Supreme Court gives Trump — and the rest of the GOP — a gift in disguise

(Aaron Blake – CNN) The Supreme Court on Friday dealt President Donald Trump perhaps the most significant rebuke of his second term. The justices, including two of the president’s appointees, struck down Trump’s signature economic policy: his global tariffs. In the long run, the court might have saved him from himself — at least politically. Some Republicans are outright praising the decision, and you can bet more are happy behind the scenes. That’s because, while the decision is clearly a major setback for Trump’s agenda, it also strips him of tools that seemed to cause short-term economic damage to the country, and that were clearly doing short-term political damage to Trump’s party. – Supreme Court gives Trump and the rest of the GOP a political gift | CNN Politics
