Trump: Court Ruling Against Tariffs Could Trigger Great Depression

President Donald Trump warned that a court ruling against his administration's tariff policies could trigger economic collapse similar to the Great Depression of 1929.

In a post on Truth social, Trump credited tariffs with fueling record highs in the stock market and bringing in hundreds of billions in revenue to the U.S. Treasury.

He cautioned that if a "Radical Left Court" were to strike down these policies, it would dismantle the wealth and global influence the United States has built under his leadership. Such a ruling, he claimed, would be a "judicial tragedy" from which America could never recover.

Trump defended his record, citing unprecedented legal and political battles, and framed the current economic boom as one that must not be undone by the courts.

He concluded with a call for national unity and strength, emphasizing that the country deserves "success and greatness, not turmoil, failure, and disgrace."

But instead of fixating on his tone, measure his results. Trade victories are stacking up, each one strategically designed to favor America.
