The U.S. Supreme Court delivered a ruling yesterday that deemed President Donald Trump's tariffs on several countries as illegal, a decision that seems to strike against him. However, the judges could be indirectly granting Trump a significant favor; his protectionist measures are widely recognized as possibly the most unpopular aspect of his administration, even among Republicans. Hence, while the court appears to be providing checks against his governance, they may also be offering him a reprieve from policies that are damaging his standing and presidency.
