Trump Hit With Devastating Poll Numbers Amid Tariff Tantrum

The self-proclaimed “Tariff King” may have to rethink that title, given a series of blows the president was dealt this week.

As the president threw a fit over the Supreme Court’s ruling striking down his signature economic policy, everyday citizens expressed their pleasure with the decision. A new YouGov poll surveying 1,931 U.S. adults found that 60 percent approved of the ruling.

In a 6-3 ruling on Friday, the Supreme Court determined that Trump overstepped his authority by imposing sweeping global tariffs without congressional approval.

Conservative justice Neil Gorsuch, who was appointed by Trump, wrote a concurring opinion stating that legislation should not be determined by a single entity.
