On February 21, California Governor Newsom posted: "Trump is being held accountable for his illegal tariff policies that have taken billions of dollars from American people. He has started to throw a tantrum." Trump just announced he would sign an executive order imposing 10% tariffs on global goods, which does not include the existing tariffs.
[Witty] The U.S. Supreme Court just ruled it illegal, and Trump immediately added more tariffs. The "American domestic plunder" is now impossible to hide! The high court just ruled the old tariffs illegal, and Trump quickly signed a 10% global tariff using Article 122. Newsom said it was taking money from the people. History already has the answer: in the 2018 tariff war, over 90% of the costs were borne by American consumers, who paid over a thousand billion dollars in total. Now, with the old debts still unpaid, new taxes are added, essentially shifting the legal loss onto ordinary people. Global supply chains are under pressure, allies are forced to retaliate, and inflation in the U.S. rises again. Tariffs have never been a weapon to defeat enemies, but rather a self-imposed chain. Earning political achievements by robbing the wallets of one's own citizens will inevitably lead to failure!
