Amazingly, all of these tariffs are still completely illegal and outside his authority, and no one will even make an attempt at stopping him, or even talk about the fact that he has zero authority to be implementing tariffs.
I didn’t know the tariffs were illegal and outside his authority, thanks, TIL! Could you elaborate, or direct me to some sources? I would like to learn more
If you accept his bullshit that we are at war, then it’s legal. Since his bullshit is, in fact, bullshit, then only congress has tariff authority for 90% of the types of tariffs that he is levying.
Wow, thank you, this is really interesting, I’m surprised I haven’t heard about it from mainstream media.. then again, maybe I missed it, maybe they just didn’t mention it
I find myself inspired to create a bingo style card, put he name of random countries under the days of the week and let his tariff threats fill in the board.
Throw a couple free spaces on Tuesday for TACO night...

The US has become what Germany was in circa 1939.

More like 1933.

Or maybe buyers are just paying them as an investment until someone sues, and the US has to pay them all back...

Haha. You literally can't single out a EU country in terms of country.
