Queue more Trump clan grift. A direct relative, cough Eric, cough cough, or close affiliate happens to be in the tariff refund claim market and abracadabra the US government just decides to pay out.
The Trump kids have the best chance at settling. They could team up with hedgies and “mediate” with the WH, then miraculously reach a settlement in December, 2028.
Nothing will surprise me.
And get blanket pardons the next day
I wonder how many CEOs that voted for Trump because he’d be good for business would like to change their ballot. If you want stability and predictability then Trump is your last pick. In one year we have measles outbreaks, masked men attacking US cities, aircraft carriers moved around the globe like it was a game of Risk, former allies used as punching bags when there’s a lull in the news all while el presidente lifts his leg on any building he comes across. And that’s not even the tip of the iceberg. Meanwhile a deer in the headlights congress is all but useless. Who knew it would only take one madman one year to break American democracy. We were forewarned, but still couldn’t see it drunk as we were on our own delusions of superiority. America, what goes around comes around. There’s no country left that will come to your aid without a financial gun put to their head. Now you’ve gone all in on AI.
Proposal for a movement: every taxpayer to deduct the amount (with penalties and interest) of tariffs wrongly collected – from their next tax return…and let Trump’s dysfunctional, undermanned and eviscerated IRS do the litigating to collect?
First inquiries should be sent to Howard Lutnick’s sons over at Cantor.
Just insane. Was going to mention this from my weekend reading. Nothing surprises me anymore.
Is some sort of class action lawsuit even a possibility here?
It was vulgar the way that Trump embraced scorched Earth legal battles as a businessman. As President it is just beyond words.
In the mid 80s, I moved to New Jersey to take a sales territory and one of the first things many of my customers told me was how Trump screwed their relatives who were trades people who helped build his casinos. It was the same game plan with a twist. He claimed poor workmanship and then force the small contractors into court which they couldn’t afford and so they’d have to settle for quarters on the dollar. What a bastard.
