Trump’s Angry New Tirade Over Tariff Ruling Accidentally Says Too Much ...Middle East

News by : (The New Republic) -

That’s absurd: The judge that Trump appointed to the three-judge U.S. Court of International Trade—which issued the ruling—has protectionist sympathies, yet even he saw the tariffs as illegal. What’s more, the Federalist Society—and Leo—have helped shape today’s Supreme Court, which enabled Trump to evade accountability for his insurrection, making his 2024 victory possible.

The horrific decision stated that I would have to get the approval of Congress for these Tariffs. In other words, hundreds of politicians would sit around D.C. for weeks, and even months, trying to come to a conclusion as to what to charge other Countries that are treating us unfairly. If allowed to stand, this would completely destroy Presidential Power—The Presidency would never be the same!

Here Trump derides the very idea that Congress should have a good deal of authority over the levying of tariffs. Trump claims this can’t apply in the case of his new tariffs because it prevents him from acting to protect the country in an emergency. In this case, that emergency is the one Trump has invoked—our trade deficits—to appropriate for himself virtually unlimited power to levy sweeping taxes on products imported from all over the world.

But that aside, in saying all this, Trump is openly declaring that he should have the power to circumvent Congress in levying these tariffs to address emergencies. Yet as Trump himself demonstrates here, in claiming this authority, he’s invoking an emergency that is not real. Trillions of dollars are not being “lost” by our country due to trade deficits, as his rant proclaims. That is not how trade deficits work, and they certainly do not constitute “emergencies.” As Trump’s tirade plainly shows, he made up the “emergency” to grant himself extraordinarily sweeping authorities.

In his rant, Trump explicitly equates these lawful limits imposed on his powers by Congress—and upheld by judges—with the total destruction of presidential authority. Letting this ruling stand, he rages, would “completely destroy Presidential Power.” In other words, preserving presidential power by definition means not accepting such lawful limits on it.

The broader aim here is obvious, and even Trump-appointed judges are taking note of it. There’s the current ruling on tariffs joined by a Trump appointee. And another federal judge picked by Trump recently blocked his deportations under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act by sharply contesting his claim that we’re under “invasion” by a hostile foreign power, as the statute requires. This ruling said that letting Trump “unilaterally define” when an invasion is underway simply by decree—without regard to facts—thus justifying suspension of due process would “remove all limitations” to Trump’s authority.

What’s really at issue here is whether Trump can simply pull “emergencies” out of his rear to assume dictatorial powers for himself. The court is saying, No, you can’t. Trump’s rant basically says: Yes, I can.

The real reason Trump and his minions are raging at the courts is that they want that latter proposition to be the controlling one—which, not incidentally, would make great strides toward making his power to tyrannize over us quasi-absolute. That is their project, and they’re not even hiding it anymore. The only question at this point is whether they succeed—or whether we stop them.
