The Trump Tariffs thread

[SteveGrabowski]

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.

Not sure I agree, he knows the cost of tariffs get spread to the people so he can pay for tax cuts to the oligarchy.

Yeah, this week he's gotten into plugging the release of info about alleged alien sightings.

And the worst part?

If they exist, the Pedo Prez will now have to send ICE after them too. After all, you don't get much more illegal than that....

I don't think the Pedo In Chief can actually spell the word tariff, much less maintain the minimally higher level cognitive function required to understand what it truly is.

The Chief Justice has made his ruling.

Now let him enforce it.

The abandonment of the rule of law is how violence replaces politics.
They can gloat about not enforcing it, but the consequences will be more than they can bear.

Yup, they sure have faced a lot of consequences over the last 10 years!

Starting when Mitch McConnell paid a huge price for not letting Obama have a SCOTUS pick. Remember that? Or am I getting my alternate timelines all mixed up?

Trump didn't spend an hour whining impotently on TV because he's going to defy SCOTUS.

If Trump ignored the decision anyone asked to pay tariffs could say, "why" and not pay. Surely the courts wouldn't say they're guilty of a crime. Trump could, I suppose, but how would he force payment? He can't get congress to institute the tariffs. Wasn't this country founded on the premise that "taxation without representation" is irresponsible subjugation? I don't think that Trump's workarounds for ignoring the SCOTUS' decision are going to prove popular. Just how popular is Trump going to be come election times?

Such a hero, this guy:

Armed Man Is Fatally Shot at Mar-a-Lago, Secret Service Says​

The man was killed early Sunday after an “unauthorized entry” into the secure perimeter at President Trump’s resort in Florida, the agency said. The president was not at the club at the time.

My local npr station just had a program on and it talked about a website that you can get IEEPA tariff refund

But it was on 91.7 about 10:15
