President Donald Trump took to Truth Social on Monday, sounding the alarm over a looming Supreme Court ruling that could dismantle his tariff strategy. With a decision possibly coming as soon as tomorrow, January 14, Trump cautioned that striking down these trade measures would plunge the U.S. into economic chaos, forcing refunds potentially worth trillions.

"We're screwed," Trump wrote bluntly, framing the tariffs as a vital "National Security bonanza" that has reshaped global supply chains. He argued that reversing them now would require reimbursing importers, U.S. firms, and even foreign entities that invested heavily to comply—think factories relocated to skirt duties on steel or electronics. Dismissing quick fixes as "false," Trump predicted years of litigation and market turmoil, underscoring how these policies give America leverage against trade rivals like China.

At the heart is a legal challenge to Trump's use of emergency powers for broad tariffs on imports, aimed at shielding domestic industries from dumping and subsidies. Supporters point to successes like boosted U.S. steel output and renegotiated deals, while critics warn of higher costs passed to consumers. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent recently suggested refunds aren't imminent, but Trump's post amplifies fears of a broader "complete mess" disrupting businesses worldwide.

A ruling against the administration might push reliance on narrower 15% tariffs, curbing presidential flexibility and handing more control to Congress. This could ripple through jobs in manufacturing heartlands, where past tariffs revived sectors hit hard by globalization. As markets watch closely, the outcome will test Trump's "America First" economic playbook in a tense global trade environment.
