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