Can't wait to post any TDS news, can you. Facts, schmacts. Who cares.
Tariffs will continue.

Question: why didn't he originally attempt tariffs under the supposed doable laws? Maybe he thought if his original attempt was upheld it would open pathways for more presidential headway.
I voted for Trump, but my give-me-a-break meter is wavering.

And your alternative is what?

It doesn't seem like this alternative will pass muster. Indeed, even during the Court hearing, it was thrown out as a possibility, and the government attorney said it had to do with balance of payment deficits only, which don't apply here.
Of course, it will take time for this to be litigated, and businesses trying to keep up will suffer, and consumers will suffer. Pitiful job growth over the last year, too. Everything was overestimated by huge amounts. Navarro said this is because we got rid of illegals, but does that help "legals" if there are still no jobs being created?

The courts have been consistent in rejecting presidential exercise of powers that the Constitution clearly gives to Congress: Obama’s expansion of DACA, Biden’s student loan forgiveness, DOGE gutting of agencies, etc. Yet most politicians and pundits frame everything in partisan terms.
