“Americans breathed a brief sigh of relief last week when the Supreme Court knocked out Trump's harmful tariff proposals. Americans are suffering because Donald Trump is raising tariffs. People pay more for so many daily goods, so many groceries, for cars, for homes, for everything. And the American people hate the tariffs because they know it is raising their costs. And so, for a brief moment, there was a sigh of relief that you heard from one end of America to the other because the Supreme Court correctly said: The President can't raise tariffs on an emergency basis, only the Congress can. But Donald Trump, who is in a bubble, has no understanding of what the American people need, feel, or want, reimposed the tariffs right away, and then he one-upped it--doubled down on it--and raised them again, and now Americans are back in the same position they were before the Court decision: higher prices, more inflation, harder to afford things, harder to pay the bills. And a good chunk of that increase, the difficulty in paying the bills, is because of Trump's tariffs. Democrats will not stand for it. And, in fact, the new tariff regime that Trump put in must expire in a few months and needs Congress' approval. I am here to tell Donald Trump and the American people: We will not extend those tariffs, and they will expire in a few months. And hopefully then Republicans will join us in not allowing Trump to raise tariffs, which so raise costs for the American people.”
