Oh boy oh boy....staffer....sure

‘I didn’t make a mistake’: Trump says he won’t apologize for racist post about Obamas


Leavitt has (accidentally?) simplified it, for future reference. This was in response for a whole bunch of new confusion around the US' stance on the Chagos deal, because of Trump's internet activities.

And there it is!
U.S. Supreme Court rejects Trump’s global tariffs

To nobody's surprise, Alto, Kavanaugh and Thomas in dissent.
 
But man is Iran about to get it. He'll be looking to lash out now.
Maybe - I expect a backlash against us, with the bridge in Windsor front and center. Lot's of 'Governor Carney' comments, etc. Hopefully the consumption of a super sized Big Mac combo occurs a few times of the weekend as well.
 
How embarrassing - so much for "Liberation day" as it seems like this photo didn't age well!

This was his signature policy and it was basically a massive disaster...

Equally embarrassing is all the countries that grovelled to get trade deals with a president who was essentially working outside the laws of his country that would ultimately be shutdown anyway. I can't imagine it looks good for them either in their countries?

Ties into the Iran thread- Dictators almost always start wars to distract from problems at home or to fulfill personal vendettas. He’s got both, especially now that the Supreme Court kicked him square in the tariff chops.

By Monday or Tuesday thousands of recovery action lawsuits will be launched at him. Businesses will want their levies paid back. The bright light for him is that prices for goods containing imports should start to wind down.

The one dear to my heart is coffee > that was an insufferable move for which we really should have sent the RCN to shell and burn down his ugly boathouse in Florida.

Most countries didn't have a CUSMA to exempt a bunch of stuff, and confidence in the likelihood of the outcome had to be measured in terms of how long it would take to get there, especially through courts. Congress could have intervened to oppose or to reinforce presidential tariff powers, Democrats being historically the party more favourable to trade protectionism; the only safeguard against them jumping in was their (highly dependable, at least) inclination to oppose anything Trump does.

Hindsight is irrelevant to what they knew at the time.

Certainly makes the hardball countries - us included look much stronger globally.
 
A good summary from JT ( no not Justin Trudeau) on what this ruling achieves for Canada. Not much, it turns out…

In order for lawsuits related to tariffs to be successful, the businesses will have to show that they, and not their customers, bore the economic impact. If they simply passed on the costs to the consumer through price increases, but suffered no losses overall, their suits may not fly.
