Court curbs outreach

The decision by America’s Supreme Court to strike down U.S. President Donald Trump’s imposition of tariffs on numerous countries, is indeed a blow to the American President who has been running the administration ever since he was elected for a second term, as a dictator and not as a President who is bound to respect laws.

All those who are genuinely concerned with the hasty and imprudent acts of the American President are indescribably glad that he has been snubbed as his actions are a clear case of ‘It out-Herods Herod’.

Though Mr. Trump may try his level best to wriggle out of the situation, the entire world will see him in a good light if he at least now realises that he has committed a Brobdingnagian folly in imposing tariffs.
