    Trump tariffs that are voided by — and ones that are safe from — Friday’s appeals court ruling


    The court also deemed Trump’s tariffs on China, Canada and Mexico — which the administration claimed were necessary because the countries were not doing enough to curb the alleged trafficking of fentanyl into the U.S. — were illegal.
    Trump has said that he will appeal the ruling to the Supreme Court. “If allowed to stand, this Decision would literally destroy the United States of America,”

    Oh what will we do? This rhetoric is so inflammatory? How will we survive? @Nook

    Make it make sense.


    1. Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962
    • Allows the president to impose tariffs or quotas if the Department of Commerce determines that imports threaten national security.

    • Trump’s announcement of a 50% tariff on Brazilian imports, up from a baseline of 10%, was explicitly tied to Brazil’s judicial actions against his ally, former President Jair Bolsonaro. Trump labeled the prosecution of Bolsonaro—a figure he sympathizes with—as a “witch hunt”

    It's mostly performative, and for an audience of just one.

    You gotta give them some credit for how utterly shameless they are about lying with no regard. Ive never seen a government bluntly lie 24/7.

    IMO the Constitution is very clear about the need to have a National Security Emergency to enact tariffs in the way tramp has done, he didn't go through Congress and on the face of it I think SCOTUS should strike this down BUT IMO the SCOTUS is compromised to do tramp`s bidding, so this really is a flip of the coin, if they side with tramp then my suspicions will be correct that Thomas and Robers and Ailto are compromised..............they are all cheaters and grifters just like there king and its VERY clear they are maga. Either way the countries who trade with us will continue to find alternative partners as it took in some cases decades of goodwill to bring them in only to ruin our trade in 7 months and we have shown we can't be trusted. The whole BS from Besset and tramp about how this would lead to the great depression will work on his base, but for those of us who can critically think for ourselves know that's the just the biggest whopper of a lie........but funding the big beautiful tax break for the Billionaires would be difficult

    Any why wont more gop members vote to release the files.................are they hiding something for their king? Spineless cucks ......what happened to "Save the Children" and the gaslighting for the past 5 years. Question, did the fox variety show cover the survivors of Epstein presser, hell even horse face is on board. If they won't vote to release them, we will all assume trump is front and center just like Elon Musk told us

    Exactly.......if there was a time he would defy it's this! How would he fund the tax cut to the 1%.................The constitution is pretty clear on this but the majority of SCOTUS are grifters like their king so I wont be shocked if they say he has the power.

    huh? According to MAGA @Corrosion theres no homes to buy because the brown illegals making 5 dollars an hour are buying up all the houses? Youre telling me the problem is private equity and greedy corporations and not poor brown people?

    Wow shocking development.

    The Rise of Hedge Funds Buying Houses ;

    Hedge funds have become increasingly focused on real estate over the past decade, largely due to the persistent lack of housing supply. Both single family homes and multifamily markets are struggling to keep up with demand, and that imbalance creates opportunity, Where demand is high and supply is low,

    hedge fund managers such as

    • Blackstone,
    • Apollo
    • Oaktree Capital
    • etc
