In a reflective note, President Donald Trump marked the anniversary of his electoral triumph, hailing it as one of the most remarkable wins in US history, coinciding with his claim of an economic surge and a pledge towards affordability. However, the reality presents a more complex picture.

A report from ABC News highlights that Trump's tariff policies are perceived by many Americans as a contributor to rising living costs, challenging the economic prosperity narrative. Nearly 70% of Americans report increased grocery spending, and additional burdens are felt in utilities, healthcare, and housing, indicating widespread concern over Trump's economic strategies.

The matter escalates to the Supreme Court, which is slated to deliberate on Trump’s authority to enforce reciprocal tariffs. With a substantial part of the public disapproving of the tariff policy, the case could redefine the boundaries of presidential power regarding economic measures, posing significant implications for national and international economic stability.
