Trump calls six justices a ‘disgrace to the nation’ while praising three justices who dissented
Donald Trump on Friday railed against the supreme court justices who blocked his use of tariffs, calling them a “disgrace to the nation”, and later signing documents imposing a 10% tariff on all countries.
Trump said he would immediately sign an order increasing tariffs globally by 10% under section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 and will begin investigations of unfair trade practices allowing further tariffs. He asserted that he had the authority to impose additional tariffs under existing statutes without congressional approval.
By Friday evening, Trump posted on Truth Social: “It is my Great Honor to have just signed, from the Oval Office, a Global 10% Tariff on all Countries, which will be effective almost immediately.”
So what about all these “deals” all the other governments like the UK, SK and EU did with the US to bring tarrifs down to 10 or 15 %? I suppose they are now all void as well?
They got what the deserved. They got played. You can’t make a deal with Trump.
If only somebody could foresee this outcome…
It’s too bad he doesn’t have a long history of dealings that could be referenced.
I hope every country with a side deal recinds it and just forgets about trading with the USA for a while.
As an American, yeah me too.
Unfortunately I don’t think the lesson will each the people who need it the most. Republican voters don’t seem to be capable of learning.
