The Supreme Court just struck down tariffs based on the IEEPA law, that has been abused by past presidents, especially Obama. [See post #1- Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirms tariffs remain in place]

I keep telling people that everything has changed and nothing can stop what’s coming.

The Supreme Court just “helped” Trump and most people can’t see it.

They struck down tariffs based on the IEEPA law, that has been abused by past presidents, especially Obama, as I just laid out in a two part thread.

That law is so broad, that it actually endangers America, when used by a corrupt president like Obama.

And this ruling did nothing to stop Trump from imposing tariffs.

Trump immediately declared that he would restore the tariffs struck down because of the IEEPA law.

How?

NATIONAL SECURITY.

And here’s what most people are missing in this Supreme Court decision.

The Supreme Court did not give a remedy.
They didn’t demand that the tariffs be given back or how.

Why?

I would argue that they knew what was coming.
The Supreme Court did not throw out the tariffs that Trump placed on countries because of “national security.”

Why?

The Constitution gives the president “plenary power” over “national security.”

The Supreme Court knew that was coming.

They literally DISTINGUISHED what tariffs are legal and what tariffs aren’t.

That’s a great PRECEDENT for the future.
Clear law instead of purposely ambiguous law, that allows for future abuse.

Trump just exposed the corrupt IEEPA law in order to set the table to get rid of it.

And trust me.
Go read my 2 Part 🧵 on this Supreme Court decision.
Obama and Brennan just s*** a brick.

Fantasy world. Tariff leverage is gone. All alternatives will be challenged and given the compromised judicial branch, likely, overturned again. No country will take the tariff threat seriously again.

You are blind to what just happened. The Supreme Court struck down specific tariffs that were based on the IEEPA law and left in place ALL the tariffs that Trump placed on countries because of “national security.” So what does Trump do? He immediately goes out and restores the same tariffs by declaring “national security.” Nothing has changed. The tariffs still apply and now there is legal clarification. The president has “plenary power” under the Constitution, when it comes to “national security.” Checkmate! It was the perfect boomerang!😆😆

I’ve been telling people it’s in the plan. Trump wanted to lose this case.When he said it was important and he was considering attending the hearings, something no president has ever done, that was a noble lie.
