Tariff Decision - U.S. Court of International Trade

Observant1
edited May 29 in Off-Topic
To no one's surprise, Trump is contemptuous towards the U.S. Court of International Trade ruling yesterday.
In an effort to demonstrate strength, the "leader of the free world" reached out to his alt-right base via his social media platform. These are some of the same "fine people" who, incited by Trump, stormed the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021 in a failed attempt to subvert our nation's democracy. These "true patriots" were subsequently pardoned by the president.

From Heather Cox Richardson:

"Tonight, after news broke that the judges had ruled his tariffs illegal and after he had reacted angrily to a reporter’s question about the 'TACO trade,' a weakened Trump reached out to his alt-right base as he appeared determined to demonstrate dominance. He posted a meme on his social media account showing an image of himself walking toward the viewer on what appears to be a wet, nighttime city street. Pepe the Frog, a symbol of the far right, stands in the background."

"Above Trump, in all capital letters, are the words: 'He’s on a mission from God.' Below his feet, also in all caps, the message continues: '& nothing can stop what is coming.' This is a phrase from the right-wing QAnon conspiracy community and refers to the idea that members of the 'Deep State' and its collaborators will soon be arrested."
