The Supreme Court on Friday ruled that President Donald Trump violated federal law when he unilaterally imposed sweeping tariffs across the globe, a striking loss for the White House on an issue that has been central to the president’s foreign policy and economic agenda.

    So let me get this straight, the companies that raised their prices based on Trump’s tariffs get to apply for a refund with no requirement to lower prices and pass that refund on to the consumers who actually had to pony up the money at the ‘cash register’ every day. Once again, corporations get an undeserved bailout while the American consumer gets shafted. Typical.

      …and those refunds will flow through Howard Lutnick (and son’s) business.

      Just more crime. When will Americans stop bending over and taking it from these criminals?

        It was supposed to be once the bread and circuses became unaffordable, but we’re all so overworked that we don’t have the energy to punch up.

      Even better than that is all the shit that he implemented claiming that the tarrifs would pay for them aren’t going anywhere

    At his White House news conference, Trump announced alternative options, including an immediate 10% global tariff.

    Lol, the US is a clown show.

    The Supreme Court sided with business over the US government. No surprise there. According to the law this whole action was illegal. I am surprised it was not unanimous and had three dissenters.

    Where in the fuck do companies get off thinking the tariffs, paid by consumer, is going to be refunded to them!?

    So the Supreme Court finally found out what we all already knew?

    But a few of them clearly still haven’t gotten the memo?

    I mean I’m trying to be happy about this news, but it’s kind of just more proof how pathetic and corrupt our SC is.

    He ignored the court ruling, keeps all the tariffs in place AND he raises them 10% just because the supreme court made him angry.

    Think about how batshit crazy that is.

    Also, funny some of you think they will refund the money. That won’t happen because they will refuse to do it. Very simple for the EPSTIEN administration to just refuse legal orders. He’s immune by the same supreme court.

    It doesn’t matter. Remember all those times when Trump & Co set a tariff percentage, then lowered it a few weeks later? I wonder why? Maybe somebody made a “donation” to his bitcoin account. He got what he wanted.

    Another illegal {insert thing here}?

    Oh, wow, is it time to arrest and charge?
    Or, will you do nothing just like the 7456 times the fat cunt broke your laws in the last year and you did fuck all?

      This seems like a job for drumroll+horns CHUCK SHUMER & HAKEEM JEFFRIES

        This criticism makes no sense. Articles of impeachment require a simple majority in the house and then a 2/3rds majority in the Sentate.

        The dems don’t have the votes. Jeffries likely couldn’t even get it to the house floor for a vote. Johnson wouldn’t allow it.

        Like we can critize them for giving the Republicans their budget or about 1,000 other issues within their power, but this isn’t something they can deliver. Unless a lot of Republicans suddenly grow a conscience

          At this point Chucks glasses were so far down his nose Hakeem knew it was about time the Baileys were about to show up in person.

          Would they be as concerned as Chumer? Find out this and more in the next thrilling episode.

      I’m not sure something like this would ever have resulted in an arrest? Even in other countries?

      An impeachment and conviction and removal from office though should be in the cards, but obviously won’t be.

    So the only thing they rule against Trump on is the issue with almost zero human rights consequences. Everything else that is immediately endangering and killing people, no worries!
