The audience cheered the news.
“Justices, you’ve done something truly historic,” Colbert said. “You’ve made people go ‘woohoo!’ about tariffs.”
Writing for the majority, Chief Justice John Roberts said Trump “must identify clear congressional authorization to exercise it.”
“Do you hear that, Mr. President?” Colbert gloated. “Your tariffs are so illegal, the Supreme Court just ordered you to exercise.”
But naturally, there was one person very unhappy about that ruling: Trump himself, who raged at the justices as “fools” and accused them of being “swayed by foreign interests.”
Colbert found that complaint more than a little ironic.
“And Trump has been very clear: He will not be swayed by foreign interests,” he said, then added an important caveat: “Only by foreign golden plane, foreign golden crown, and foreign golden FIFA peace prize.”
