Supreme Court ruled on Friday that Trump’s sweeping global tariffs, ushered in under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, were unlawfully imposed
On Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Trump’s sweeping global tariffs, ushered in under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, were unlawfully imposed. Trump had used the act to charge huge levies on countries, including 50% on India, which was later reduced, and 34% on China.
By Friday night, the president posted on Truth Social that he signed an executive order enabling him to bypass Congress and impose a 10% tax on imports from around the world. “It is my Great Honor to have just signed, from the Oval Office, a Global 10% Tariff on all Countries, which will be effective almost immediately,” Trump wrote.
Less than 24 hours later, Trump said he was bumping up the tariffs to 15% “based on a thorough, detailed, and complete review of the ridiculous, poorly written, and extraordinarily anti-American decision on Tariffs issued yesterday.”
And just like that trump finally realized he is not the king of the world. He’s the titanic.
Lol, I have a real question, does anything actually happen when Trump makes these outlandish terrif statement?
Imagine if he was this enthusiastic about raising taxes on the people robbing the working class.
Why would he tax his “friends” that have him millions so he doesn’t?
So, basically, starving the peeps of the US, while, every other country, moves out of the US trade.
It’ll boost domestic production!! /s
WHAT? An extra 15% tariff on all this stuff that I don’t export to america!!! Oh no, oh dear!
Anyways a real man would’ve put a 1111% tariff on everything. Once again the orange child rapist takes the easy way out!!!
So did he just blow up all of those trade deals he made to spite the SC, or are all those countries exempt from the 15%? Based on the UK response quoted in the article, it seems they have similar questions…
No one knows. This entire thing is a temper tantrum.
He’s apparently applying these tariffs under a different law than the one they used previously, which does explicitly allow the president to apply temporary (150 days) tariffs of up to 15%. So you would assume this is meant to replace the tariffs the SC struck down.
But he’s also stated that the previous tariffs are going to stay in effect, just under a different legal theory. So in his mind, it’s possible that he thinks this 15% is on top of the existing amounts, and he’s literally just tariffing the whole world harder because he’s mad about a decision by his judiciary.
Then again, maybe he’s just a dementia-ridden old idiot who can’t keep his own bullshit straight for more than 30 seconds.
He started as a halfwit, and dementia has diminished that. Don’t expect reason or sense. It’s all reaction to being told no.
Ya’ll Americans are cooked. A national sales tax that a crazy bastard will steal for himself and you don’t have guns to do anything about it.
Why do you think we don’t have guns?
Because Americans claim they need the second amendment and all its school-shootey downsides in order to protect themselves against a tyrannical government.
Then a tyrannical government appears, and said government also starts executing your citizens in the streets.
Maybe it’s just my leftist bubble of woke protecting me from the truth, but I have heard exactly 0 cases of armed resistance from the people referenced in the first paragraph of this post.
There have been armed resistance, just not any gun violence came of it
Yep, and as we all should know, no gun violence means no coverage from msm
Supreme Court: your tariffs are illegal
Orange Jackass: fine, I’ll impose different tariffs and I’ll make them worse just to spite you
“All new tariffs with blackjack and
hookerslittle kiddies!”
Hey Google, define: racket
I learned what the racket was yesterday:
For real lol, this is garden variety extortion of the “nice place ya got here…” flavor. Even the dumbest criminals alive know this one.
Diaper Don taxing Americans to funnel the money to his board of peace to give to his children in order to build a riviera resort in Gaza.
Just hurry the fuck up and die already. Jesus Christ.
Trying to imagine if things would be better under Vance…
I’m just looking for a win here - however small it may be.
The couch fucker fucks couches, I think we can all agree on that…but he absolutely must be less of an imbecile than the orange child fucker, surely?
Nah Vance 100% is going to be doing shady shit and making a lot of unethical deals to push through executive orders and influence legislation to benefit his benefactors.
If the GOP honestly thought Vance would be better they’d be trying to force trump out by now so Vance can do damage control for the midterms. They know the vice pedophile is just as bad as the pedophile in chief so they won’t do anything. Or worse, the GOP is so weak and divided now they don’t have the votes to do anything without the magats and they’ve burned every bipartisan bridge down to the waterline.
Clots and prayers.
Those cheeseburdlers have been very disappointing to all, in their ongoing failure to do their job.
Seriously. I eat so much as a quarter pounder and I feel like my heart is about to explode. How does this fucker get away with it, eating this garbage every day??
Evil people just live longer, ever noticed that? It’s that stress-free lifestyle of not giving a shit about anybody or anything.
Money
Your can help him along by doing more of whatever stresses him out the most.
He is, for some stupid fucking reason, allowed to impose tarrifs for 150 days.
Then it goes to congress to vote on whether to keep them, and they likely won’t.
What a fucking asshole
and they likely won’t.
You mean the same Republican-dominated congress that has basically given him handjobs every time he breaks a fucking law and does something that is actually under the direction of congress? The same Republican-dominated congress that has essentially abdicated any responsibility to govern at all? I’m skeptical, but I hope you’re right.
What a fucking asshole
For real, this is another mask-off moment. He had played up the tariffs as a game to push other countries around, but clearly and literally the only reason he is doing this is because he’s pissed off at the Supreme Court. It has fuck-all to do with other countries because it’s the same rate, worldwide, with no room for negotiations. He’s supposed to be this great negotiator of trade deals with other countries, yet he’s blowing up every single potential trade deal with a flat 15% worldwide because he’s pissed off at people in his own government.
If people can’t tell that he doesn’t give a flying fuck about anything except pushing people around, doesn’t matter who or about what, they’re fucking idiots. He’s just a cruel fucking asshole, like you said.
If people can’t tell that he doesn’t give a flying fuck about anything except pushing people around, doesn’t matter who or about what, they’re fucking idiots.
I’ve been spending more time on Facebook, to get sort of a bead on the general consensus. Even accounting for bots, there are a lot of fucking idiots in this country.
Where does the 150 days come from? FFS, we had nearly a full year before SCOTUS struck down the shit he started last year.
The 150 day limit is part of the law he is citing to justify this set of tariffs.
The Trade Act of 1974.
WTF, that allows Krasnov to raise consumer prices no matter what.
Only up to 15% and only for 150 days. After that Congress has to approve an extension.
That being said… I don’t know if there is any actual codified safeguard in it to prevent him from just stopping it and starting a new set again. I haven’t looked at the exact wording.
Who is going to actually enforce these?
What if people just refuse to collect anything, whether it’s his 10 or 15 percent?
And tell anyone asking questions to take it up with the Supremes.
Customs?
Prices are going to increase again!
Yes. Please keep it up Trump. We need more time to be in forced diversification from the US.
Fun fact, in Canada our total exports have actually been going up, including our total exports to the US. But as a preventage of our exports, exports to the US have shrunk because our exports to the rest of the world have grown faster.
We should send Trump a gift basket.
