"SHORT: Well, too few have split with him on this, honestly. I mean, this is a protectionist Democrat policy for many years the President has embraced. And the reality is he says America would turn to a third world country for 249 years of our republic. No president has used this authority. So I don't know if that means we've been a third world country for 249 years. And the reality is when you're saying that under IEPA, you have the authority to blanket tariffs anywhere."
"UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: What happens to your economic plan if the Supreme Court invalidates your tariffs? TRUMP: I think our country will be immeasurably hurt. I think our economy will go to hell. I think it's the most important subject discussed by the Supreme Court in 100 years."
"I mean, does that include that you're now saying that if Canada runs ads with Ronald Reagan, that's a national emergency?"
The Supreme Court will hear arguments over whether a president can impose broad tariffs by invoking emergency powers under the IEPA, challenging congressional authority over tariffs. Marc Short, a former Trump White House official, called the tariff strategy protectionist and historically Democratic, and labeled the asserted emergency authority unprecedented. Short mocked claims that the United States would become a "third world country" for 249 years and questioned how broadly emergency authority could be applied. Anchors noted Republican divisions, including Mike Pence, while President Trump warned that invalidating the tariffs would severely harm the economy.
