Joe Scarborough Slams SCOTUS for Allowing' Trump to Twist' Tariffs into Political Hammer'
"The remarks came after Trump announced a 10% increase in tariffs on goods imported from Canada, escalating trade tensions after becoming infuriated when Ontario aired an anti-tariff advertisement featuring former President Ronald Reagan. The U.S. already imposes a 35% levy on Canadian goods, though many are exempt under existing trade agreements, along with sector-specific tariffs of 50% on metals and 25% on automobiles. Speaking en route to Asia, the president said the additional 10% would apply over and above what they are paying now."
"The Supreme Court hasn't stepped in on Donald Trump sending Marines out to Los Angeles, they're not stepping in with Donald Trump saying Chicago is a dangerous city and all these other places are dangerous cities, we have to send the National Guard out for basically to make them safer cities' which is for law enforcement. It's not to protect courthouses or ICE you know, that may be the ultimate justification."
"After Morning Joe guest and New York Times columnist Mara Gay argued that the volatility caused by tariffs was hurting Americans the host added that it was hurting Americans opinion of the Supreme Court, which he noted was historically low. Unloading on a variety of Trump administration policies, from tariffs to the president's East Wing demolition, Scarborough took aim at what he framed as the Supreme Court's inaction."

Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough criticized the Supreme Court for not intervening in what he described as political uses of tariffs and other actions, warning that such volatility damages Americans' view of the Court.
