#Trump announced Saturday that he would raise his new, global #tariff to 15%, a day after he took steps to replicate some of the punishing duties that had been struck down by #SCOTUS.
Trump announced the change in a post on social media, & said the #tariffs would take effect immediately, as he signaled anew that he would press ahead with his #trade war despite the legal ruling.

In a press conference, Trump says members on SCOTUS are "very unpatriotic and disloyal" and have been "swayed by foreign interests."
We're two or three negative rulings away from Trump saying, 'feck it' the Supreme Court, nor Congress, has an Army to stop me. #USPol #TrumpTariffTax #SCOTUS #Tariff

Many items did get more expensive last month. #Clothing #costs rose 0.3% in January from the previous month, & are up 1.7% from a year earlier. #Airfares jumped 6.5% just last month, though they are up a smaller 2.2% compared with a year ago. #Music subscriptions soared 4.5% in January & are 7.8% higher than a year earlier.
Many businesses are still eating #tariff costs & economists expect they may raise #prices more in the next few months.

#Trump's latest diarrhea "truth" about the Gordie Howe #bridge, and how he wants to block its opening until (paraphrasing) he owns half of it and (literal quote) “the United States is fully compensated for everything we have given them, and also, importantly, #Canada treats the United States with the #Fairness and #Respect that we deserve” can have only one response:
"Fuck you, Donnie."
If the #Canadian government negotiates with the #USA over this... if we even dignify it with a response, as if it was a reasonable concern ... if we, as a country, do *anything* that even hints at his #tantrum being any kind of #reasonable argument, then we have failed.
"Fuck you, Donnie."
#Bullies don't understand anything except pushback, and when they get that, they fold.
"Fuck you, Donnie."
That should be our position on every demand he makes and every overwrought complaint he vomits out into the #MAGAsphere.
T: "Canada's treated us badly."
"Fuck you, Donnie."
T: "Canada better keep buying the #F35 or they'll regret it!"
"Fuck you, Donnie."
T: "Doing business with #China, we're not going to allow that."
"Fuck you, Donnie."
T: "Canada's going to have to cooperate with us on my fabulous Golden Dome."
"Fuck you, Donnie."
T: "I'm going to #tariff Canada!"
"Fuck you, Donnie."
He's going to do what he's going to do. He can't be reasoned with, he won't honour his own word so you can't trust any "deal" with him.
"Fuck you, Donnie."
#EU freezes work on #US #trade deal ‘indefinitely’ after #Trump’s #Greenland & #tariff threats
A key group of European Parliament members blocked a vote to ratify a US-European trade deal Wednesday after Trump threatened to take over Greenland & charge as much as an additional 35% tariff on countries opposed to his ambitions.

THE MAN IS Nucking Futz.
#ICYMI (as I did), #DonnieDumbass attended the #PressBriefing today and bragged about his #tariffs:
He claimed (completely wrong & w/o evidence) that foreign companies are moving to the U.S. b/c of his #tariff policy. They aren't.
He falsely claimed (again w/o evidence) they were "creating millions of jobs" (they aren't. #Unemployment is up.)
He claimed #inflation is at a record low (it's at a 5yr high) and TRILLIONS in tax revenue pouring in.

Dear Senator / Representative:
This Republican Administration has announced a $12 billion payout to American farmers as a result of market losses caused by their tariffs, primarily for farmers who grow corn and soybeans. There are 1.9 million farms in the United States. About 750,000 farms grow corn and/or soybeans.
At the same time, this Republican Administration is stymied on developing a plan to assist the 24 million Americans who will see a massive increase in the cost of their healthcare when the Affordable Care Act subsidies expire on January 1, 2026.
Another 150 million Americans with employer-sponsored insurance are also expected to see increased premiums at a time when wages are stagnant. Although KFF reports that ACA premiums are rising 26% on average before subsidies, they predict that premium payments will more than double without subsidies.
Here's a better plan: end the tariffs, allow these 750,000 farmers to sell their products on the open market. Many of these same farmers rely on the ACA for their healthcare, so a clean, three-year extension on the ACA subsidies will help benefit the farmers as well.
Please be an advocate for common sense solutions that benefit the most Americans possible. Please push back hard on the Republican lack-of-plans to solve these problems.

The low-effort generative AI looking tariff rates is a tell. The fact bitcoin moved the same way as US stock indices has a bad smell about it too.
