It’s Taco (Trump Always Chickens Out) Thursday, and I told you motherfuckers this was coming.
Trump’s so-called “Liberation Day” tariffs—his 10% blanket tax on everything under the sun—just got annihilated in court. A federal bench of three judges, including a Reagan appointee, a Biden appointee, and yes, even one of Trump’s own stooges, ruled that these tariffs were unconstitutional, illegal, and an outright abuse of presidential power under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.
Let me translate that for the folks in the back:
Donald Trump tried to play dictator with your wallet, and the court just slapped the scepter out of his tiny orange hand.
Why It Matters
These weren’t tariffs. These were taxes on the American people disguised as tough talk toward China and the EU. He wasn’t punishing foreign nations—he was punishing us while pretending it was “America First.”
Here’s the thing: Congress—not the president—has the power to impose tariffs. That’s in Article I of the Constitution. You know, the part Trump and his MAGA cult never bother to read while they’re crying about “freedom.”
Trump’s excuse? Fentanyl. He declared a “national emergency” and then used it as a fake excuse to drop a 145% tariff bomb on Chinese imports. The court didn’t buy it. Why? Because they read the Constitution—something the Trump White House clearly skipped.

What Stays and What’s Dead
Let’s be clear: a few of Trump’s older tariffs survive—for now.
The 25% steel and aluminum tariffs under Section 232 (national security rationale) are still in place.
So is the auto parts tariff.
And the weird-ass 25% tax on goods from countries that buy oil from Venezuela.
Everything else?
🚫 The 10% universal tariff — GONE
🚫 The EU tariffs — GONE
🚫 The China bomb — GONE
🚫 The entire Liberation Day economic cosplay — DEAD
Where We Go From Here
This isn't just a legal victory. It's a line in the sand.
The appeal is coming, but unless the higher courts lose their minds and reinstate Trump’s fantasy dictatorship, the decision stands.
So what now?
Every business that paid these unlawful tariffs should sue for their money back. Every. Last. Dollar.
The American people should understand we were robbed.
And Congress better remember that silence in the face of executive overreach is not neutral—it's complicity.
The Deeper Fight
Trump’s not done. Neither are his billionaire buddies. The Senate is still cooking up their “One Big Beautiful Bill”—a reconciliation package that’s going to give tax cuts to the ultra-rich and leave working Americans buried under the weight of inflation, higher interest rates, and corporate price-gouging.
Don't expect Walmart to drop prices just because the tariffs are dead. They never give you the savings—they just pocket the profit.
We’re living in a monopoly state, folks. The only check on that power is us—you and me. Article I starts with We the People for a reason.
Trump chickened out. The court saw through his act. And now it’s our turn to step up.

Sample Script:
Hi, my name is [YOUR NAME], and I’m calling to demand my representative take a public stand against Trump’s illegal tariffs and block any future attempts to pass taxes without Congressional authority. The Court of International Trade just ruled his actions unconstitutional. That’s tyranny. Do your job—defend the Constitution.
Final Word
This isn’t just about trade. It’s about tyranny.
It’s about a wannabe king who thought the Constitution didn’t apply to him.
And it’s about reminding every one of these corrupt bastards:
We’re watching. We’re organized. And we’re sharpening our pitchforks.
Stay loud. Stay proud.
And if you’re not raising hell… you’re not paying attention.
