Farmers giddy as Trump dealt 'big loss' at Supreme Court

Summary
John Boyd, Jr., the head of the National Black Farmers Association, celebrated Friday on MS NOW following the Supreme Court's decision invalidating President Donald Trump's authority to use emergency powers to enact tariffs."So, John, this morning you were feeling pretty positive," said anchor Antonia Hylton. "But now that President Trump says he's going to keep pushing these tariffs through no matter what, how are you doing?""Well, you know, I don't care how you look at it today — it's a big win for me and a big loss for this president," said Boyd, who has previously warned the tariffs are devastating farmers to the point of suicide. "That's why he was screaming to the top of his lungs at this press conference. He knows he lost in a big way today. And this is the first step in the right direction."The ruling, he continued, is "the first real hard note that this president has heard from the Supreme Court since he became elected. 6 to 3 is a pretty sweeping, you know, victory. I don't care how you look at it."The next step, said Boyd, is "we want to turn to Congress to see how we can get compensated for lost revenue from all of the hardship that these tariffs have cost us. In the soybean market alone, we lost $54 billion, and the president is proposing $12 billion. I mean, people, you can do the math there. What the Supreme Court didn't do is lay out how farmers like myself are going to recoup our losses based on the damage from the president's tariffs.""But I don't care how you look at it today, this president lost and John Boyd won today, because I've been on your show saying that these tariffs are illegal," he added. "And the courts agreed with me today. And what the president said to the Supreme Court today was deplorable. He called them lapdogs and fools and RINOs. How does he think that other world leaders are looking at this decision and rating him today? It shows his lack of leadership skills." - YouTube www.youtube.com
