Supreme Court to Trump

“Eat shit.”
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.flockofseagulls104 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 21, 2026 2:33 pmhttps://x.com/i/status/2025255261536223359
Can't wait to post any TDS news, can you. Facts, schmacts. Who cares.
Tariffs will continue.

I voted for Trump, but my give-me-a-break meter is wavering.
BTW, The law that he used allows him to completely cutoff trade with a country. But it won't allow him, (according to the 6 votes on the SC) to impose a lesser measure of tariffs.flockofseagulls104 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 21, 2026 8:42 pmAnd your alternative is what?Beebs52 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 21, 2026 6:13 pmQuestion: why didn't he originally attempt tariffs under the supposed doable laws?

Call me stupid. Don't have a clue about what you said.flockofseagulls104 wrote: ↑Sun Feb 22, 2026 7:38 pmBTW, The law that he used allows him to completely cutoff trade with a country. But it won't allow him, (according to the 6 votes on the SC) to impose a lesser measure of tariffs.
SO the alternative is views like the supposed doctor? Or the dems? You may not like some of what Trump does, but at least he keeps his promises and actually loves this country.
The law that he used allows him to completely cutoff trade with a country. But it won't allow him, (according to the 6 votes on the SC) to impose a lesser measure of tariffs.[I guess he assumed that by any reasonable interpretation, that emergency law allowed him penalties up to and including cutting off all trade with another country. But these days TDS overrules reason for many people.]Question: why didn't he originally attempt tariffs under the supposed doable laws?
So what is the alternative? Who else are you going to support? What alternative views are there that make any reasonable sense or are even palatable?I voted for Trump, but my give-me-a-break meter is wavering.
Flock, I get that I THINK he loves our country more than himself. I do question the stability of some of his decisions lately. That does not make me a crazy leftwing radical idiot. If one blanketly approves all his actions then one is faulty in logical or prudent thinking.flockofseagulls104 wrote: ↑Sun Feb 22, 2026 9:00 pmThe law that he used allows him to completely cutoff trade with a country.

The alternative is views like the supposed doctor (weyoun)? Or the dems?
I would hope the give-me-a-break meter doesn't reach that low for you. You may not like some of what Trump says or does, but at least he keeps his promises and actually loves this country.
Does that help?
Because a tariff is (no matter how much Trump denies it) a tax on American citizens.flockofseagulls104 wrote: ↑Sun Feb 22, 2026 7:38 pmBTW, The law that he used allows him to completely cutoff trade with a country.

"What IEEPA Can Do: IEEPA still permits the President to block financial transactions, freeze assets, and place sanctions on foreign entities or governments in response to an unusual and extraordinary threat"
Unusual and extraordinary threat...
As I understand it, it's a tax on foreign goods that is imposed on those goods in order to sell them in the USA. In order to compete with US made goods, they need to lower their prices to account for those tariffs, otherwise they lose the USA market. Very few are willing to lose our market for their goods, so they adjust their prices.jarnon wrote: ↑Sun Feb 22, 2026 9:10 pmBecause a tariff is (no matter how much Trump denies it) a tax on American citizens.flockofseagulls104 wrote: ↑Sun Feb 22, 2026 7:38 pmBTW, The law that he used allows him to completely cutoff trade with a country.

You don't view it as an 'extraordinary threat'? Is that a 'give-me-a-break' statement?
