This.  The same SC that said Biden didn't have the authority to forgive student loans will say Trump has 100% authority to do whatever he wants.  They've already done this on other issues.

Yea why does anyone think this matters? Everything he does is illegal. He just says “make me” and then continues.

The NYT alert I just got says they can remain in place, despite being illegal. Because we live in fucking loony toons land.

And now we know the real reason the National Guard is already deployed in DC, and about to occupy major cities.

Love that the Admin's argument is going to be that if SCOTUS eliminates the tariffs, it will cost the US govt billions and billions to refund the tariff money. Yeah, MF. that's what happens when you enact an illegal tax/tariff knowing that it is most likely illegal. The refund amount isn't the problem of the courts.

The United States will impose a 100 per cent tariff on imports of branded or patented pharmaceutical products from October 1, unless a pharmaceutical company is building a manufacturing plant in the US, President Donald Trump said on Thursday.

"There will, therefore, be no Tariff on these pharmaceutical products if construction has started," Trump said on Truth Social.

Pharmaceutical drugs imported to the US were already slapped with a 25 per cent tariff in May.

The US president said the new tariff on any branded or patented pharmaceutical product would apply to all imports unless the company had already broken ground on a manufacturing plant in the United States.

In July, Mr Trump threatened to hit drug manufacturers with a tariff as high as 200 per cent if they did not move manufacturing to the US.

I remember when several polls came out  during the Biden administration that most Americans thought it was wrong to use the justice department to go after political foes. Wonder what that same poll would say now.

Jore called this feeling of concern for the wellbeing of the agricultural economy “deja vu.” 

 

During Trump’s first administration, U.S. farmers lost $27 billion in agricultural exports between mid-2018 and 2019 as a result of a trade war with China, according to a 2022 report from the USDA. During that same period, the U.S. market share of Chinese soybean imports plummeted to a 30-year low of 19%, the ASA reported. Brazil’s market share reached its peak of 75%. Years later, U.S. soybean farmers have yet to fully recover, Todd Main, the director of market development at the Illinois Soybean Association, told Fortune.

 

“The takeaway that we have from the data of the last time we did this is that the U.S. lost about 20% of our market share, and it never came back,” Main said.
