What did Donald Trump predict about the economy in August 2025?
Donald Trump, President of the United States ·
Today a Highly Partisan Appeals Court incorrectly said that our Tariffs should be removed, but they know the United States of America will win in the end.
Supreme Court struck them down 6-3
Trump said the U.S. would win in the end after an appeals court ruled his tariffs illegal. In February 2026 the Supreme Court ruled 6 to 3 that the law does not authorize them.
On February 20, 2026, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that IEEPA does not authorize the president to impose tariffs, rejecting the legal basis for his reciprocal and drug-trafficking tariffs (Supreme Court, Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump, together with Trump v. V.O.S. Selections).
