Revealing far too much about his level of governing acumen, convicted felon President Trump on Sunday posted “If the Courts somehow rule against us on Tariffs, which is not expected, that would allow other Countries to hold our Nation hostage with their anti-American Tariffs that they would use against us. This would mean the Economic ruination of the United States of America!”
Extrapolate this for a second: Say Cuba fired a volley of missiles at Key West, killing hundreds of Americans. There’s no active AUMF against Cuba so – just as a thought experiment – suppose that Trump would abide by the absence of one and have to go to Congress and request it to retaliate.
Does anyone seriously believe that Congress would turn him down? Is he really this fucking daft that if the Supreme Court says Congress has to authorize (most of) his tariffs, that they would not actually go along with it if foreign markets started their own moronic “Liberation Day” trade wars?
Holy shit this is a really fucking stupid way to try to sell his position on tariff authority.
