There’s zero chance that money is actually sitting in the U.S. treasury.

What a mess.

TACO gets butt kicked in court once again. TACO need better lawyers. Or maybe TACO start following laws instead of breaking them all the time.

Here’s a concept that’s completely foreign to Trumpworld: “the president overstepped his powers”.

cynthiasaysboo.bsky.social•1 day ago

The trump administration ignores any court rulings it doesn't want to follow.

rakista.bsky.social•1 day ago

They aren't going to have a choice, we are talking about $20-30 billion dollars. Any big case will settle the rest.

cynthiasaysboo.bsky.social•1 day ago

Uh, yes, they are. Because just who is going to enforce that order?

rakista.bsky.social•1 day ago

CBP collects the tariffs but the The Treasury Department holds the money.

The Treasury Department is not going to disobey a court order. Trump can't replace its leadership easily.

cynthiasaysboo.bsky.social•1 day ago

And who appointed the head of the Treasury Department, again?

The only way I could imagine anyone believing this is if they were literally under the age of 12. If you are older than that, you are either the biggest rube on the planet or you are trolling us.

xyzzyllyzzyx.bsky.social•1 day ago

Secretary of Treasury is Scott Bessent, a former hedgefund manager put in office by Trump 1/28/25. The "let's disobey the courts" preparation was done well in advance.

The president is a first class idiot.

Small businesses may not be able to recover losses in time to bounce back.

But Trump and his treason buddies don’t really care about small business owners…

lol good luck with that.

Where’s the application form for my refunds?

spewspewitt.bsky.social•1 day ago

SCOTUS rules that Trump must “facilitate to the best of his ability” the return of these duties. Any rulings against Trump from SCOTUS will now read like “Do your best, buddy.”

As it should be! Tariffs have harmed US businesses and upended every decision they make. Not to mention the stress and second-guessing they've had to do ... Often misjudging with the lunatic is going to do next

Art of the deal

kallenemvalts.bsky.social•1 day ago

So tariffs apparently cannot be counted as offsets to billionaire tax cuts in the Big Bullshit Bill?

alissa914.bsky.social•1 day ago

And my favorite part? I was going to Canada to get a Nintendo Switch to avoid tariffs ... and a few days before I go, this happens. :)

I love that they have to refund these tariffs.... sadly, the consumer doesn't get their money back.

ljegan.bsky.social•1 day ago

Come to Canada anyway. You’ll love it.

alissa914.bsky.social•1 day ago

Oh, no... I'm definitely coming. :)

I did enjoy an A&W burger and am going to try those donut bagels you have... hopefully I'll find that Quebec Maple Syrup CocaCola again because I loved that... I bet it was a limited run though....

Everyone needs a vacation from Trump.. even for a week.

harleydyan.bsky.social•1 day ago

You can still find Quebec Maple Coke online.

trai70.bsky.social•23 hours ago

Maple Syrup Coke?

Mystic sorcery!

Twisted as it sounds, I hoped they would continue to teach people why they shouldn’t be rarely used and break this idea he’s an economic mastermind.

lonelymule.bsky.social•1 day ago

I guess the American people will be getting rebate checks after all. 🤣

rklantian.bsky.social•1 day ago

Let's hope so. How would you like it if you had paid the goddam import tax and a week later the goddam import tax was cancelled by court order? But can you imagine the supply chain mayhem ahead?

itsheath.bsky.social•1 day ago

Straight into a very large class action lawsuit(s). We’re paying for the lawyers on this BTW.

sirstandsalot.bsky.social•1 day ago

Tariffs illegal. Great, now do DOGE.

Lock up the fraudster 🇺🇸⛓️

leofreeman.bsky.social•1 day ago

It will be interesting to see the implementation. The government might want to ignore the ruling but officials might obey the law. Popcorn time in any case.

westie74.bsky.social•1 day ago

except they will disobey if the provision in the budget bill stays in. courts would have no power against officials.

simonywaking.bsky.social•1 day ago

And could businesses sue for damages for lost business and other costs, all in excess of the tariffs themselves?

nocoayayron.bsky.social•23 hours ago

And what about the consumers who had to pay the increased costs that were passed along to them? What a cluster. It's almost as if he doesn't know what he's doing.

redshiftsinger.bsky.social•23 hours ago

IANAL but there might be grounds for a class-action.

robaato.bsky.social•1 day ago

My vast amusement is tempered by the fact that the government will probably claim that there's no mechanism in place to refund illegally collected tariffs.

andrewwr235.bsky.social•1 day ago

Surely DOGE can sort that out?

epluribus.bsky.social•1 day ago

Bingo

butterfielda.bsky.social•1 day ago

How will he pay for the tax cuts now?

thedailysusan.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yes! Put the brakes on his lawlessness.
