Just more conservative hypocrisy that will be totally ignored, because they've learned that shame doesn't matter either.

And the fucking pathetic mainstream media just has headlines like, Trump chides justices, and bullshit takes like that.
Nothing about his ranting and raving and yet more delusional nonsense coming out of his mouth. I mean par for the course they have never covered him correctly since day one. Same as a Democratic party who has never opposed him correctly since day one.

Why do you question the separation of powers?
Congress sets the taxes on the American people, not the President.
No longer shocked at whatever he says or does anymore.. Lets just hope enough MAGAts feel the pain he is bringing to them through his incompetence.

I noticed some confusion on today's subject. Somehow confusing this with foreign policy or military action.
Let's clear the air with a PROPER headline. The sort a newsroom would not dare print today.
President ignores supreme court to raise taxes on Americans.

President Trump imposes a 10% global tariff under Section 122 and says all existing tariffs will remain in place, despite the recent Supreme Court ruling.

It would be funny if this precipitated a kind of "second american revolution". Once again due to taxes from a "king"

Would have been better if Democrat governors could and would coordinate and send a united message like this.
We need more.

He’s doubling down because his ego can’t take a loss. It’s classic narcissism stemming from never being told “No” in his life. Bullies like him only respond to force, unfortunately.

Still waiting for folks to toss their MAGA hats into the waters off of Miami, Palm Beach, Cape Coral, Panama City etc.—Boston Tea Party style. I think we’ll be waiting a while…

grift grift grift buy up all those tariff duties for pennies.....
All that said, it’s hard to imagine anything more emblematic of the Trump Era than what is for all intents and purposes still the Commerce Secretary’s company (yes, yes, arms length hand off to his twenty-something sons) making bets on something Lutnick himself has significant influence over. Indeed, far more important than whatever influence Lutnick has over tariff policy is that significant visibility he has into the bet’s probable outcome.

Love this take at barchart.com, quoted in part:
Secretary Lutnick to Register 1, Please
After the Supreme Court's rebuke of his trade agenda, President Trump said today he'll move forward with a new 10% global tariff. In a White House press briefing with reporters, he justified the strategy shift by citing the ironclad legal precedent of �We have the right to do pretty much what we want to do.�
Notably, a Penn Wharton estimate produced for Reuters suggests the U.S. could now be on the hook for about $175 billion in tariff refunds, which is the kind of transaction you generally need a floor manager to authorize.

Well, it should, but Donald won't listen without rude interruptions to something like that. But the press has a job and if it's holding the POTUS' feet to the fire, that's my idea of heroism.

His mental illness has him destroying even his own voters and loyalists, and they just keep asking for more.
You'd think the world was your oyster too if those morons kept asking for more.
Even Biden failed to put Trump in his place. Man has never known justice his whole life.

I suspect it's going to be much more than just refunding tarrifs, as many will also seek damages for loss of business due to his illegal tarrifs.

What would be best is if they would all coordinate filing lawsuits demanding return of the money in the next 10 days in all Federal circuits. The states would likely only be able to sue to cover losses to the states in terms of tax revenues, though.
The average citizen will likely have to file Federal class action lawsuits. Which, no doubt, will make the plaintiff lawyers obscenely filthy rich and result in the class members getting $10 checks or something similar.
It will be amusing to watch how all the MAGAts that were thrown under the bus with the tariffs react when El-Presidente Pedo Princess doesn't just give them their money back and makes them sue to get it.

Yet another example of DJT running things based purely on how he feels in the moment, which is one argument MAGAts made about not wanting to elect a female President.

This tells you everything you need to know about tariffs being a power trip for Trump. He has no clue how tariffs really work. He just loves shoving his elbows at everyone.
