Have we ever had a more completely useless Speaker of the House?

During Trump's rambling State of the Union address this Tuesday, he went after the Supreme Court for daring to strike down his illegal emergency tariffs, and as John asked when the ruling first came out, "Which underhanded measure will the Trump administration try next?"

Well, we've been getting an answer to that question with Trump asserting he's got the authority to continue them under Section 122, Section 232, Section 301 and Section 338, but as many have explained, those laws are not so cut and dried as Trump is claiming, and he will eventually need Congressional approval to enact most of what he's been trying to do.

That didn't stop Trump from completely ignoring what the Supreme Court said in their majority ruling, and attacking the ones that attended to their faces, with the cameras panning in on Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett, who both looked like they'd rather be anywhere else as Trump lied about their decision, and spineless Speaker Mike Johnson from standing up and applauding after Trump finished his tirade lying that he didn't need their approval to continue unilaterally imposing tariffs.

Trump rambled on about the Dow going above 50,000 and crediting his tariffs for that happening, and rambled on about how great of a deal maker he supposedly was and lying that there's no inflation and then said this nonsense which was followed by Johnson and every Republican in the House jumping up and applauding like a bunch of trained seals.

TRUMP: And the big story was how Donald Trump called the economy correctly, and 22 Nobel Prize winners in economics didn't. They got it totally wrong. They got it really wrong.

And then just four days ago, an unfortunate ruling from the United States Supreme Court. It just came down. It came down. Very unfortunate ruling.

But the good news is that almost all countries and corporations want to keep the deal that they already made. Right, Scott?

Knowing that the legal power that I, as president, have to make a new deal could be far worse for them, and therefore they will continue to work along the same successful path that we had negotiated before the Supreme Court's unfortunate involvement.

So despite the disappointing ruling, these powerful country saving, it's saving our country the kind of money we're taking in, peace protecting, many of the wars I settled was because of the threat of tariffs.

I wouldn't have been able to settle them without. We remain in place under fully approved and tested alternative legal statutes. And they have been tested for a long time. They're a little more complex, but they're actually probably better, leading to a solution that will be even stronger than before.

Congressional action will not be necessary. It's already time-tested and approved. And as time goes by, I believe the tariffs paid for by foreign countries will, like in the past, substantially replace the modern-day system of income tax, taking a great financial burden off the people that I love.

Shame on all of them. History will judge them all harshly once we're finally finished with this nightmare.
