Gee, what a shock: Trump's tariffs are illegal, and he decides to impose a new one, anyway!

 "Dumb Donald is really dumb!!"--Gene Rayburn, Match Game, 1973-84.

We say that because the president thinks the Supreme Court works for him. They don't. They never did. Just because he appointed 1/3 of the current justices during his first term doesn't mean they are loyal to him.

Proof of this came today when Chief Justice John Roberts issued a ruling stating that the tariffs that Trump had imposed on other countries since returning to office 13 months ago are, in fact, illegal. Those tariffs are a big reason why our economy is in shambles right now, contrary to the misadministration's constant lies to the contrary.

Following is a report from MS Now:


A 6-3 ruling, with the three justices Trump appointed dissenting, shuts down those tariffs. However, defiant as ever, Trump would later announce that he was imposing a "temporary" 10% tariff. Look for that to get shut down, too.


"WAAAHH! I am helping this country! WAAAAH!"

No, you're not, bunky. You whined that you're disappointed with today's ruling. Tough. Deal with it, Orange Narcissus.

Update, 6:10 pm (ET): VP Just Dumb Vance doubled down on Trump's whining. Both insist Trump doesn't need Congressional approval, but as the SCOTUS made clear earlier, he does.
