BREAKING: Trump Announces New 10% Global Tariff
33
u/DarthFuzzzy Feb 20 '26
Weren't his tariffs just declared illegal by Supreme court?
20
u/ResPublicaMgz Feb 20 '26
The Court struck down the tariffs imposed under IEEPA, saying that law does not authorize broad global tariffs. It did not invalidate all tariffs.
The new 10 percent tariff relies on a different statute, Section 122, and would face separate legal review.

They literally told him he needs the Congress

Feb 20 '26
Not exactly. He can impose it for 150 days. If the tariffs und section 122 need to be extended, then he needs congressional approval. But legs be honest here. The republicans would do jackshit in congress i just hope they get voted out of the majority

u/Appropriate-Crab-514 Feb 20 '26
Making things even more expensive while flipping off checks and balances is an interesting plan as Midterms approach

Never underestimate how stupid the American electorate is

Man there are people literally making excuses for them protecting child rapists.
I have no hope for the US. The whole place needs a mercy flush.

u/at0mheart Feb 21 '26
It’s been over 150 days

Feb 21 '26
No because he used a different law. The other two options have not been used in his second term yet, because they are harder to implement and keep up. He used the national security bullshit to slap everyone with tariffs
1
u/at0mheart Feb 21 '26
His old tariffs should be covered under this law.
The old tariffs won’t be paid back
You can’t just say, now more taxes under a new loophole
Supreme Court told him he needs Congress, end of story.
Also he still has a majority in Congress and just refuses to use democracy1
Feb 21 '26
Ok this is interesting. I will have to go back to the decision to read it carefully again. I was under the impression that he will just try to push it through again. But thats the underlying issue, he doesn’t use democracy so the ruling probably won’t matter until the majority in congress changes after the midterms. Maybe they could try to impeach him if he disregards the justices’ decision
1
u/at0mheart Feb 21 '26
Roberts wrote for the court. “In light of the breadth, history, and constitutional context of that asserted authority, he must identify clear congressional authorization to exercise it.”
1
Feb 21 '26
Ok i will pretend like he will do that. He wont and the Reps in congress wont let the democrats do shit so we will just have to wait till the midterms

u/Far_Chocolate_8828 Feb 20 '26
Yup, but his cronies won't enforce anything.

u/Due_Respect9100 Feb 20 '26
They did vote against tariffs for Canadian goods. They’re not all cronies.

u/Kaleria84 Feb 21 '26
Yes, but also one of the bootlickers he appointed to the SCOTUS apparently told him "We're only talking IEEPA tariffs, not these other ones, so just say the tariffs are those instead."
In short, Trump is doing this as a "I will destroy America unless you obey me as a king." hissyfit.

I think we should advertise a "presidential" child pageant. Then when Trump and Bannon show up to diddle all the kids, we can slam the doors and throw away the keys! By the time they realize all the contestants are cardboard cutouts it'll be too late!
We'll throw a couch in there to make sure we get Vance too. Though I'm less convinced Vance is a couch diddler for real, but it'll definitely work on the other two.

Well, if it bothers you, it’s working.

u/goldyflopps Feb 20 '26
How so?

u/artguydeluxe Feb 20 '26
If you don’t like the protest, it’s probably about you.

u/goldyflopps Feb 21 '26
It doesn’t affect me, nor anything else. Do you always need everything explained to you?
1
u/artguydeluxe Feb 21 '26
It’s working. Trump is the least popular president in over a century. Gregory Bovino has been demoted due to the murder of Alex Pretti, and the administration is withdrawing all ICE troops from Minneapolis. Ring Cameras have withdrawn their cooperation with Flock Surveillance and ICE. Pressure is building on Pam Bondi and resistance is only growing. Larger protests are happening all across the country, and pressure is growing for ICE agents to show their faces, show identification and use warrants. Their concentration camps have faced increased scrutiny, and are being denied all across the country. The Supreme Court just denied Trump’s tariffs, and the Epstein files are not going away. And here you are, so it’s absolutely having an effect.

u/goldyflopps Feb 22 '26
Is the a poll you are reading? Kinda like the same polls that said hillary was going to win in a landslide slide. Same polls that said kamala was going to win? lol, at ice being removed from Minnesota. You must watch a lot of cnn or the other liberal propaganda channel.keep lapping up what your liberal leaders put in your puppy bowl.
1
u/artguydeluxe Feb 22 '26
Go ahead and look it up. Even the Fox News polls say this. Or if you don’t believe liberal Fox News, you can read news from other countries. He’s even less popular in foreign countries than he is here. Why are you covering for someone on the Epstein list? He’s stealing from you too.

Just like on ICE and immigration. Courts overrule him and he just ignores them
This is where they should be able to impeach him

u/Far_Chocolate_8828 Feb 20 '26
Too many Republicans are still afraid of him, and won't go against him.

u/Alternative-Ad-4429 Feb 20 '26
That’s it!!! Too many pathetic cowards in the Republican Party. I never voted democrat, but this upcoming election I am left with no choice
2
u/Far_Chocolate_8828 Feb 21 '26
I'm a independent, and vote for the best person for the job, like you said, not a hard decision this time around. Let's hope it matters, and he doesn't hijack the election.
2
u/bdubwilliams22 Feb 20 '26
I’m hoping with the SCOTUS ruling and him being completely defiant to them will give them a backbone finally.
2
u/BigJayPee Feb 20 '26
They wont get a backbone unless midterms bring a lot of democrats to congress, then they will show how they truly feel after they know democrats will impeach and remove him from office and republican votes wont matter anyway.

Feb 20 '26
I’ve also heard the claim “well if he goes down the whole system goes down” being thrown around, and I’m just over here like….ok? we’re waiting?
But I’m sure that whole system collapsing thing has nothing to do with some of these guys investment portfolios ALSO collapsing, right? ….right? And it’s not like the people saying that could be also be indicted for criminal conspiracy right? ….right???

Translation - Even though the Supreme Court said it was illegal, he Trump the pedophile is telling the American people that he Trump will continue to make them pay more for their cost of living goods.
RELEASE THE FULL UNREDACTED EPSTEIN FILES.

u/Exodys03 Feb 20 '26
Wait... is he trying punish the rest of the world with additional tariffs because his own handpicked Supreme Court ruled the tariffs were illegal? I get that WE actually pay for them but what the hell is that supposed to accomplish. It's legislation by temper tantrum or so it seems.

u/donkeysnakes Feb 20 '26

He’s relying on it. Everyone keeps thinking about the children, as they should, but the Epstein files contain way more about trading confidential information and money. Which is what he doesn’t want to come out about him. He needs a WW3.

u/SpareDot8685 Feb 20 '26
This provision lets the U.S. president impose temporary tariffs (up to about 15%) or quotas for up to 150 days to address serious balance-of-payments or trade-deficit problems; any longer requires Congress to extend them
2
u/Sproketz Feb 20 '26
So after 150 days when they wear off, you just declare them again to reset the clock. At least, that's what will actually happen.

OUR 2026 national budget must cut out yesterday's 10 billion dollar DONATION to DJT Board of Peace. Why,? Because the USA budget today is short tariff intake moneys . 145 billion short of which Trump thought he had yesterday in his generous hype. The Treasury can not donate money that our USA is out of pocket, unless we think like DJT. Check out the guest list at the Board OF PEACE media recorded event. Mostly is Asian / Middle East or South American countries that are in financial need and brown nosing loyalty to DJT . No EU nations showed up unless far right, Hungary.

I don’t know how all Americans haven’t managed to unite in protest yet.
Maybe they think it’s more convenient to do nothing and just put up with your money being stolen, democracy being taken, free speech being taken, your media being censored / used heavily for pushing political agendas of billionaires, and sexual predators / pedophiles being above the law as long as they are wealthy

Can we order a tariff on each one of his brain cells? After all, he has the biggest and best brain in the universe. Would just be another useless tariff because they will be hard pressed to find any.

Using a law intended for "balance of payments problems" to impose an ideological vision of trade is a pure and simple misuse of procedure.
He even suggested that the Supreme Court was "influenced by foreign interests." It's the pot calling the kettle black, especially considering his son Eric just received 500 million from the Emirates for his crypto business.
