Well, 15% is the maximum of what he can do, and so you can figure he has it in the back pocket.
He left himself a little cushion to add some more later, and I wasn't expecting him to pull the trigger as fast as he did.
I thought he'd wait a week until, in my prediction, I said, you know, Canada's going to do something to piss him off, and then he's going to do it.
But it turned out America beat Canada in the hockey game.
I thought that would be the funniest thing that could happen is if Canada beat us, and then he said, all right, here's some more tariffs for you.
But he didn't do that.
I like to hear Peter's take on that and other people, too.
I'm not a lawyer.
And, you know, there's nothing explicitly in the law that says it says you can't extend it beyond 150 without Congress's approval.
But if you let it expire and then put a new one in, surely it would get challenged.
It might lose the case, but but he could do it.
I don't know.
What do you think, Peter?
It's kind of an interesting thing here of like, you know, even with Aipa, even if you knew it was going to get thrown out and you knew you'd lose the Supreme Court case on Friday, he still got quite a lot of leverage from putting it in.
I mean, he got all kinds of countries to come and make a trade deal with him.
Most of those countries are not going to undo the duties that they – they dropped their tariff rates or lowered other barriers.
And they're not going to – they're probably not going to just turn around right now and drop it.
It's sort of interesting to think of, like, what are the rewards that Trump gets even from – effectively, what he did was break the law.
It's interesting to think about.
He has these other levers.
