Victor Schwartz, 67, became the face of the battle to strike down the president's controversial tariffs when he sued the government last April.

Schwartz has owned VOS Selections in Manhattan since 1987 and feared the tariffs would devastate his small business.

He argued that the US President lacked the authority to impose tariffs without congressional approval, becoming one of the few dissenting corporate voices to publicly oppose the fees

George Soros’ birth name is also Schwartz. What a coincidence

Good catch!!

[Skwor]

Given the tariffs are still in place this article is kind of silly.

Nothing like winning for nothing.

[existentially_kuffer]

Huh? Win a battle, lose the war?

[Skwor]

Oh and now it seems the tariff is 5% higher lol.

Trump should ban imports from any winery he is importing wine from. Better than a tariff.

I don't click on Daily Smell links. Just tell me whether or not the Smell go into whether or not the tariffs devastated his small business.

When Manhattan goes full Sharia, what’s his forbidden booze business really worth?

🤔

Is Mr Schwartz Jewish?
If so, doesn’t he have bigger worries bearing down on him?

[Texas Eagle]

Don’t bother him with details!

[Snowybear]

Anyone want to break the bad news to this guy?

-SB

[MarlonRando]

I have my suspicions, yes.

[tips up]

Aren’t his tariffs now 5% higher? Some win...

[Empire_of_Liberty]

I get he was a known wine merchant, but do we really have fun of his size? ;-)

How does this guy even have Standing? He "feared"?

Conservatives have been getting slapped around over Standing when they sue before actual damage (that they knew was coming) - but this guy gets to the USSC?

[HYPOCRACY]

May the Schwartz be with him.

Quite.

Good questions.
