Regarding the war in Iran. Absolutely not. Congress voted that he must stop the war. But he hasn’t. In what is called a clock-reset, Trump started it again.
Regarding tariffs, absolutely not.
The US Supreme Court struck down President Donald Trump’s sweeping global tariffs in a landmark 6-3 decision on February 20, 2026. The Court ruled that Trump exceeded his authority by using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to unilaterally impose tariffs, stating that Congress must explicitly delegate such taxing powers. This ruling invalidated the “reciprocal” tariffs and those targeting Canada, Mexico, and China over fentanyl concerns, which had been expected to raise roughly $1.5 trillion over a decade. Now he’s putting up a middle finger to the Supreme Court.
Regardless of what the Supreme Court ruled, Trump has decided to continue tariffs that he says are against foreign countries, but actually it’s the American people that feel the effects of the tariff, not the foreign countries, as consumers will have to pay more to get the foreign goods. The foreign countries are not going to loose money on what they deliver to the United States.
So what did Trump do to despise the Supreme Court and the rest of the world?
-
A temporary 10% global tariff was imposed under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, effective until July 2026.
-
New tariffs ranging from 10% to 12.5% were implemented in July 2026 against 60 trade partners under Section 301, citing forced labor concerns.
While the specific IEEPA tariffs were struck down, other duties imposed under different statutes, such as those on steel and aluminum, remain in place. Legal challenges against the new Section 301 tariffs have already begun, with critics arguing the forced labor justification serves as legal cover for the same trade agenda rejected by the Court.
Trump argues that the United States has made a ton of money on his tariffs. What he doesn’t tell you is that the American consumer must pay much more for the goods they were purchasing before he implemented them. So inflation is even getting worse.
Adding fuel to the fire you can say, Donald Trump started a war in Iran that he cannot end, at the cost of the American taxpayer. He was again told to stop his attacks, as the House voted that he must end the war. But what does he do? After a resolution signed by Iran and the United States, Trump tears up that document and re-attacks Iran once the time-clock was reset so that he could start his attacks once again.
So here are some of the results of Trump’s actions…
The price of gasoline has gone up, the stock markets continue to crash, Republican approval rating keeps dipping and a whooping is coming in the mid-terms. It’s like Trump knows it and doesn’t care. He’s taking his last laugh while he can. In the mean time, he’s made billions of dollars as president, as no one ever before him ever has president.
Then in a last ditch effort to escape all accountability for the damages he has done as president, including committing war crimes, he has his want-t0-be Attorney General Tod Blanche, come up with a document signed by him as an Acting Attorney General that basically states that Trump cannot be investigated, audited, or sued by the United States government in the future, by any government agency, like the Justice Department or IRS. Now why does he want to do that? Maybe because he realizes he can’t pardon himself.
Trump may escape a tribunal at the Hague for his war crimes, but presently the document signed by Acting Attorned General Todd Blanche means no more audits of Trump and his companies. Trump would love that ! No more accountability for Trump. It means that the people of the United States forfeit their rights to reclaim money he stole from us, the taxpayers.
Also as stated in a prior post on this website…
It means that we no longer have the right to sue him for any damages or to pursue really any legal recourse whatsoever against Trump.
It means that it binds the United States forever, meaning it applies even after Trump and Blanche leave office.
And check this out. It’s not limited to just Donald J. Trump.
It signs away all of our claims against his companies, his family members, and his associates.
Has he done any thing else to hurt Americans?
Of course. Trump wouldn’t be Trump unless he screws something up. Trump’s administration has continued to undercut the U.S. asylum program by implementing rules that allow asylum officers to send hundreds of thousands more applications directly to immigration courts, resulting in approval rates dropping to their lowest level in two decades.
President Trump’s recent policies have hurt Americans primarily through economic strain, reduced access to essential services, and heightened public health and environmental risks. His administration’s tariffs and trade wars have driven up prices for everyday goods, while cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, and other safety-net programs have left millions with less health coverage and food assistance.
Economic uncertainty and job losses have surged due to erratic immigration enforcement, reduced H-1B visas, and mass deportations that disrupt key industries like agriculture, construction, and hospitality.
Meanwhile, federal workforce reductions—including over 220,000 job cuts since early 2025—have degraded services at the SSA, IRS, and VA, causing longer wait times and compromised data security.
Public health and environmental protections have also been weakened, contributing to disease outbreaks (including Cyclosporiasis and rising measles cases) and increased vulnerability to climate disasters. Rolling back clean air/water rules, defunding climate science, and promoting fossil fuels have further endangered communities.
It’s always disputed whether Trumps actions are legal, and I guess that’s not the point here after publishing this article, even though Trump goes against his own Supreme Court and his own Republican Congress at times. If he thinks he can get away with something, he usually tries it. It’s just fact that Trump is bent in harming this country at our cost and at his own financial benefit.
But where does the far right wing of Trump’s base stand on this? Out of touch with reality, I can quote one my friends, Scott K. stated the following in a recent text message…
“This country’s soul and liberty is based on the belief in God. Sadly now that Biden/Obama let millions of illegals in this country. I thank God every day that we now have a strong president to help clean this mess up”.
There he goes again. It’s all about Obama and Biden, even though Trump has been the president for the last two years, and he hasn’t kept most of his promises.
The only way to rid the mess created by Trump is to get him out of office, preferably sooner than later! Without question, another act of impeachment will come from the House when Democrats obtain majority once again, and if Democrats gain a majority in the Senate, it may just be all over for Trump.
