Good to know, Deidre.

President Trump announced Saturday he is imposing a new 15 per cent global tariff on all imports entering the US, effective immediately. The new tariff will replace the 10 per cent global tariff that Trump announced Friday shortly after the Supreme Court ruled that much of his existing tariff regime was illegal.

To impose the new tariff, he is turning to a legal tool called Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974. Broadly speaking, the provision, which has never before been used for tariffs, allows a president to impose tariffs of up to 15 per cent for as long as 150 days to address problems caused by persistent trade deficits.

Trade experts say the administration might succeed in raising revenue with Section 122 for a short while because of the time limit. For the moment, the law buys Trump’s team time to strategize on more individualised tariffs using other legal means. In a speech Friday, Trump vowed to reinstate levies at “potentially higher” levels.

Who pays this new tariff?

I'm curious.

Grin

Yeah, still no answer on that one Grin

TRUMP: “You know, we’ve cut drug prices by 1,200, 1,300, 1,400, 1,500%. I don’t mean 50%, I mean 14 — 1,500%.”

Whoever still buys imported stuff instead of local. That IS the point, creep. Like American? No tariff.

It's not complicated.

'Donald Trump has defended his tariffs by arguing that they are already raking in almost $2bn (£1.6bn) a day for the US.
Speaking after more than $5tn of losses on the US stock market since his “liberation day” announcement last week, he made the claim on Tuesday, adding: “America is going to be very rich again, very soon.”
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/09/fact-check-donald-trump-tariffs-...

'Asked if he agreed that Americans were paying the tariffs, Trump said: "No, I don't agree. I think that they might be paying something. But when you take the overall impact, the Americans are gaining tremendously."

When Australia sends a product to the US, who pays the tariff when it arrives there: a) the Australian exporter or, b) the American importer?

A simple a) or b) will suffice.

So hilarious to see the old boy continuing to bang on about tariffs.

We're about to see his DL turn 180%. You'll see, by the end of this year, DL will be complaining about Sleepy Joe sticking tariffs on everything and how DESPICABLE they are.

The old boy will then say that. Today? Not so much. Tomorrow?

SO UNFAIR !!!

'Slamming the US Supreme Court for overturning his “Liberation Day” global tariffs, President Donald Trump suggested he doesn’t plan to refund the fees already collected by the US government.'

As the cash was illegal profiteering, and he's immune and has a track record of dodgy deals, then it all belongs to him. You don't throw away a lifetime's experience just because of a fake judge.

One Fumed Over the Supreme Court (Cuckoo's Nest parody)

Mr. Newberger's AI Funnies

Quote:

Trump just got ruled against by the Supreme Court… and took it exactly how you’d expect.

In One Fumed Over the Supreme Court, a One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest parody, the ward fills up with tariff delusions, foreign conspiracies, and a patient who thinks losing power somehow makes him stronger.

From attacking his own justices to threatening economic chaos, this is what happens when reality checks in… and gets thrown out the window.

If you like your satire loud, absurd, and uncomfortably close to real life… welcome to the ward.
