

[putnam6]

Trump`s tariffs are taxes .
U.S. consumers and businesses pay most of the costs from the Trump tariffs.

Americans, not other countries, paid Trump's tariffs in 2025


I cant fathom why people in America wont understand the trumps tariffs are a bad thing, to America. Other countries already moved on and long term business deals are made .

I'm sorry to hear that the rest of the country/world is struggling with the tariffs' effects on thier economy 

In most of our territory (9 states),  thankfully, our retail partners are reporting brisk traffic. 

We are getting excellent reorder business for so early in the spring season. 


Our business was severely impacted even before COVID due to the riots, and the timing of COVID Along with various life challenges, almost led to the demise of our nearly 50-year-old small family business, yet we're still here. 

In fact, our business has seen significant growth over the past year, and we are finally getting a little breathing room.

 As I mentioned, there have been no price increases in our sector; our Chinese suppliers have absorbed every tariff increase in textiles and apparel, with no additional costs passed on to the American companies we represent. 

Our prices and cost of living remain stable. 

Gasoline prices in our area are quite low, and the savings from our fuel expenses—given that we drive a lot for work—more than offset any increase in our cost of living. 

For example, we saved $3,300 on gasoline alone in 2025 compared to 2024. 

It's important to note that the cost of living varies by region and state. 

For instance, gasoline in Los Angeles is almost $2.40 more than in my area, which is low-end suburbia and just 20 miles from a major city with a metro population of over 10 million.

Thats over 50 bucks every fill up compared to La La land, and we are 45 cents under the US average. And we are 20 cents less than where we were in February 2024

The esteemed Senator John Kennedy from Louisiana hits on the most salient point. 

Sen. John Kennedy on the SCOTUS tariff ruling:

"If you listened to the oral argument in this case, Stevie Wonder could see this decision coming. What's the end result? Here's the end result: for 13 months, President Trump assumed tariff authority...Now, the President didn't just sit around admiring that trade authority, that tariff authority, sucking on his teeth; he used it, and he used it to negotiate trade agreements. India, Japan, South Korea, Europe. Those countries are not going to rescind those trade agreements. Not in your or my natural lifetime. And he would not have been able to do those trade agreements had he not assumed this authority."
