Trumps tariff’s struck down by Supreme Court

Excellent news Tuliptree. I look forward to the fall out and unravelling of the implications.

Apparently he’s giving a press conference shortly. £130bn has already been collected in tariffs and even Brett Kavanagh has said sorting this out will be a mess. It can all be sorted it seems imposing tariffs individually but will take time. He’s just going to be so furious he’s been thwarted and by his own specially constituted SC. How very dare they?

I’ve heard that he has a plan B.

He’s not happy is he😄😄.

“I’m a good boy”

Just watching it now…don’t suppose anything much will happen as he seems to do what he wants regardless.

US citizens must be relieved to know that the checks and balance system is not entirely dead.

They played a clip, from the time when he first announced the tariffs, and then a clip from him at a conference yesterday.
The difference in 'voice' power was very obvious.

Trump has announced a 10% global tariff after the disappointing result from the Supreme Court.

He's not a good loser is he.

AGAA4

He's not a good loser is he.

You think ? 😂😂😂😂

I was not expecting the Supreme Court to grow a backbone, given that some of them are Trump appointees.
Mr Trump has explained that the reason for this is foreign infiltration.
Perhaps it's those aliens he's looking at just now

I think two of his appointees voted not as he wished and so swayed the vote. Amazing

This is going to be a huge mess. What is really sad is, all those companies will get refunds. Think the consumer will? Think prices will go down? Billions of dollars of our money gone. He already announced another 10% tariff and has said the rest will remain. That is illegal too.

His Presidency is on life support now IMO. No one takes him, or MAGA seriously any longer. Even MAGA is turning on him. They no longer have the upper hand. We've seen too much. He will still do damage while he can, but his days are numbered.

Our predictions that this will be his last year of any real power to change things domestically seem correct, however, he is still free to wreak havoc around the world.

I suspect that this is how he will spend the last couple of years of his presidency - threatening, doing deals, shunting in his son-in-law to finalise deals for the Trump family etc. - if his cognitive ability stands up to it.

Perversely this ruling will actually help the economy.

Trump said he was ashamed of members of the Supreme Court and then went on to say that the US has the power to destroy other countries but can’t put a few extra dollars on tariffs, indeed was bigging up how great the US is in general as usual. He sounds positively demented and someone should whisper in his shell like ear that tariffs punish ordinary Americans as much as those he wants to issue tariffs against.
Perhaps what has happened to Andrew should underline the fact that nobody is above the law, not even this poor excuse for a president.
Can’t someone have him assessed for dementia. Have never heard a sane grown man talk like him. Is like a badly written spoof.

The 'real' message usually comes out in the overnight rant.
Haven't seen that yet.

This is illegal, too. This is what is puzzling me, imaround. The current tarrif imposition has been judged to be ilegal and all over my social media there were business people rubbing their hands at the thought of getting their money back. But who is going to order the implementation of that?

Likewise, who is going to implement this further 10%? What are steps from presidential rant to EO and instruction to the bureaucracy who will implement it?

I'm not sure anyone know the answer MaizieD. This is rather unprecedented.

The average amount per household is $1,700 over the last year. I can certainly spend that money elsewhere. This is nothing but back end corporate welfare and we are getting the short end of the stick, as usual.

Shows Supreme Court is not Mr Trump's poodle after all.

Our checks and balances are still working every once in a while. But I wouldn't get too excited about the SV not being his lapdog. They are part of the reason we are in this mess because they have him immunity.

Oops... SC ot SV

I can't see how those new tariffs will stand either- what a mess.

Trump reminds me of King Canute- he's about to be hit by a very big wave soon and it's all his own fault.

Trump has put the new tariffs up to 15% now.
May go up or down in the next few days. Who knows
