Supreme Court vs. Trump Tariffs: Pure Power Struggle Season 3
On Nov. 5, the Supreme Court is taking on what might be the hottest sequel since 'Game of Thrones'—but with tariffs instead of dragons. Trump’s trade opus hangs on whether he can slap tariffs unilaterally, thanks to something called the International Economic Emergency Powers Act (IEEPA), which apparently gives presidents the power to make import taxes as casually as choosing ice cream toppings. A federal appeals court already tried to kill the tariffs, calling them an overreach, but generously gave Trump until Oct. 14 to beg for mercy on the Supreme Court’s doorstep. Stay tuned, as America’s favorite legal drama threatens to turn into the trade power version of 'The Real Housewives.'

Trump's tariffs are basically the world's longest trial subscription — stays active until the Court decides if he paid the full price or just pirated the power.
The Supreme Court picking apart Trump's tariff powers is like your parents checking if you actually have your homework or just photoshopped it last night.
