Donald Trump is having a pretty bad week. The off year elections held, on Tuesday, sent a pretty strong message to Trump. Americans are not happy with the way things are going. There’s also a Republican civil war going on right now over Tucker Carlson’s interview with Nick Fuentes. That will be chirped about, tomorrow

But the culmination of this bad week could be the Supreme Court hearing yesterday on Trump’s use of emergency powers to levy tariffs on everybody, including penguins

One would expect democrat appointed judges to ask hard questions on Trump’s ability to use these powers. That did happen. But Republican appointed judges also asked difficult questions.

Neil Gorsuch, posed a hypothetical question where a president was democrat,

“Could the president impose a 50 percent tariff on gas-powered cars and autoparts to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat from abroad of climate change?” 

Amy Coney Barrett questioned why so many countries were covered under these emergency powers.

“And so is it your contention that every country needed to be tariffed because of threats to the defense and industrial base? I mean, Spain? France?” 

Trump during his election campaign, said that Americans would not pay for the tariffs being imposed. Chief justice Roberts said that the tariffs were a tax on Americans, pretty much destroying what Trump has been saying

Over $90 billion in tariffs have been collected so far in the United States. Questions were raised as to what would happen if the Supreme Court did not agree with Trump and ordered a return of the tariffs collected against importers. One judge said that a refund process would be a mess. Having worked at revenue Canada customs in a previous life, the refund process is a bureaucratic nightmare for importers.

Trump must be waking up in the morning and asking him himself what fresh hell awaits him today.

That is all I have for today.
