Are Trump's lawyers just not good?

Put down the peace pipe

How the hell do they tell him it's OK for tariff's and now (it looks like) we will end up paying back that money, some that has been used to support programs in this “”shutdown?

---

“Yes Mr. Trump, of course you can do that. Thank you sir, may I have another?”

He surrounds himself with “yes men.”

Always has.

Not the best way to get good, objective counsel.

Edit: outdated info

I’m pretty sure it’s just you.

No he hasn't. In fact, the opposite. He has always intentionally surrounded himself with people who don't agree throughout his professional career.

His whole schtick is to be max aggro legally and he has a lot of people who aren't as clever as they envision themselves who propose "creative" legal arguments.

His admin fumbled easy shite out of the gate in admin 1. I thought this time would be different but it's been somewhat of the same thing.

I will say some of this though is fighting established precedent. His birthright citizenship move and other actions trying to change the relationship between the Executive branch and the rest of the federal government started as uphill battles b/c he's trying to have the USSC reverse precedent or carve out major exceptions that effectively neuter precedent. You cant' be critical of those Ls until the Supreme Court.

And what leads you to think we will be paying back that money?

---

Trump's own justice department

quote:

---

Trump’s Justice Department has acknowledged in legal briefs released in recent months that if the tariffs are ruled unlawful, importers would likely be entitled to refunds, which Customs and Border Protection would likely process through standard administrative procedures.

---

ETA: super weird that they'd say that importers are owed refunds. I thought foreign countries were paying tariffs this whole time. Silly me

quote:

---

If the tariffs are ruled illegal, how can we keep that money, legally?

---

I get that... but I guess what I meant to ask was... what leads him to think "it looks like". What looks like? His feelings? The fact that questions were asked? What? What leads him to think "it looks like".

How the frick are tariffs unlawful when other countries tariff the fuc out of us ? GTFO with this bs

Naaah his lawyers fricking suck. They all need to be fired. They were terrible at keeping him out of prison for 724 years worth of fake hoax cases - they have been terrible at winning 34-36 cases so far this year brought on by fake activist judges - they all need to be fired because they are just not good
