Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said he is “confident” Donald Trump’s tariff plan “will win” at the Supreme Court, but warned the U.S. would be forced to issue massive refunds if it loses.
National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett noted that there are “other legal authorities” that the administration could use if the tariffs are blocked.
Before court action, Trump’s tariffs were set to affect nearly 70% of U.S. goods imports.
SCOTUS won’t rule against Trump.
Refunds won’t go back to the buyers.
Ya’ll are fucked.
There’s a possibility that the SCOTUS will say no further tariffs are legal but the ones in place had a pseudo-legally-valid status just by virtue of not yet being declared not-legal by the SCOTUS.
