Did he forget about that lawsuit he lost where his tariffs were determined to be illegal?

Who am I kidding? He doesn't give a shit.

Supreme Court ruling was against tariffs under IEEPA. He is still able to use industry specific tariffs under Trade Expansion Act, that's how tariffs on Canadian auto, lumber, steel, aluminum sectors continue dispute Supreme Court ruling

[–] renzhexiangjiao@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 6 hours ago

is it then not possible for him to circumvent the ruling entirely by simply taxing the industries that account for like 99% of the trade with a given country? like it probably wouldn't be possible to list all the industries but surely listing 10 most popular ones would essentially equate to a blanket tariff

It's effectively a bailout with extra steps

Huh?

The car manufacturers will charge the customer any tariffs and then when they sue to get there money back they will not only keep the price at the higher level butv will then get the tariff money back. Same thing the last lawsuit did.

Except it's ongoing.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 5 points 10 hours ago

Gotcha. Sorry, I'm really tired.

[–] prex@aussie.zone 1 points 10 hours ago

I heard he gives shits all the time. Everyone's saying it.

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 22 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

We all know it's actually just him being a petty little bitch over European countries not getting on board his train wreck of a war.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 9 points 11 hours ago

And that he's not complying with the trade deal.

Maybe BMW can announce a layoff, due to tariffs, of 11k jobs in South Carolina. Then VW can layoff 48k in Tennessee, and Mercedes with 6k in Alabama. Then those Southern states can see how horrible their choice of President was for their state...Ha! Who am I kidding, they will follow him into hell and blame Biden.

Cars made in those plants aren't subject to tariffs. It'd be incredibly stupid to do that.

[–] logi@piefed.world 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

It'd be incredibly stupid to do that.

I don't see how that argument is relevant?

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

It'd be stupid for the companies themselves to sell less vehicles in a capitalist system.

[–] Sludgehammer@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

What's that? US auto prices are going to go up by 25%?

[–] BC_viper@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

Eat fuck trump. I cant wait until you die.

[–] finallymadeanaccount@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

Fuck, he's stupid.
