The average pocket book cost of the tarrifs have been about $2300 per person.
Replying to @greg_ip
They are foreign policy tools and the revenue is a happy by product

He said they are regulatory tariffs, which my understanding is something he just made up

"Look, Justice, the President frequently lies about his policies on his website Truth Social and has repeatedly demonstrated an inability to grasp basic aspects of federal law. Therefore these are clearly not revenue-raising tariffs."

You gotta love how Trump's own words constantly undermine his court battles.

TARIFFS ARE A TAX ON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE

Katyal should file a supplemental with this as its only exhibit.
Replying to @greg_ip
Alito will find some meaning in this, and declare it’s just political speech.

How ironic the social is called "Truth".
>King Liar< @BruceCampbell63 reports a @FoxNews article (foxbusiness.com/politics/tru…) where a WH spokesperson's comment ("Coffee prices globally are also near historic highs because of supply woes... not tariffs.") is a gross distortion of market reality and is essentially false. 1/

All they do is lie.
Replying to @greg_ip
See this:
This is false. The Trump Administration's own Council of Economic Advisors relies on at least 10 years of sustained tariff revenue to offset trillions in new spending from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

He is delusional too.
Replying to @greg_ip
If we are taking in trillions in revenue then find the government...pay SNAP, TSA, Air Traffic controllers, military, WIC, etc! If there is enough to give every citizen $2,000 then fund the damned government....if not then shut up about tariffs and drop them!

Blah, Blah, Blah! As usual, tfg talks the talk, but hasn’t a clue how to walk the walk. tfg is gonna send people $2000? When did he decide that? When is the money gonna be delivered? tfg is like a Nigerian prince.

That motor mouth lawyer is so annoying.
Replying to @greg_ip
Trump obviously gets better delusions from the shit he's smoking than the ones I'm getting from the shit I smoke. Maybe he should start selling it. Hell, he probably already is, which explains why he's bombing the competition importing stuff in speed boats from South America.

And yet children are starving and federal workers are not being paid.
Replying to @greg_ip
Tariffs are import taxes. They are literal revenue raisers. Wtf does he even mean???
Replying to @greg_ip
it's like a SCOTUS OUIJA board game @RWMann
Replying to @greg_ip @gtconway3d
He knows that but he is promising money to Americans knowing the Supreme Court will strike down his tariffs. Then he blames the court and democrats for not paying out the stimulus check
Replying to @greg_ip @gtconway3d
Full quote: “We don't contend that what's being exercised here is the power to tax. It's the power to regulate foreign commerce. These are regulatory tariffs. They are not revenue-raising tariffs. The fact that they raise revenue is only incidental.” @greg_ip is a lying hack.
Replying to @greg_ip
Revenue raised is incidental. This is obvious. A large number of business will move production back to the U.S., avoiding tariffs. You are a simpleton.
Replying to @greg_ip
The rapist felon is too stupid to understand what he's even saying.
