The United States is facing what experts describe as a potential financial crisis as the Supreme Court reviews the legality of President Donald Trump’s wide-reaching emergency tariffs.

Justice Amy Coney Barrett called this scenario ‘a mess’, warning that the government could face an administrative crisis of unprecedented scale.

Trade lawyers say the impact could be overwhelming. Many of President Trump’s tariffs changed multiple times, and shipments often contained goods subject to different rates. The result is years of tangled customs data

    The companies get the bail out instead of us and the prices still don’t go down. It’s like getting punched in the face and the balls at the same time.

    Despite the fact that it’s going to be a shitshow to clean the royal fucking mess you’ve made, you still have to clean up your royal fucking mess.

      That’s not how it works. That’s not how any of it works. Did you see the aftermath of the last few Maga cult rallies?

      Maga makes a royal fucking mess and everyone else is expected to clean it up.

    Turns out letting the guy who habitually bankrupts businesses run the government “like a business” leads to financial problems. Who could possibly have predicted this? There’s also the fact he’s a complete moron, and likely is suffering from early onset dementia, and he’s a felon and conman just for that extra bit of spice.

        I think they are referring to the conservative justices on the Supreme Court.

        Much of the point of an preliminary injunction is to prevent irreversible harm to parties… but in their selective application of them, they repeatedly value the executive branch’s feelings over the Constitution, the rule-of-law, and in this case a US$1T clusterfuck on the people of the United States.

    Let’s hope Barrett and the other 5 Republican justices protect the poor government from that awful “administrative crisis.” We wouldn’t possibly want anyone in the administration to actually have to deal with the consequences of Trump’s administrative theft, would we?
