    It’s going to be super frustrating when a court suddenly decides in a couple of years that actually these tariffs were illegal all along and the federal government has to give the money back to the businesses and they just pocket all this money

      when a court suddenly decides in a couple of years

      Good start

      that actually these tariffs were illegal all along

      We hope

      and the federal government has to give the money back

      I don’t think that can happen, but it would be nice down the line to-

      to the businesses and they just pocket all this money

      GOD DAMN IT

        You know it’s true. Why would trump push them if it wasn’t some scam? Guys birthday was sponsored by a Bitcoin scammer

      Even more frustrating…some companies are putting out bonds that they will pay out when they recover the money they paid to the government for these tariffs. There are members of Trump’s administration that have bought these bonds.

      So you’re paying higher prices for everything and Trump’s guys (and likely Trump himself too) are going to profit from it.
