Yeah during oral arguments, they knew this was coming.

Where as in the VRA it seemed like most justices were signalling it'll be struck.
 
Not the worst ruling. Basically, you can't impose tariffs unilaterally even under emergency powers, you have to go through congress. It's not a knock on policy just on procedure. It takes some of Trump's leverage in negotiations but that's about it. It's highly unlikely that any money will have to be paid back unless entities sue for them and win.

Some companies did sue, including Costco, maybe they'll get some cash back.

Bessent seems like he's the type of guy to be 3 or 4 steps ahead, and they had to expect that SCOTUS would strike it down. The repayment aspect is the only one that concerns me a little bit.

The way they were talking about it/bringing it up randomly ("Oh, we feel confident SCOTUS is defintely going to rule in our favor") gave me the vibe they knew.
 
What's wild about this Supreme Court decision is the fact that it doesn't stop Trump or any President from just going "We don't want shit from your dogshit country" and shutting off all trade with them.

Trump could be funny and just shut off all Trade to countries he doesn't like
 
Ffffuuuuuukkkkkk FFUUUUUCCCCKKKK
Fucking hell. The economy is screwed.
NGL it fucking kneecaps a gigantic weapon Trump had to force nations into line and to get literally trillions in investments
Looks like there will be a big investigation into lease and mortgage fraud by Jeets in Frisco TX soon. Same type of DIY "journalism" that kicked off in MN is now looking into realty abuse in DFW metro area.
Good,. finally
How is thst even possible? Isn't international trade pretty much exclusively in the authority of the executive?

Why would domestic courts have any jurisdiction whatsoever over international trade?
Yes but 6/3 Supreme Court members probably has TDS
It's the purview of Congress, actually.
Lmao like Congress can actually pass a fucking law to save their lives
Weird, the admin seemed really confident they were gonna win on this. Eh, they've already said they have contingencies.
They probably assumed that since Congress had sent almost all tariff lower to the executive sinw really the 1930s to the 1970s they were good
Alright, cool. Now he can focus on getting rid of every fucking non-citizen in the country.
Can't wait for the Supreme Court to simp for illegals next week. Fucking cucks.
this was the literal only concern I had. this is a slap on the wrist to force trump to do things a little more by the book, almost the equivalent of wexner's lawyer warning him to stop yabbering.
Ehhhh this takes away a gigantic economic weapon Trump used to extract major concessions and investments from the Euros and Asians
So, does this mean that tariffs are basically reset to what they were before Trump came into office?
Anything in place pre Feb 2025 remains (those were all under different statutes) and anything in place after Feb 2025 that used the same sections as pre Feb 2025 tariffs.

Plus there are other statues Trump can use but they're a bit more involved and require formal investigations.
It sounds like Trump will have to jump through a few more hoops before instating a tariff which while retarded, is not the end of the world.

Alternatively, we win the midterms and Congress can pass a law making it easier for the executive to enact tariffs. :optimistic:
Yes and those hoops take time and move at the speed of government (think back to Obama trying to tariff Chinese tire dumping, shit took YEARS to get into place and by then the Chinese already made billions and nearly bankrupted the entire non Chinese tire industry)

Plus the average tariff rate isn't zero, it's more like 6% now vs 15% average.
 
even i, notorious bait-taker, didn't fall for the hulkster's fishing rod. and I love taking bait.
There’s bait and then there’s Bait.

I don’t think you could find a post from the homo hulkster to indicate that doesn’t actually have a seething hatred of trump that would get him to shoot his own foot off

Did he elicit reactions? Yes

Is he detached from the subject matter and just enjoying it? No
 
Aw, you can't even answer the question. It's okay, we know you're a low test beta cuck who wants to be submissive to another man
But i answered the question, hulkypoopoo.

If trump acts like a TEStard( like you) i would stop supporting him. Come on now, i know you have shit for brains but you do realise that just trying No selling answers won't cut it.
 
My thoughts are that Trump isn't a strong enough leader for the situation we're in. He's been given several once in a lifetime opportunities to crush the libtards and just refuses to act each time. His failure to act in response to Charlie Kirk's murder has proven to the left that they can basically defame a person until a crazy goes out and murders them with impunity.

He's the ultimate boomer president, he cares mostly about line go up for his fellow elderly, even if it means the actual working young citizens of America get fucked.

But if Kamala won she'd have finished what Biden started by opening the borders, shipping them to red states, give them voting rights, and ensure a Democrat permanent super majority and the full South Africanization of America.

Trump as president is better than America fully becoming a brown 3rd world ghetto, but someone better needs to come along immediately after or we're fucked.
He's a kosher-right president who's here to say things that please the goyim while doing nothing to help anyone but Israel and their dual-citizens in America. If you think Vance will be any better, you're retarded.
 
I could appreciate it if the democrats would stop trying to exterminate my race and eliminate my country. If they provide a candidate that follows that doctrine, I’d be happy to hear what they have to say.

They don't have one, they were all thrown out. That;'s why they run entitled, pant-suited cunts and dementia patients.
 
I dont think @Hollywood Hulk Hogan should have been banned in the first place. I think to have political discussions you need to have people from the left and right.
I don't want to be a hypocrite like them. I know I get banned sometimes for shitting places up, but even then I think only a temp unless you're threatening people irl/doing illegal crap.
 
Then why does their thread ban dissenters on sight? Honest debate goes both ways.
Im not in there thread. If thats the case they shouldn't be banning people on there end. The thing I like about this site is that we all have a common hatred of troons not that we have to agree on everything.
 
Which do these apply to?
Steel & Aluminum, Automobiles & parts, Copper products, Semiconductors. Section 301 tariffs are primarily everything from CHINA!!!! and were implemented during his first term.

The IEEPA tariffs are all about Fentanyl (China, Canada, Mexico) or reciprocal tariffs with a few muh deficit things sprinkled about.
USCMA is up for renewal soon so Trump is most likely going to let that die.
