What triggered Donald Trump's psychotic meltdown?
Donald Trump was having the worst meltdown of his entire life. Last night and throughout the day, he was posting messages like this, keep calm and tariff on. Then he posted an image of himself looking like the penguin holding an umbrella, saying President Trump will always put America first, American prosperity first. Then he posted whatever the hell this is right here. I'm not even going to read it. But it's something about our country is the hottest and he loves tariffs and everything's so unfair and he just wants to whine all day. And then Donald Trump announced yesterday that he was going to impose new tariffs after the Supreme Court struck down his tariffs against the world. He's invoking Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974.
He's invoking it unlawfully to now impose 10% tariffs on every single country in the world. After the Supreme Court struck down the tariffs he imposed under AIPA, he says, well, I'm going to do another section. Well, Section 122 would also be invoked unlawfully, as Brian Reilly explained. It only authorizes tariffs in the presence of a fundamental international payments problem. And because the United States doesn't face such a payments problems, it cannot be legally used to impose new tariffs. Yet another unlawful mechanism by Donald Trump. Also, Donald Trump tried to impose or he did impose a revocation of the de minimis tariff exemption. So any of the products that you buy that are $800 or less are not subject to tariffs.
Not anymore, because Donald Trump wants to impose a tariff regime on that. So this is the way Donald Trump is trying to get back at the Supreme Court for striking down his tariffs against the world by invoking Section 122 and removing the exemption for de minimis tariffs. Really? This is your response to everything? Oh, and by the way, that Section 122 10% tariffs, even though it's also unlawful, it expires by law after 150 days as well. And so while Donald Trump's doing all of that, while he was humiliated by the supreme court for violating the law he also directs his fcc chair brendan carr to demand that network television institute a pledge america campaign the fcc has launched a pledge america campaign as we celebrate the country its 250th birthday
Broadcasters are well suited to air patriotic pro-America programming in honor of the nation's historic milestone. The effort can emphasize programming that promotes civic education, national pride, and our shared history. And he wants broadcasters to start each broadcast with the Star Spangled Banner or the Pledge of Allegiance. He wants them to run segments that promotes civic education, inspiring local stories in American history, and to air music by some of America's most celebrated composers and provide daily Today in America History. Can y'all just be freaking normal here for a moment? What are you doing? You realize that Americans are psychologically tortured, living paycheck to paycheck if they're lucky enough to get a paycheck.
Y'all are ripping away people's health care from them. People are just hoping they can make it past this next year or so without needing to go to a doctor visit. People are having zero educational opportunities. They can't afford homes. And this is the type of crap that you're doing. And then when people see a little bit of relief, a little bit of relief,
How are Trump's new tariffs being implemented unlawfully?
After the Supreme Court strikes down Donald Trump's tariffs against the world, he makes a social media post saying, as he posts photos of himself looking like the penguin from the Batman movie, he goes, it's my great honor to have just signed from the Oval Office a global 10% tariff on all countries, which will be effective almost immediately. Why would you do that? other than cruel and unusually trying to punish the people. No wonder the Midas Touch Network boycott of Donald Trump's State of the Union continues to grow. We now have over 20 senators and members of Congress who are joining. By the way, Aaron Parnas will be joining Katie Fang and Joy Reed as our hosts. Just take a look at the list here.
