He doesn't even have a reason this time. He's just doing it to prove he can. He going to tank the economy just to spite us.
25th amendment. Now.

15% now. He obviously didn’t get enough attention at 10%
What exactly is the function of the supreme court if he just does whatever he wants? He just broke the law blatantly. 100%. What will happen to him?
Nothing. No justice. System needs to be rebuilt from the ground up.
I don't know much about American history, but tyrants raising taxes on a whim led you forefathers to action.
I just don't understand why tariffs issued by Congress isn't enough for him. Why it must be him who imposes the tariffs?
Pretty sure he's got a power kink and loves to watch others suffer.
Because it's the bully stick he gets to hit other countries with to get his way ... or just to retaliate against those who offend him.
Also because the on-again off-again arbitrary and unpredictable tariffs are a great opportunity for insider trading for those in his inner circle who are given advanced notice of his capricious changes.
Also because doing random bullshit with tariffs occupies the news cycle and helps distract from a lot of the other bullshit he's doing or has done in the past.
Congress can’t get shit done.
Just your daily reminder that the President of the United States is a deranged lunatic.
I think you mean child rapist.
Kavnaugh's dissenting opinion was pretty interesting. It essentially boiled down to 2 points:
Fixing it would be really messy
SCOTUS didn't tell them how exactly to fix it
Basically, the executive can grant itself any new authority as long as it creates a big enough mess before SCOTUS can step in. So if Trump were to declare war on Canada and launch missiles at Toronto, Kavnaugh's opinion is that the war powers act no longer applies and everything was totally legal because the situation is too messy and SCOTUS can't broker a peace deal.
Really was a fascinating opinion there because it never has come up before in any of his other rulings. Stripping away regulatory power of US Agencies created a hell of a lot of mess. Wasn't a problem then. Reversing 50 years of Roe versus Wade created a hell of a lot of mess wasn't a problem then. Funny that
So SCOTUS hands him a loss and he's deciding to punish who exactly?
At this point the republicans will impeach him before the democrat win the chamber
the three justices who dissented in the opinion – Brett Kavanaugh who wrote the main dissent, joined by Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito
Clarence Thomas should hang for treason at this point. The mother fucker literally sold his soul tot the devil for plain money.
This guy just wakes up every morning and starts vomiting shit everywhere, I swear. How does he even live with himself?
This is hysterical, he never realizes when he accidentally tells the truth.
“It’s my opinion that the court has been swayed by
foreign interests anda political movement that is far smaller than people would ever think.
This is the definition of Trumpism and the movements that created it. Way smaller than people would ever think.
I’m ashamed that someone with this little self awareness became president this far into the 21st century.
Why strikethrough foreign interest?
Trump’s family is embroiled in a $500m UAE scandal. We’ve hardly noticed
relative restraint
You get 50%, you get 75%, you get 225%...
Guy pulls numbers out of his ass for whatever dramatic effect he thinks he can make and then blames others as why the economy is in turmoil.
It will be fun to watch his tariffs shrink into nothingness.
“I wanted to be a good boy,” Trump said, describing his relative restraint
AAHahahahaaaaaaaaaahhaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Oh, what a POS.
[ Brett Kavanaugh who wrote the main dissent, joined by Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito]
These people are a disgrace to the nation. I'm absolutely ashamed of them for not being loyal to our Constitution and core values.
The others – including two of his appointees, Amy Coney Barrett and Neil Gorsuch – drew his derision.
Can't wait for his posts asking who put those people on the Supreme Court and saying what a bad and stupid person it must have been who did that.
I thought it was 15%?
Initially, he was yammering about 10%, but I think he changed it to 15% by Saturday.
Because he's such a stable genius.
Setting trade policy is really best done by just one individual, with no checks and no discussions or reflection, by blathering at press gaggles and via rants on Lie Social.
Just as the Founders intended.
