This is like the bridge too far for the Supreme Court.
But yeah, I mean, he's like, well, you know, the dissent that was written by Kavanaugh has a pretty clear roadmap of where I could go and take this next.
And so I'm not stopping.
There's other avenues here, which is very Trump.
He doesn't have a habit of pivoting away from the things he really cares about.
And as we mentioned, there are a few things he cares about more, especially when you're talking about the economy and foreign policy.
There are a few things he cares about more than tariffs.
I think a larger takeaway from all this is if you were hoping that there would be some clarity on all this because of a Supreme Court ruling, that is dashed hopes.
That is not happening.
Either if you're a small business that was hoping to get, you know, some of that money back, that's not clear.
What happens next in litigation and how long that's going to take, that's not clear.
What exactly the president's going to do to like...
continue his tariff policy and the other avenues that he believes he has before him.
That's a little more clear.
But the timeline of that, the effects of that also unclear.
And this is the thing that frustrates a lot of voters when they're thinking about the economy.
It is the chaos that is the point here.
The lack of of being able to plan when you're a small business or to plan if you're an individual or a consumer is the thing that frustrates voters a lot.
And there is nothing that right now seems clear.
that you can plan on, you can bank on in the next six months, which politically speaking is not good if you are a Republican who wants to run on Trump's economy come the midterms.
