Of course, these people are happy, but true Americans will not be happy.”Secret Service kills shotgun-wielding man at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago after breaking through security perimetera guy who claimed to be named John Barron and sounded a lot like Trump called into C-SPAN to complain about the Supreme Court's tariff decision and call Hakeem Jeffries "a dope"Early on in Trump’s first term, it emerged that he had used pseudonyms such as “John Barron” to call upC-SPAN had been fielding calls from viewers across the country in reaction to the Supreme Court’s 6-3 ruling that Trump cannot use the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose tariffs. Trump had been using IEEPA, a statute that never mentioned the word tariff and has never been used by a president to impose duties to slap levies on foreign imports at will. The president still has other powers that he is now turning to for tariffs, but those avenues are much more cumbersome to use than IEEPA, which he used to rake in some $133 billion in revenue as of December. He has since moved to reimplement his 10% baseline tariff under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, which he later bumped up to 15%. Notably, Section 122 tariffs are limited to 150 days and need Congressional approval to get re-upped after that.Shortly after the C-SPAN call, the real Trump took to the podium at the White House press briefing room and excoriated the Supreme Court. “They’re just being fools and lapdogs for the RINOs and the radical left Democrats, and not that they should have anything at all to do with it. They’re very unpatriotic and disloyal to our Constitution,” Trump fumed.
