Well... it's Trump... again. #47, here we go.

FFS! Also clearly this isn't President Trump's work.

The Supreme Court’s Ruling on TARIFFS is deeply disappointing! I am ashamed of certain Members of the Court for not having the Courage to do what is right for our Country. I would like to thank and congratulate Justices Thomas, Alito, and Kavanaugh for your Strength, Wisdom, and Love of our Country, which is right now very proud of you. When you read the dissenting opinions, there is no way that anyone can argue against them. Foreign Countries that have been ripping us off for years are ecstatic, and dancing in the streets — But they won’t be dancing for long! The Democrats on the Court are thrilled, but they will automatically vote “NO” against ANYTHING that makes America Strong and Healthy Again. They, also, are a Disgrace to our Nation. Others think they’re being “politically correct,” which has happened before, far too often, with certain Members of this Court when, in fact, they’re just FOOLS and “LAPDOGS” for the RINOS and Radical Left Democrats and, not that this should have anything to do with it, very unpatriotic, and disloyal to the Constitution. It is my opinion that the Court has been swayed by Foreign Interests, and a Political Movement that is far smaller than people would think — But obnoxious, ignorant, and loud!

This was an important case to me, more as a symbol of Economic and National Security, than anything else. The Good News is that there are methods, practices, Statutes, and other Authorities, as recognized by the entire Court and Congress, that are even stronger than the IEEPA TARIFFS, available to me as President of the United States of America and, in actuality, I was very modest in my “ask” of other Countries and Businesses because I wanted to do nothing that could sway the decision that has been rendered by the Court.

I have very effectively utilized TARIFFS over the past year to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. Our Stock Market has just recently broken the 50,000 mark on the DOW and, simultaneously, 7,000 on the S&P, two numbers that everybody thought, upon our Landslide Election Victory, could not be attained until the very end of my Administration — Four years! TARIFFS have, likewise, been used to end five of the eight Wars that I settled, have given us Great National Security and, together with our Strong Border, reduced Fentanyl coming into our Country by 30%, when I use them as a penalty against Countries illegally sending this poison to us. All of those TARIFFS remain, but other alternatives will now be used to replace the ones that the Court incorrectly rejected.

To show you how ridiculous the opinion is, the Court said that I’m not allowed to charge even $1 DOLLAR to any Country under IEEPA, I assume to protect other Countries, not the United States which they should be interested in protecting — But I am allowed to cut off any and all Trade or Business with that same Country, even imposing a Foreign Country destroying embargo, and do anything else I want to do to them — How nonsensical is that? They are saying that I have the absolute right to license, but not the right to charge a license fee. What license has ever been issued without the right to charge a fee? But now the Court has given me the unquestioned right to ban all sorts of things from coming into our Country, a much more powerful Right than many people thought we had.

Our Country is the “HOTTEST” anywhere in the World, but now, I am going in a different direction, which is even stronger than our original choice. As Justice Kavanaugh wrote in his Dissent:

“Although I firmly disagree with the Court’s holding today, the decision might not substantially constrain a President’s ability to order tariffs going forward. That is because numerous other federal statutes authorize the President to impose tariffs and might justify most (if not all) of the tariffs issued in this case…Those statutes include, for example, the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 (Section 232); the Trade Act of 1974 (Sections 122, 201, and 301); and the Tariff Act of 1930 (Section 338).”

Thank you Justice Kavanaugh!

In actuality, while I am sure they did not mean to do so, the Supreme Court’s decision today made a President’s ability to both regulate Trade, and impose TARIFFS, more powerful and crystal clear, rather than less. There will no longer be any doubt, and the Income coming in, and the protection of our Companies and Country, will actually increase because of this decision. Based on longstanding Law and Hundreds of Victories to the contrary, the Supreme Court did not overrule TARIFFS, they merely overruled a particular use of IEEPA TARIFFS. The ability to block, embargo, restrict, license, or impose any other condition on a Foreign Country’s ability to conduct Trade with the United States under IEEPA, has been fully confirmed by this decision. In order to protect our Country, a President can actually charge more TARIFFS than I was charging in the past under the various other TARIFF authorities, which have also been confirmed, and fully allowed.

Therefore, effective immediately, all National Security TARIFFS, Section 232 and existing Section 301 TARIFFS, remain in place, and in full force and effect. Today I will sign an Order to impose a 10% GLOBAL TARIFF, under Section 122, over and above our normal TARIFFS already being charged, and we are also initiating several Section 301 and other Investigations to protect our Country from unfair Trading practices. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

Strangely he doesn't mention the constitution at all.

What the fuck? Crazy man posts he's sending a US Navy hospital ship to Greenland to provide medical care even though Greenland has no need of it. They were not consulted and reject the plan.

https://www.cnn.com/2026/02/21/politics/trump-greenland-hospital-boat

According to NYT, Denmark has refused the plan and that they had not been consulted beforehand.

Denmark’s defense minister on Sunday rejected a plan by President Trump to send a “great hospital boat” to Greenland, the Arctic island and semiautonomous territory of Denmark that Mr. Trump has long sought to acquire.

The president said in a post on Truth Social on Saturday that the boat would “take care of the many people who are sick, and not being taken care of there,” adding that it was “on the way!!!”

But Troels Lund Poulsen, the Danish defense minister, told Denmark’s public broadcaster, DR, that his government had not been made aware of the plan. He said that there was “no need for special health care efforts” in Greenland.

It was not clear why Mr. Trump planned to assist Greenland with its health care. Greenlanders have the right to health care that is free at the point of use, including prescription medications, according to the Nordic Council and the Nordic Council of Ministers.

another failed mission: Out of cash and nothing but a shotgun for trade, Secret Service guns down man looking to get gas for his car.

“He was ordered to drop those two pieces of equipment that he had with them. At which time he put down the gas can, raised the shotgun to a shooting position,” Bradshaw said at a brief press conference. The two agents and the deputy “fired their weapons to neutralize the threat.”

I think he's much more likely to try to buy off the electorate with a strategy from Bush Junior: sending every household a check from his big beautiful tariffs. The Bushies did it twice, in '01 and '08, to every household, with a low end of $300 (which I got as a single guy) to $1200. It came directly out of the Social Security surplus, meaning people in a future generation paid for it. Don't know exactly what fund Donald will use. Don't be surprised if this happens around the first week of September. Do expect that Trump's name, and probably his mug shot, will appear on your check, along with his autopen signature.

Greenland responds in the updated story.

Greenlandic Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen said “no thank you” in a statement responding to Trump’s announcement.

“President Trump’s idea of sending an American hospital ship here to Greenland has been noted. But we have a public healthcare system where treatment is free for citizens,” Nielsen said. “That is a deliberate choice — and a fundamental part of our society. That is not how it works in the USA, where it costs money to see a doctor.”

He added that Greenland is “open to dialogue and cooperation. But please talk to us instead of just making more or less random statements on social media. Dialogue and cooperation require respect for the fact that decisions about our country are made here at home.”

I detect Greenland's PM is not just a little bit miffed.

Trump has got to have dementia.

The only people paying for Trump's tarriffs are US citizens. That is literally how they work.

Also those who have taken membership of the Board of Peace. A billion USD for what does not concern them, Argentina for example. Wisely, India did not join.

What the fuck are you talking about? A tariff is a tax on imports that is then cost adjusted so the consumer pays it.

In this case the US citizen.

So what the fuck are you talking about?

 

[Jimmy Higgins]

With the DHS shutdown, FEMA is unavailable to declare a national emergency in light of the imminent State of the Union Address. I used to watch these, then I didn't watch them as much. I explicitly avoid Trump's. And with the SCOTUS ruling, I'm almost scared to death the level of "swerve" and "anger" he is going to have.

The one thing that concerns me is foreshadowing any illegal actions regarding the upcoming election. That'd be the only reason to watch this upcoming national disaster.

The fact that "Trump has tried to pass on the burden" of xyz and the kitchen sink, is not information to anyone else on this forum except for perhaps a few of the trumpsuckers. But trying to tell them so is futile.

 

[crazyfingers]

About the Supreme Court ruling against him on tariffs, the asshole proves again that it's all about him.

In an angrily worded post, the president claimed he could use licenses “to do absolutely ‘terrible’ things to foreign countries” and that Congress had given him the power to use other kinds of tariff laws “in a much more powerful and obnoxious way, with legal certainty.”

SCOTUS will likely be seated right in front of him tomorrow night. Any predictions on how bad he'll vent on them? A few days ago he was saying "the fucking court" and questioning their patriotism, telling them they'd abandoned the Constitution (I know, this is January Don talking.)
