Relax, Everything is Going to be Okay!

I know they're not legal, but...

SC didn't say that tariffs aren't legal. They said the method used to justify them wasn't.

There is probably a different justification that will take another year. Plus, we don't know how many of the other countries want to change the agreements or not.

First news conference about them is scheduled for 12:45 EST.

If the specific subject is these tariffs, i.e. IEEPA tariffs, this is tomayto tomahto

With this ruling, Trump's leverage to bully his way to agreements is greatly diminished.

I would doubt any country thought the agreements made under duress, were very favorable to them.

I expect this news conference to be epic.

My guess. I expect I lot of ranting on how dumb everyone else is and how the economy is doing great and blah, blah, blah. It will be very forward looking with "stuff that is going to happen", but very little detail on what that will be.

There will be a sucker thrown in the dirt with a tiny hand and foot stamping for sure.

Don't forget the blaming of others for the damage this will do to our current economy, now that we went all in, despite widespread warnings not to do it in the first place.

Short lived ... as then there will be a quick bomber strike on Iran to divert the news stream to yet another one-and-done military "win".

Then not a mention of tariffs until Mike Johnson makes an announcement NOT to discuss it.

This whole tariff mess will be interesting. Trump will reissue tariffs using some other method. He’s said so in the past about the case. I doubt Congress will approve tariffs. Technically, the paid tariffs should be refunded. Let’s see is that happens. Another SC case in a year after the new emergency reason is brought to court.

Tariff drama.

 

[406dn]

It is not disappointing, at all. What a fn disgrace.

Think they are going to need a little more than a one and done to get a Regime change. They tried with "Release the Alien files" already but nobody gives a F because Iran, Epstein, and Tariffs are huge.

You win.

Now something to ponder, if a nonsequitur ends up back at the starting point, did it ever exist?

 

[Gr8bawana]

There are more than a few on this forum who have this mindset regarding what's going on with our current administration.

What makes you think that is even a consideration in the "win"? Obviously it was not in Venezuela.

Huh? Why do you think they are threatening Iran?

Their nuke capabilities are destroyed, just ask the white house.

We both edited our posts after the other was previously responding.

I get the impression that Iranian military is a different ballgame than venezeula when it comes to giving up their leader without a fight.

That was then ... tariff news is NOW. Thus a news flash strike is needed for WH PR.

You are still stuck on the "regime change" strategy. One-and-done targets will be nuc facilities and armament sites.

We already "obliterated" their nuke facilities. Regime change is what Israel and Trump seek. Who's saying were sending a bunch of assets there to just continue bombing military assets?

Listening to the news conference, it seems the SC left an opening. Tariffs aren't going away.
