One interesting thing about Trump randomly imposing tariffs on every country on earth for any reason or no reason is that it is illegal
HAPPENING NOW: Appeals court judges raise immediate skepticism about whether President Trump had the power to impose sweeping and broad-based tariffs under his emergency powers.

This case should be getting more attention. Remember that Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs were declared illegal by the U.S. Court of Trade. The Federal Circuit Court stayed the mandate until it could fully hear the case.
So much tariff talk - but lost in the sauce is their illegality.

I want to be very clear about what’s happening: Senate Republicans know the parliamentarian will say they can’t use 312 to pretend tax cuts are free (because two have two Byrd rule problems).
