Trump called the decision “unfortunate” and informed the justices, to their faces, that it had utterly backfired, as his administration’s tariffs on steel, aluminum, and other goods would remain in place without congressional intervention.

“But the good news is that almost all countries and corporations want to keep the deal that they already made,” Trump said, “knowing that the legal power that I, as president, have to make a new deal could be far worse for them, and therefore they will continue to work along the same successful path that we had negotiated before the Supreme Court’s unfortunate involvement.”
Trump said the new tariffs “will be even stronger than before” and “congressional action will not be necessary.”
The tariffs, he explained, should “substantially replace the modern-day system of income tax.”
