Yeah shock that Trumps lapdogs didnt cave as they always do even though the three who did are the absolute most partisan clowns on the bench. It goes to show that Trump tried to manipulate a 50 year old loophole that no other president had used which had absolutely ZERO validity to it because he knows congress will not agree to his thug zero ego manipulation schemes.
But there is a global emergency because Trump says there is one!
US commerce department reveals record trade deficits in 2025 despite Trump tariffs. Reckless for Trump to impose illegal tariffs and promise they would reduce budget deficits and pay $2000 dividend to each American. International monetary fund says US economy should be stronger without Trump tariffs and mass deportation of immigrants.
Thousands of importers can now begin applying for refunds worth billions of dollars from Trump illegal tariffs. Refund process is likely to be a mess. Companies are not illegally obligated to refund customers to compensate for higher prices. US economic growth is harmed because 90% of the burden hit consumers and businesses. Loss of tariff revenue worsens government deficits and debt. No way tariffs can replace income tax in efficiently generating revenue. Other Trump tariffs could also be challenged in court.
Right, crickets from the TNC crowd about how this stupid scam worked out. Same goes for the DOGE idiocy and most any other action Trump has taken. The consumer got screwed on this and what is worse is that prices once elevated are slow to come back if they do at all.
I guess I wont be getting MY tariff check as promised either..
Yep. If not grifting then openly STEALING from Americans.
Trump administration threatens new tariffs based on forced labor. Oddly, countries with strong labor laws are also punished. For examples, Canada, Australia, United kingdom and European union. However among developed countries, US ranks as the worst in workers rights. Problem is Trump administration is trying to replace less income taxes with more tariffs to shift tax burden away from the rich. No way tariffs are fairer or more effective in generating revenue for government.
Depends on the specific tariff. The administration has discussed tariffs for several reasons, including trade imbalances, protecting domestic manufacturing, national security, and concerns about unfair trade practices. So, this could be seen as oversimplification.
Supporters of tariffs would argue that tariffs are often aimed at trade policy or economic leverage, not as a direct scorecard of labor rights.
Too absolute to say the USA ranks as the worst. Depends on the metric and source. Even then it would be better to simply say they rank near the bottom in whichever.
'Shifting the burden' is political interpretation instead of established fact.
Many economists will disagree about the fairness and generating income as well. The obvious counter is the historical evidence.
The argument can be about efficiency and how equitable, not about whether they can generate revenue.
'Worst' and 'no way' are too absolute and make the claims too difficult to prove.
My second hand embarrassment is embarrassed
Hypocritical for Trump administration to introduce tariffs based on forced labor while easing enforcement of Biden's anti-forced labor policies. New tariffs have nothing to do with forced labor and everything to do with Trump seeking advantage in trade negotiations. But unlike previous tariffs struck down in court, new tariffs require public consultation with growing opposition expected.
Please guys make this happen that would be such a funny troll

MSNBC reports no coincidence that US job market bounced back after supreme court struck down Trump illegal tariffs. He inherited a strong economy from Biden administration. US economy could be better if not for Trump bad policies. Polls show most Americans disapprove of his handling of economy.

is threatening to increase tariffs on Canada because lightning has caused hundreds of fires over there.
" On Friday, Canada's fire authority had reported 70 new fires by the evening, bringing the number of active fires in Canada to more than 900. There have been an average of 55 new fires per day since the start of July, including 113 on the first day of the month. "
Tariffs are a Tool in the Tool Box, they should be a good thing but Trump is an idiot & a Traitor!
The US Economy has been terrible since the 1960s.
The US Dollar is the World’s Global Reserve Currency & that’s the Primary reason it’s so expensive to Manufacture inside the USA. Corrupt USA Oligarchs & Corrupt Governments =local, state, & federal are other reasons. Incompetent people & corrupt colleges who validate obvious destructive economic policies are other reasons.
But being the Gloabl Reserve Currency is the driving force that creates expensive exports!
USA absolutely needs to dump being the Global Reserve Currency for the Good of the American people! But the Oligarchs want the Power! China doesn’t want to be the Global Currency because the People will end up overthrowing the CCP. EU wants the Euro to become the Global Reserve Currency because they don’t care about their people & want to cull as many as possible.
Wake up peeps!
People around the world is willing to buy and trade stuff for the money you can print 24/7 - with the only component being paper and some ink - and that is what you went for as a reason for your downfall 
- you dont limit the control/influence money can buy and you don’t tax wealthy people enough - those are the two only reasons for your economic downfall
@fubah2 "smoke from wildfires"
Global warming increases risk of more wildfires in US and Canada despite billions spend on fire prevention. To adapt, solution should be both countries working more together to help fight fires spreading. Not higher tariffs paid by Americans which would do nothing to stop fires.
@thirdperson
Fires are important to the environment we need them! The Earth has been warming since the Ice Age. Man made global warming is mostly a hoax & a moving target it was created by the club of Rome = Oligarchs they’re using it to enslave humanity in the 1950s they said man was causing an ICE Age. Taxing Citizens to clean up the dead trees in the forest & cull certain trees is a legitimate tax as long as All of the tax money used for it.
However Man Made Pollution is real!
@FresnoHawk68 "global warming"
Over 99% of climate scientists accept that current global warming is caused by burning of fossil fuels because of scientific evidences. Unlike natural warming, current warming is happening in decades instead of thousands of years. Most plausible explanation is increase in greenhouse gases trapping heat. Not sun, volcano, orbit or natural cycle.
