In a 6-3 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that President Trump exceeded his authority by using emergency powers for tariffs on most trading partners last year. Trump quickly signed an executive order for a new 10% tariff on all global imports, using a different legal path and framing it as putting America first. The White House's meme post drew cheers from supporters who reposted variations, while critics mocked its tone and warned of higher consumer prices from costs passed on to buyers. Markets rallied on the court news and shrugged off the new tariffs as expected.

Key Takeaway

Hours after the Supreme Court struck down broad tariffs, the White House shared a meme-style image of President Trump with bold red text: 'Keep Calm and Tariff On.' It captured the bold pushback in real time.
