'Things could get messy': America braces for impact after Trump's tariffs ruled unlawful

In a stunning rebuke, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 against the Trump administration on Friday regarding its authority to impose sweeping tariffs, and Americans are already bracing for impact out of fear that “things could get messy.”

“This is huge,” wrote X user “InvestingwithMG,” an amateur investor and market commentator. “Interested to see how the Trump administration responds and how markets respond. Things could get messy if the U.S. has to refund the tariffs they’ve collected.”

The Supreme Court’s decision – that President Donald Trump had exceeded his authority in imposing his so-called reciprocal tariffs – is expected to send shockwaves across the globe, and potentially infuriate the president himself.

There are options available, and he will use them. I suspect the extra taxes we're paying on everything aren't going back into the Treasury. Who knows where they're siphoned off to? Or the money from the Venezuelan oil. Or our social security, for that matter - how many backdoors are there in that, now?

I don't trust that Satan's Turd any further than I could throw his lard ass. Same with his billionaire robber baron friends.
