Sure.
And that is the Supreme Court stepped up and actually applied the law.
They said it's clear, both under the Constitution and then under the statutes, that Donald Trump did not have the authority to engage in all of these random tariffs that he put in place.
they were illegal.
I mean, it was just, there wasn't any room for doubt in that.
And that was a 6-3 opinion.
So, yes, the Supreme Court got it right.
And then, Donald Trump, President of the United States, instead of saying, okay, I'm not supposed to take money from the American people that way, turned around and said, he's just going to find another way to steal the same kind of money from the American people going forward.
You know, it's
One more day in the Donald Trump presidency of chaos and of putting Donald Trump first instead of the American people.
All right.
So he's going to try to put a tariff in place under a different statutory authority.
Only there's a reason he didn't start out with these other laws.
In this particular case, it's because it's capped at 10 percent.
And it's also because it only lasts for a limited period of time.
It's going to have constraints on it.
He's actually going to have to prove things before he can keep these tariffs in place.
But what he loses is the ability to say, I don't like you, therefore the tariff is up.
I do like you, therefore the tariff is down.
And that's what Donald Trump has loved about this, this kind of shoot from the hip.
