Well, this is one more example of the corruption of the Trump administration and the impact it has and how it filters all the way through the system.

So you've identified some of the big places where you can see it, where Trump makes himself out to be this big guy.

He doesn't like, you know, how somebody talks to him on the phone, so he raises the tariff.

But the word that starts to drift around Washington is for foreign countries.

If you're really worried about your tariff rate, if you're really worried that one of your local industries is going to collapse because Donald Trump is going to smack you with a 50 percent tariff,

You got to know the right person in Washington.

You got to know the right person and you got to be friendly to the right person.

You got to be friendly in ways that help the right person.

All of this is like a mafia shakedown.

You know, where are favors being traded?

Where is money changing hands?

Donald Trump is certainly not investigating that.

He's the one who's helping it set it up.

Where is the Department of Justice on this?

They're not around.

They're not there to try to make sure that we have a country where decisions are made not to try to help the guy at the top or help the intermediaries who grease the skids for the guys at the top,

We are supposed to be a country where the decisions are made at least as best we can to benefit the American people.

But, boy, not in the Trump administration.

And the Supreme Court has just said today that Donald Trump doesn't get to use tariffs.

to enrich himself, to play favorites all around the world, that that is illegal, and that he has stolen that money from the American people.
