Predictably, Donald J. Trump is having a meltdown after an appeals court ruled on Friday that most of his tariff tantrums are illegal, and Crybaby Pee Pants is not happy. Even though Trump was not seen by the White House press pool yesterday or today, he is in full rage-machine mode on Truth Social. So, he's still alive. Get your mind out of the gutter, where mine is, hoping that his janky-ass, bruised hands are a sign of rigor mortis.
As Paul Krugman explains, "The court didn’t say that tariffs per se are illegal. It said that the procedure Trump used to impose tariffs — declaring an economic emergency, then setting tariff rates without so much as consulting Congress, let alone passing legislation — is illegal," and we kind of knew that already, but Trump doesn't understand rules because he's a whiny little titty baby that has never grown up.
To Trump, the appeals court committed lèse-majesté, as he claims, "ALL TARIFFS ARE STILL IN EFFECT!"
"Today a Highly Partisan Appeals Court incorrectly said that our Tariffs should be removed, but they know the United States of America will win in the end," he continued. "If these Tariffs ever went away, it would be a total disaster for the Country. It would make us financially weak, and we have to be strong."
"The U.S.A. will no longer tolerate enormous Trade Deficits and unfair Tariffs and Non Tariff Trade Barriers imposed by other Countries, friend or foe, that undermine our Manufacturers, Farmers, and everyone else," he scribbled. "If allowed to stand, this Decision would literally destroy the United States of America. At the start of this Labor Day weekend, we should all remember that TARIFFS are the best tool to help our Workers, and support Companies that produce great MADE IN AMERICA products."
"For many years, Tariffs were allowed to be used against us by our uncaring and unwise Politicians," he added. "Now, with the help of the United States Supreme Court, we will use them to the benefit of our Nation, and Make America Rich, Strong, and Powerful Again! Thank you for your attention to this matter."
You're welcome for our attention to this matter, you mentally unbalanced pillow-biter. He should get comfort from his loving and devoted wife, unless she's still busy not living with him, and still shacking up with the head of security at Tiffany's (allegedly!)
