I can't believe the world's financial markets are the plaything of a single narcissistic fuck head and his egotistical desires.

Trump is history as the dumbest political leader of all time.

unfortunate we are seeing congress has little check and balance to this type of action apparently

thought they controlled the purse strings

usually secretary of commerce is a meaningless role

and yet now we see a couple shameless boneheads (one of which is long bonds by profession) can destroy 75 years of work in a matter of a week

They are fully empowered to stop this at any time. If you’ve ever wondered exactly how scared they are of MAGA anger…the answer is evident.

The New Civil Liberties Alliance, a law firm that fights federal overreach, filed a complaint Thursday in Florida federal court on behalf of north Florida paper company Simplified and its owner Emily Ley to stop Trump’s 20 percent tariffs on all Chinese imports under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.

“The President purported to order these tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 (‘IEEPA’), but that is a statute that authorizes presidents to order sanctions as a rapid response to international emergencies,” the lawsuit asserts.

“It does not allow a president to impose tariffs on the American people. President Trump’s Executive Orders imposing a China tariff are, therefore, ultra vires and unconstitutional. This Court should enjoin their implementation and enforcement.”
