Your DU summary of Trump's tariff briefing - No means Yes

[underpants]

such is his nature.

The SCOTUS is influenced by foreign interests.
Kavanaugh is good.
Trump understands language well.
Trump tried to be a “Good Boy” in the run up to the hearing. That’s a threat.
Cited specific sections of trade Acts 1962, 1974, 1930sonething (I think) which means he can still do it.
Anyone who opposes him is a “sleazebag”.
He talked to a steel plant owner yesterday who wanted to kiss him and his plant was only open ONE HOUR A DAY (he just repeated that) and now they are working double shifts.
Stephen Moore says he’s right, disproved 22 noted economists, and doing great.
He’s slapping another 10% in tariffs on everything.

1. Rapist!!!

4. My wife nodded when I offered that summary.

He’s raping the country.

[Walleye]

10. And the more we don't want him the more he wants to do it

[erronis]

13. Strange. I read this as "Raptist". Interesting combination of a couple of words that go together.

[SheltieLover]

2. Quiet slob

[Irish_Dem]

3. He will ignore the SC ruling and in fact double down?

[underpants]

6. Basically yes.

Everyone around him tells him he was right and can continue. He read things and understands the language.

[WestMichRad]

12. "He read things and understands the language."

I have serious doubt about the truthiness of that statement. He listens to his sycophants, who today are probably telling him to stay the course and double down.

5. "I can do anything I want "

I’m sure I heard him say that

[underpants]

7. According to his "reading" of IEEP yes.

[Wednesdays]

8. "We have the right to do pretty much what we want to do." nt

[Hugin]

9. It was in the news nobody reads that the Kakistofascists were preparing for this eventually months ago.

Lining up their doublespeak rationale for steaming straight into the iceberg and issuing a big FU to the Supremes. Just like the DoJokers have done with everything else.

[KS Toronado]

17. "DoJokers" I like that, it's true.

11. My Saturday morning coffee

Is just the BEST time on DU - the Friday news dump is coming in and DU is buzzing. Thanks for this, very funny.

[OGBuzz]

14. And don't forget...

America was 'totally dead' until Trump swooped in and rescued it. After his historical "landslide" election victory by the unimaginable margin of 1.5%.

[underpants]

16. The lights were dimmed in the press room. I just read what I'd noticed.

As if it was a somber occasion I guess. The lights were noticeably lower.

[calimary]

15. Anyone who opposes him is a "sleazebag"? Well, he oughta know.

Because NOBODY does “sleazebag” like the Donald does.
