The Supreme Court hands Trump in out and he refuses to take it. And I've got three interviews,

Jared Moskowitz, Tommy Vitor, and Amy Klobuchar. I'm Brian Tyler Cohen, and you're listening to No Lie.

Donald Trump was unwittingly handed a gift when the Supreme Court ruled that his tariffs were unconstitutional.

They have been a drag on his presidency,

they poll in the toilet, and most importantly, they run counter to his principal promise from the

campaign, which is that he would bring prices down. Tariffs are a consumption tax. It's imposed on

imported goods, paid for by American companies, and passed on to American consumers. The popularity

of his tariff stands at 38%, not

great. But of course, Trump could never unilaterally bail on his signature economic policy,

because then it would feel like he's capitulating, unless he was handed the gift of a ruling by the

Supreme Court declaring those tariffs unconstitutional, and lo and behold,

that's what happened.

Trump had in his hand the perfect out, a way to bail on his disastrous tariff policy,

stem the bleeding on the surging costs of consumer goods, and start fixing his economic

policy ahead of the midterms, which are fast approaching.

So what did Trump do?

Uh, none of that. He vowed to reimpose the

terrorists first at 10% globally. Then he just nixed that idea and ramped up to 15% globally,

because I guess he stewed about it all night and woke up even angrier than when he went to bed.

And look, is it a surprise that Trump views every hill to be one worth dying on? No.

But here's where it hurts him.

First of all, the midterms are a referendum on the president.
