And what does Donald Trump do?
He invokes Section 122.
Trump's lesson about the Supreme Court striking down the tariffs against the world is that it took them 14 months to do it.
so all he has to do in his mind is let me find some hook that's unlawful i'm gonna do it i'll get sued then i'll appeal i'll ask for stays i'll lie to the courts about the reasons that i want these days i'll say it's okay if ultimately
we get ruled against by the Supreme Court, we'll do tariff refunds, which now they're saying they're not going to do.
So they lied to all the courts by saying they want to stay because they said they would issue refunds if they lose.
So you have nothing to worry about by issuing the stay.
That was one of the big lies that they told them.
And so Trump says, OK,
i'll just do it anyway then it'll go to the supreme court in 2027 i'll lose but then i got it for another however long now this specific statute also section 122 says that the tariffs can only remain in place for 150 days
But what's Trump going to do when 150 days are up?
He's going to go, I invoke it again rather than go to Congress.
So it doesn't apply.
It's limited to 150 days.
But Trump's very lesson from this is to double down on his crimes.
And now he's stolen hundreds of billions of dollars from the American people and refuses to return it.
But again, this is in keeping with Donald Trump's life.
you've unlawfully taxed american companies which passed it on to consumers to the tune of 200 billion dollars you have to return it give us our money back what are you doing and now they're saying they're not going to do that do we have the clip brett
of Treasury Secretary Scott Besant when he was on CNN over the weekend.
And Dana Bash, to her credit, asked the question, look, the big question that Americans want to know now that you lost is will you be doing refunds?
