I don't underestimate that moment.
That's the president saying the Supreme Court told me to do this and I am doing it.
That was a really good moment.
Good point.
No, no.
But the other big effect here, to my mind, even bigger than the economic impact of the tariffs, is the impact on Trump's foreign policy.
Because this IEPA tariff authority, the way that he presented it, really gave him this cudgel that he could wield at will against other countries for pretty much any reason.
And he used it for any reason.
He used it to threaten Brazil over their treatment of Bolsonaro, the would-be dictator.
He used it to try to preserve the supremacy of the dollar.
He used it to demand foreign policy concessions on every continent.
And he doesn't have it anymore.
And these other authorities under which he's now imposing tariffs are nowhere near as broad.
So the law he's now using to impose tariffs, to patch the hole created by the Supreme Court ruling, limits the maximum tariff to 15%.
He's already raised it to 15%.
There's nowhere to go from there.
He can't go to any of these countries and say, we're going to 20.
The law says explicitly that 15 is the cap.
So he's really lost one of his favorite tools for trying to put pressure on other countries.
You can almost hear the court saying, hey, Congress, can we have a little help here?
