@law5960 He's ignored every court ruling so far, including from SCOTUS. I doubt that will change now.
I personally have whiplash from the tariff hokey pokey. Time for a grown-up in the White House. Thank God for the courts, they are making him meltdown, and he may not be able to govern much longer. I feel his departure.
@averylegacy The whiplash continues. Now the appellate court has temporarily stayed the order of the International Trade Court, making the tariffs active again. Then, a federal district court in D.C. entered an injunction against some tariffs after finding that they are probably illegal. That would stop them from being enforced EXCEPT that judge stayed his own order for two weeks so the government would have time to appeal. So, the tariffs remain in place.
I wouldn't be surprised if the appellate courts say that since the tariffs are now in place, they are the "status quo," and the status quo can be preserved by allowing them to remain in place while the legal processes play out. That could very well take us to the midterm elections.
By then, the U.S. economy is likely to be in tatters and the Democrats can blame those tariffs as well as the other things this administration will do in the meantime. If the tariffs did not remain, the administration would probably find other ways to destroy the economy and the Republicans could blame the ending of the tariffs for the economic mess. Until then, who knows what Trump's "taco" approach to tariffs will give us.
