On Thursday, a second federal court determined that Trump’s global were “unlawful.”
U.S. District Judge Rudolph Contreras said in an order the International Economic Emergency Economic Powers Act does not give the president the power to impose most of his recent tariffs.
Notably, the decision from Contreras – an Obama appointee – only restricts the Trump administration’s ability to collect tariffs from the two companies that filed the lawsuit, Learning Resources, Inc., and hand2mind, Inc.
No shit Sherlock.
I’m loving these smack down at the courts.
Are you a journalist by any chance?
Any ideas on how Trump might clap back?
Forgive me for trying to find joy in these harsh times.
I’ll love it more if these folks end up in jail over disregarding the courts
They will barely get a slap on their wrists
. . .aaaand they’re back on
I say let him do it. Give him a chance. If it royally fucks everyone over and we have to pay $20 for an egg it will be clear who is to blame. Now he’ll just say he’s the best tariff president in the universe because he was Blocked.
These people WILL NEVER blame Trump or themselves for anything. You need to understand this.
it will be clear who is to blame
Obama? Hillary?
They’ll find a way to make it not their own fault.
That God damned Gerald Ford. This is all his fault!!
- Trump probably.
Oh they’re already on it. Biden was the winner btw. When asked about how crappy the economy has been since the tarrifs he said perhaps the most expected thing possible:
“I think the good parts are the Trump economy and the bad parts are the Biden economy because he’s done a terrible job.”
Tariffs don’t apply if your company is large enough to afford a lengthy legal battle? Yeah that tracks.
How fucking cool would it be if he had a debilitating aneurysm live on tv?
I wish the taco question had caused one.
Reporters should be actively trying to make this happen.
I will buy a subscription to whatever outlet they work for if they make this happen.
1 hour later, and already the headline/situation has changed.
Better check who’s playing this ride on the stock market
