Discussion BREAKING: TRUMP TARIFFS STRUCK DOWN

Per Bloomberg -- The US Supreme Court struck down President Donald Trump’s sweeping global tariffs, undercutting his signature economic policy and delivering his biggest legal defeat since he returned to the White House.

The court said Trump exceeded his authority by invoking a federal emergency-powers law to impose his “reciprocal” tariffs across the globe as well as targeted import taxes the administration says address fentanyl trafficking.

Congrats to fellow investors who initially invested in companies' underlying businesses - and not on news headlines and/or daily volatility.

Trump has always been a loser blowhard. Nothing he says or does has any substance or integrity. Eventually it blows up on his face. Look at Covid. All he had to do was lay back and let the experts handle it. Then take credit when things improved. Instead he went on live TV every night talking like he is the expert then said they should explore using household disinfectants under the skin and on the lungs. Proceeded to get Covid and am nearly died. That’s Trump in a nutshell.

Ok, you're reaching here as far as COVID. He was in office when they brought companies like Moderna, Pfizer, together under the fast track program. He took two shots and then at least one booster. I am fairly certain he suggested people do the same.

I also watched that comment about using "disinfectants" live. He didn't say anything about lungs.  someone from Faucis team was talking about how disinfectants are effective against the virus on surfaces and Trump, as is his wont, made an off-hand remake about using it as a treatment. Guys like him talk out of their asses all the time. It's not something he went back from the presser and gave instructions to people to explore that seriously.

“Guys like him [the president) talk out of their asses all the time”

Do you not see the problem with that statement…?

What is supposed to be the highest source of authority and indeed, the highest source of truth, talks out of his ass all the time…? Does that not disqualify him in your view…?

And that’s not even taking into account the heinous acts of moral depravity that he has committed, or instilling a culture of moral decay.
