Tariff revenue makes it hard for Supreme Court to rule against Trump, Bessent says

(The Trump regime of unqualified hacks pretending to be in charge has stated the Court of Appeals will cast us all into another Great Depression if they uphold the rule of law and rule against his illegal tariff taxes on the American people. According to them, there will be a crash if his LARPer government has to pay back the 1.6 billion dollars they have raised so far (they claim it's in the trillions which is a lie)

At the same time, his new head of BLS says they aren't going to release monthly jobs data reports anymore, I guess to cover-up for all the jobs they are losing as a direct result of Trump fucking up the economy with his tariffs and 'deals'.  BTW, Trump hasn't made any trade 'deals'. Trade deals are approved by congress, several hundred pages long and signed by other countries. He's just made the shit up wholesale as he imposes new, illegal taxes on the American people to pay for the tax breaks he gave Big Business and Billionaires.)

Increasing revenues flowing into U.S. government coffers from tariffs would make it difficult for the Supreme Court to rule against the Trump administration on the issue if a lower court case makes its way to country's top court, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Tuesday.

 

"The more money coming in, it gets harder and harder for SCOTUS to rule against us," Bessent said in an interview on Fox Business Network's "Kudlow."

Bessent was responding to a question about a case currently in front of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington, D.C., which challenges the legality of what Trump calls "reciprocal" tariffs as well as a separate set of tariffs imposed in February against China, Canada and Mexico.
