AHEM.....ACTIONS R AT ODDS WITH WORDS

A unanimous lower court has said, essentially: Of course not. Eighteen organizations, spanning the jurisprudential spectrum, have filed amicus briefs opposing the president. They demonstrate the following:

After the preamble, the Constitution’s first word is “all”: “All legislative Powers” are vested in Congress. And the power to tax is listed first among Congress’s enumerated powers. Because the Constitution vests in Congress the power to “lay and collect” duties and imposts, pre PER WAPO

ALL LEGISLATIVE POWERS R VESTED IN CONGRESS....NOT THE CZAR

WAIT AND WATCH

This tariff court case could rein in the rampant Trump presidency

Trump is a hare, and the federal courts are a tortoise. We know how that fable turned out.

The executive branch can create short term tariff actions. 90 days IIRC. Time enough for Congress to get back into session and pass their own tariff or reject Trump's. Sounds like a good compromise to me.

The Republican House can rubber stamp Donny's deals when they come back from Summer break.

The thing that shocks me, but doesn’t surprise me, is that the left, and Republicans slightly left of Fred, actually want Trump to fail in the attempt to get better trade deals that would greatly help our country and hopefully slow down the next and biggest debt crisis.

Homeagain would never answer the, but I’ll ask her anyway. HA, if Trump was able to get better trade deals across the board that reignited our manufacturing sector, created hundreds of thousands of jobs, and finally we start having trade surpluses….

Would you rather see that, or would you rather see every country reject the deals and humiliate Trump?

It’s an impossible question for her to answer, even though it’s just an A or B question. You see, if she was a patriotic American who wants to see this country thrive and lift more people out of poverty, she would have to pick A… but then she would have to admit Trump was right and helped the country… NOT POSSIBLE. So if she picks B, then she’s admitting that her hatred for one man is so strong, that she would rather the country suffer from a lost opportunity than watch Trump take a massive victory lap that will be solidly etched in every HONEST AND NOT LEFTIST history book.

Fred, you hate Trump. Do you want to see him fail?

The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.

I graduated with a double major in Economics and Finance. I have always been a Free Trade enthusiast.

If President Trump can get a majority of nations to create true free trade zones, I would heartily cheer him.

Using tariffs as a revenue stream? Frankly I don't like the idea. Depending on the product, other nations will have natural advantages at delivering cheaper product than US suppliers. Let American consumers get their coffee from Brazil instead of Hawaii. Textiles from Vietnam instead of Vermont. Let America concentrate on the products we do well.

It's not just about the goods we buy, it's also about the goods we sell. Have you looked into the recent deal with Japan? Do you not like it?

The EU will now buy $750 billion worth of energy from the US. Would this have happened without the tariff threats? You may be a double major in economics, but you've also likely been taught economics by leftists who believe Keynesian Economics is the gold standard, which it isn't.

But fears remain about the other shoe that may drop

Even though stocks are at record highs, there's still a palpable fear among some market experts that investors may have gotten the tariff situation all wrong.

Although Trump has announced a handful of deals with some countries, the most important ones still remain, including those with the United States' largest trading partners — Mexico, Canada, China and the European Union.

And then there's the economic impact. Although investors are relieved import duties so far haven't been as bad as initially feared, the average tariff rate is still at the highest it has been since the 1930s. The cost of imports will be higher, and prices that consumers pay will rise.
That will end up having an inevitable impact both on economic growth and on inflation, even if the U.S. is not seeing the full effects just yet.
It's not just tariffs, though. Other uncertainties loom, most prominently Trump's relentless attacks against Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. PAY ATTENTION SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS...THE ABOVE IS PERTINENT.


Though Trump has indicated he won't seek to fire Powell for now — a step that would set up a big legal fight and roil financial markets — he continues to attack both the Fed and Powell.

And stocks are expensive, meaning they are vulnerable to big falls if something unexpected happens.

Sandy Villere, a partner and portfolio manager at Villere & Co. in New Orleans, says markets could fall by 10% to 12% from current levels in the second half of the year.

"Everybody's assuming everything's going to be perfect," he says. "That's usually where you get the pullback. When things are priced for perfection, we get nervous."

That's the ultimate concern. Stock markets are priced for perfection — and the higher markets go, the higher the chance it could potentially end in tears.

There are always Bears in every market. As a trained economist, record highs in the stock market during a tariff war don't make sense but I have been wrong before.

You forget that the US holds the best cards, yet you were betting against us. Stop thinking we have the same kind of worthless leaders we’ve had in the past. Trump knows what he’s doing and he didn’t need a double major in economics.
