While a controversial Appellate panel from the 9th Circuit recently declared President Trump’s tariffs unconstitutional, two key facts persist. First, the tariffs remain active at this moment. Second, President Trump and Scott Bessent express confidence that they will prevail before the Supreme Court.

Sec. Bessent emphasized during an interview: “We think we’re going to win at the Supreme Court.” He highlighted concerns about financial instability caused by persistent trade deficits, stating efforts are underway to avert a crisis. The impact of the tariffs has exceeded expectations, with Bessent continually revising revenue projections upward as more funds accumulate.

“The tariffs are not only working—they are revolutionary,” he stated. “We should have done this decades ago.” Bessent criticized past leadership, asserting, “Our country has been run by STUPID people… probably mostly the latter [those who intentionally wanted to implode America from the inside].”

He projected potential revenue at $300 billion, noting it could surpass that figure. Bessent cited record-high deficit-to-GDP ratios during peacetime as a catalyst for the tariffs’ financial impact. “This is like running a marathon and starting 5 miles before everybody,” he said.
