U.S. President Donald Trump sounded a loud warning on Monday: if the Supreme Court says no to his big tariff plan, the country faces an economic and national headache! Trump’s tariffs target almost every country, a bold move using the Emergency Powers law from 1977 known as IEEPA. He said his administration plans to pay about $2,000 to middle and lower-income Americans from the money collected through these tariffs. The rest of the money, he wants to use to lower the huge U.S. debt. Trump’s top economic adviser, Kevin Hassett, spoke to reporters at the White House. He explained that at first, the government thought all tariff money would go to cutting the deficit. But thanks to a "big surge in tax revenues," they now feel ready to offer this dividend payment. This move comes at a tricky time. Trump’s popularity has dropped due to worries about the economy and rising inflation. People have been frustrated about prices going up, which helped Democrats win in states like New Jersey and Virginia recently. Trump also pushed back against news reports saying the U.S. might have to repay over $100 billion in tariffs if the Supreme Court rules his tariffs illegal. Last week, Supreme Court justices questioned whether Trump's tariff powers under the IEEPA even apply because the law doesn’t specifically mention tariffs. Justice Amy Coney Barrett said managing refunds to businesses who already paid could be "a mess." Trump, however, claims these repayment numbers are way too low. In a strong social media post, he said the required refunds could top $2 trillion, causing "an economic disaster" and a "national security disaster" if they lose the case. On a brighter note, Trump took pride in falling inflation since he took office. He said food and energy prices are going down. He expects inflation to fall to just 1.5% "pretty soon." Recent data showed consumer prices rose 3% in the year through September, a slight increase from August's 2.9%. Gasoline got more expensive, but rents, airfares, hotels, and used cars became cheaper. Still, tariffs keep prices high for clothes, appliances, furniture, and sports goods. The big question: Will Trump’s tariff gamble pay off or backfire? The Supreme Court’s upcoming ruling will be a game-changer for the economy and millions of Americans eagerly waiting to see what happens next.
