Either his tariffs would be upheld, which would be good for the U.S. because the tariffs are good,

or,

The Court would determine that Congress inappropriately attempted to pass constitutional congressional powers to the President, which I always suspected to be the case, and a constitutional clarification in this regard is also good. And, this could have ramifications for other congressional powers Congress attempted to transfer to the executive branch. The Left may come to dislike such limitations.

Of course, as far as tariffs are concerned, unless one of the other justifications for tariffs is upheld, it would mean that tariffs are dead as a concept, since Congress will never pass tariffs going forward, just like Congress will likely never declare war going forward.

Nothing causes a company to scramble faster to keep their US production lines operational than tariffs. I've seen it in action.

And protecting US manufacturing is a serious national defense issue as far as I'm concerned. It is more than worth the sacrifices required to make it work.

Without tariffs, US companies are transferring manufacturing to China just to meet a quarterly number on Wall Street. (We should also do away with quarterly reporting. It encourages short term decision making to the detrimental of the US.)

I don’t. I think he looks at.tariffs as a revenue source and he doesn’t care who pays them.

Tariffs act as taxes on domestic consumers and businesses, often hurting the very industries they are meant to support by raising input costs. They can lead to lower GDP growth and reduced

Consumers face higher prices for goods. Small businesses often struggle more than large ones to manage increased costs, impacting their ability to compete.

Regardless, my points stand independently of what he thinks.

You listed some drawbacks of tariffs. I don't deny there is a cost, but I already said I believe the price is worth paying. Tariffs are stopping US companies from enabling China industry & technology with short-sighted, Wall-Street-oriented decisions. Our economy is now consumer driven, not manufacturer driven. Tariffs seek to reverse that (or at least slow down the progression).

We beat Germany and Japan because of our manufacturing prowess. We no longer have that. We do have a tech advantage. But guess which wins a war of attrition...one Panzer or 10 Shermans?

But re tech: US companies are licensing our tech into China so China corporations can have a non-US supply chain (China's China-only supply chain requirement being their version of tariffs). Tariffs are a weak attempt to slow things down. Don't let the fact that Trump is the person doing this require you to believe it is a bad thing. For national defense, this is necessary.

And that ain’t Trump. He has weaponized them and frankly, I don’t think he knows what he’s doing.

I vote on policy that is good for the nation, not whether I hate the president ... a petulant child might do the latter, though.

And don't get me wrong. Tariffs aren't a universal systemic positive...but they are needed now. You wouldn't soak your manufacturing line in water every day ... that is insane. But, when the factory catches fire, you will be happy that the fire department is there to give things a good soak.

...businesses are hurting from these tariffs...along with consumers. Writ Large, the Stock Market applauded the Supreme Court's decision.

I hear more complaining than positive comments. We have a big government contracting concentration here in San Diego: Most business owners that I talk to feel they’ve been adversely affected by some of the tariffs.

More importantly, people that live paycheck to paycheck are paying more for basic necessities because of tariffs.

Some on here are highly educated and have bought into his con hook, line, and sinker. Perplexing to say the least.

That’s really what it’s all about.

Oh! And running against a harridan and a DEI ditz,
