Just listen to the way he talked about using tariffs against the nation of Switzerland.

OK.

First off, when Trump says the prime minister of Switzerland, he's probably referring to the former president of Switzerland, Karen Keller Sutter, who you can see right there.

But the point here is that Trump claims he raised tariffs on Switzerland by 9 percent simply because he did not like the president's tone.

It didn't matter that it would be regular Americans and Swiss citizens who would suffer as a result of those tariffs.

All that mattered was Trump's ego.

And even this conservative majority Supreme Court could not deny that there's no rationale or constitutional basis for letting a president create that kind of pain for his own personal vanity.

I mean, Trump repeatedly claimed that his tariff policy was about helping American workers.

At one point, he even promised to send every American a rebate check from all the money the US was taking in from the tariffs.

But this was never actually about helping regular people, to state the obvious, which is why even after the Supreme Court declared these tariffs illegal and paved the way for repaying the people who were hurt by them, the Trump administration suddenly has no interest in helping regular people.

I mean, here was Trump's very in touch Treasury Secretary on that particular subject just today.

I mean, he sounded almost gleeful there.

Trump doesn't want to help people with his tariffs.

Neither does anybody who works for him.

He wants power.

He wants to act like a king, which is why tonight he signed a new executive order that will impose new 10% tariffs on all countries under a different statute.

Now, those new tariffs are also likely to be challenged, and the statute he's using only allows those tariffs to be in place for 150 days before Congress would have to make them permanent.

And for those of you who don't have calculators in front of you right now, 150 days from now is August, which is right before the midterm elections.

So there's that.

But the point here is that he won't give up on this.
