Trump Tariffs

Trump Keeps Pressing the Tariffs Button…
February 22, 2026
The tariffs are unconstitutional. So naturally… Trump keeps pressing the button. This animated short imagines what happens when executive power runs into a brick wall. And ketchup.
Came right after Supreme Court ruled the tariffs illegal.

On Friday 2/20 the Supreme Court handed down a ruling that Trump’s tariffs are unconstitutional. And naturally Trump had multiple unhinged tantrums live on national TV, insulting even 2 of his precious Supreme Court nominees. The dictator knows no bounds.

I knew there was a cartoon short to be made to satirize his childish behavior. So I revived the Trump toddler idea that I used in the Greenland video a few weeks ago. It seems appropriate. I also revived the magic button idea – from the insurrection act video. Trump often acts like he can just rule his kingdom by pressing a button.

In this video we set the scene of Trump having a grand old time pressing the “tariffs” button, then being told HIS Supreme Court ruled against the tariffs. Well, you can’t have a Trump tantrum without ketchup being thrown against the wall. A cheap trick but effective at getting the point across.
