Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said he is “confident” Donald Trump’s tariff plan “will win” at the Supreme Court, but warned the U.S. would be forced to issue massive refunds if it loses.
National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett noted that there are “other legal authorities” that the administration could use if the tariffs are blocked.
Before court action, Trump’s tariffs were set to affect nearly 70% of U.S. goods imports.
What phenomenal bullshit - There’s no way they’ve collected that much, or even will by the end of the year. That’s 20% of the Federal budget, or 3% of GDP, collected in the last 5 months of the year after whiplash, back and forth “we’re doing it today, no, now we’re waiting 2 weeks”?
They’re setting this all up for the largest theft ever committed on Earth.
They need to get these clowns under oath more often.
I don’t see how that would change anything, though I’m all ears to find out why it could. I swear there’s nothing stopping these fucks from doing exactly what they want at this point.
The largest theft ever committed on earth so far.
We’ve still got another 3.3 (+ ???) years of this idiocy.
