We’re very much heading for Democrat’s “Green Utopia” the next time they take office if the SCOTUS refuses to strike this down

The SCOTUS needs to answer for their f-up allowing tariff revenue to be collected while this case played out in court, given the potential economic impacts

He’s run so far left economically, and it’s clearly not working. While the right complains about New York City electing a socialist, just look at the GOP’s own leadership. Trump has been one of the most economically left-leaning presidents in history — from wealth redistribution through direct cash handouts and massive deficit expansion, $1T per year in new taxes on goods and raw materials via his tariff agenda, the government taking ownership stakes in major corporations, pursuing an extremely protectionist / anti-free market trade agenda, and pressuring the Fed to keep rates artificially low. It’s remarkable how closely this mirrors aspects of modern monetary theory, where fiscal restraint is effectively abandoned in pursuit of short-term political or populist goals.

His American first strategy is tariff handouts to the poor haha. We are in trouble

I still have no idea how the current Republican coalition holds together. In many ways, Trump has been one of the most economically left-leaning presidents we’ve ever had — from wealth redistribution via cash handouts and massive deficit expansion, to the government taking ownership stakes in major corporations, pursuing an extremely protectionist trade agenda and pushing high inflationary agenda / exerting pressure on the Fed to push rates down. It’s remarkable how closely this mirrors aspects of modern monetary theory, where fiscal restraint is largely abandoned in favor of short-term political or populist goals.

This is what happens when you mix sports with politics. It’s stupid the Commanders and the NFL allowed this to happen and the admin agreed to do this, especially in the most Democratic metro in the country

What is the constitutional argument that they shouldnt be legal?

Different type of redistribution. Mamdani and communists want to tax high-income individuals and give to low-income individuals, which is a zero sum game.

How is taxing major corporations (owned by high-income individuals who are entitled to the income produce by the entity) and then redistributing that money to poor people any different

Is this ruling coming soon or are we waiting until next summer? I would think and hope it is imminent.

I feel like current justices have to know how they are going to rule. I don’t know what is going to change at this point

quote:

The prior USSC ruling on nationwide injunctions and the one about the IEEPA You can't infer that their ruling about injunctions (which permitted the collection of the tariffs) somehow indicates how they will rule on the IEEPA case.

So hypothetically, under this injunction ruling, if the Trump administration decided to take $1 trillion in tariff revenue and send checks to Americans, and then a taxpayer or deficit watchdog group sued, arguing it was unconstitutional — the administration could still issue the checks while the case worked its way through the courts, and if the Supreme Court later ruled against them, everyone would theoretically have to return the money?

Hasn’t he totally decimated the meatpacking workforce due to his policies on deportations and immigration?
