The Trump Tariffs thread

[Indus]

I was about to post the very same thing. We're fucked…

I snickered to myself about a post I read somewhere here that said the tangerine terrorist was the last president of the US. This fucking timeline…

Unless the military get involved.. he's not leaving!

people shouldn't drink any vodka, it's fucking rancid shit. There's a reason we evolved to hate/avoid ethanol, but then to just make "just as close to ethanol as we want it to be" and think it's worth consuming...wtf.

also seeing "martini" in the same sentence/implication that vodka should be involved is fucking horrifying. Who does that? why?

All we need is Gin and Whiskey/Wiskey. Vote for Zin for president, 2032 (also, no more golf courses anywhere--we're burning all that shit down or simply returning it to nature. fuck golf and vodka. vote for Zin)

I was gonna have something to say about vodka til you said you were getting rid of golf. I'm willing to sacrifice vodka for that. Fire away.

excellent! but full transparency: you may want to stick around to hear my ketchup platform before you invest too heavily in this.

Tito’s vodka, you anti-american heathens! Distilled in Austin, TX and as a bonus it’s gluten free because it's made from corn!

This got past me the first time but yeah...any liquor is gonna be gluten free, no matter the mash. Anything distilled won't have any protein in it.

Like, bummer, man…

“While cannabis itself is grown domestically due to federal laws, much of the hardware and packaging that supports the growing industry comes from overseas. Cartridges, batteries, vape hardware, and even child-resistant containers are primarily imported from China, Malaysia, and other Asian manufacturing hubs."

How new import tariffs are impacting cannabis prices and products

Trump is going to destroy the global economy again to prove he isn't a wuss

So, are we going to see crippling tariffs now that TACO has been brought to his attention?

Dammit, he's mixing up the Back To The Future tropes. He's always been Biff, but now he's doing a Marty ("nobody calls me chicken").

So instead of going forward, we're going backwards to Liberation Day?

Haha between this and TACO he’s gonna fucking lose it

 

[evident]

So what does this mean, tariffs on hold now?

But, the constitution only applies to Democrats.

 

[allisolm]

So what does this mean, tariffs on hold now?

"A three-judge panel at the US Court of International Trade, a relatively low-profile court in Manhattan, ruled Wednesday to stop Trump’s global tariffs that he imposed citing emergency economic powers, including his “Liberation Day” tariffs imposed on April 2. It also prevents Trump from enforcing his tariffs placed earlier this year against China, Mexico and Canada, designed to combat fentanyl coming into the United States.

The court ruled in favor of a permanent injunction, grinding Trump’s global tariffs to a halt before “deals” with most other trading partners have even been reached. That means the bulk – but not all – of Trump’s tariffs are put in a standstill.

The order halts Trump’s 30% tariffs on China, his 25% tariffs on some goods imported from Mexico and Canada, and the 10% universal tariffs on most goods coming into the United States. It does not, however, affect the 25% tariffs on autos, auto parts, steel or aluminum, which were subject to Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act – a different law than the one Trump cited for his broader trade actions."

Bold is mine. The explanation made sense to me.

I bet he shit his pants when the questions were done. His aides probably were whipped in the white house backyard.

Trump’s SCOTUS picks haven’t been terribly kind to him lately.

They have their stock portfolios/bribes to foster just as much as Trump does.

Also everyone should keep in mind this ruling came from the Court of International Trade. And the make up of the judges on this ruling is also significant. One is a Reagan appointee. One is an Obama appointee. One is a Trump appointee. 3-0 decision against Trump.

Plus the law is pretty clear cut, it would take a Herculean task to wiggle out of the ruling that was just decided. From what I hear it is airtight, written so that the Supreme Court can’t dismiss the merits.
