  • Not quite. The office of the President already had legal immunity for official acts, the only thing that SC ruling did was reiterate that and also stymie efforts to pursue a legal case against him by buying more time for him to get re-elected. That last part came from having to refer a case to the SC if there was a question over whether or not something was “official”. If we had a functional SC that wasn’t assisting the Executive, it wouldn’t have been a big deal.

    Unless the American people vote out the majority of politicians who want to protect Trump to further their own agendas, there will continue to be an evisceration of decorum. He has no true legal protection, just political ones.














  • The perception would absolutely not be the same, and US companies are also not exempted from paying them. Most people don’t understand that tariffs are taxes paid on imports, paid by those who import them. They think tariffs are magical and the money comes from foreigners.

    People may start to understand if/when the price hikes start affecting them directly. For now only retirees with stock market holdings have seen a drop.
