In a 7-4 decision, the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit rejected Trump's argument that the tariffs were permitted under an emergency economic powers act, calling them "invalid as contrary to law".

US court rules many of Trump's global tariffs are illegal

The tariffs can remain in place until mid-October to allow the Trump administration time to request the Supreme Court take up the case.

Trump enacted those tariffs to flex power over other nations. He's not the smartest goldfish in the pond.

@Bellarome Hell yes there’s money in it! One plan I read is that wealthy MAGA farm owners are expecting a large and constant supply of slave laborers consisting of once free American citizens who, thanks to the fascists destroying the rule of law, are imprisoned and broken in US federal prison camps then turned out into the fields to work to death on starvation rations.

After the MAGA farm owners intentionally under-produce for a year or two causing us 300+ million unwealthy citizens to go hungry we’ll all look the other way, blame whatever narrative the fascists cook up, and go on pretending slavery isn’t a thing while thanking G_d that we weren’t the ones disappeared and sent to the camps.
