Live updates: Trump announces sweeping tariffs
-
I don't have a ton of "the court is wrong" opinions, but Article 1 section 8 of the Constitution flatly gives Congress the responsibility of regulating trade and imposing tariffs. The President just doesn't (shouldn't) have the authority to change rates. The executive needs to execute the will of the Legislative branch.

Wait what?
President Paul Kagame of Rwanda declared war on Uganda?
~/s~
-
Pls 100% world wide tax.
I like to go straight to the "Find Out" phase.
(Remember, when the great depression happens, its our duty to eliminate nazis)
-
Well well well, we finally fell off the cliff, didn't we?
Starting a trade war with the entire world, easy to win, right?
If the entire world reciprocates, which they will, you will literally wish you had just a recession to worry about. I wonder how Trump's approval ratings will be about a month from now
-
Well technically R would fall under the category "rest of the world", no?
-
Absolutely, just like Hitler was the most influential German leader ever
-
, at least like put any effort forth if you're going to steal a joke and make it shittier. -
Russia is missing from the chart:
Overview In January 2025, United States exported $34.9M and imported $196M from Russia, resulting in a negative trade balance of $161M.
-
The goal is to start a fire and to attend the fire sale.
-
Trump doesn't care about approval ratings. He has a "golden parachute" waiting for him and his buddies in Russia after he destroys America.
-
Curious that Russia is missing
-
This is really not true. The wealthy aren't playing 4D chess with the economy, they are just as short-sighted behind closed doors. The Great Depression fucked a lot of wealthy people up and turned the entire nation against them. It can happen again.

I knew I’d get the ol’ switch-a-roo comments. Please enjoy one internet point sir.
-
I see we have a dirty tankie in our midst.
-
Lol, didn't even click the links, I kinda assumed it was Russia-Ukraine and just googled "countries that start with R"
-
Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if Russia was it's own case, comrade Krasnov will make sure of it
-
Is he acting salty about the Vietnam war or what?
-
I don't think these are reciprocal. I think these are unilateral, and when countries respond, their tariffs will be reciprocal. The distinction is very important. This is a problem created by Trump, not by other countries. You don't get to choose false language to describe it that shifts the blame.
