The Supreme Court on Friday ruled that President Donald Trump violated federal law when he unilaterally imposed sweeping tariffs across the globe, a striking loss for the White House on an issue that has been central to the president’s foreign policy and economic agenda.

    So let me get this straight, the companies that raised their prices based on Trump’s tariffs get to apply for a refund with no requirement to lower prices and pass that refund on to the consumers who actually had to pony up the money at the ‘cash register’ every day. Once again, corporations get an undeserved bailout while the American consumer gets shafted. Typical.

      …and those refunds will flow through Howard Lutnick (and son’s) business.

      Just more crime. When will Americans stop bending over and taking it from these criminals?

        It was supposed to be once the bread and circuses became unaffordable, but we’re all so overworked that we don’t have the energy to punch up.

      Even better than that is all the shit that he implemented claiming that the tarrifs would pay for them aren’t going anywhere
