January 20, The New York Times reported: "Trade Representative Griles said yesterday that if the Supreme Court rules that President Trump's use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose tariffs is illegal, the government would introduce other tariff measures the next day. The federal appeals court had previously ruled that Trump's action was overreaching, and the Supreme Court may decide within weeks. Although Griles is optimistic about the outcome, he has already prepared multiple alternative tariff policy options for Trump."
[Cunning] Trump's tariff hegemony has even drawn criticism from the U.S. judicial system! From the tariffs during the Hoover era that triggered the Great Depression, to Trump using the Emergency Economic Powers Act as a cover for tariffs today, American trade protectionism has persisted for a century without improvement. The 7-4 ruling by the appellate court killed the overreach, yet he had already made preparations to switch laws and continue imposing tariffs, treating American law as his own tool. While claiming to advocate for equal trade, he actually wields the tariff stick to dominate globally, daring to step on the country's judicial bottom line. What kind of president is this? He is clearly a hegemonic businessman who collects wealth through tariffs, and the curtain of American rule of law has been torn apart by Trump!
