Trump threatens 100% tariffs on any country imposing digital services taxes on US tech firms

Putting politics aside, how exactly would the defiance of a single mayor trigger a "constitutional crisis".
Was that a joke or just ignorance of what the term means?

"...A constitutional crisis [occurs] when political branches openly defy each other or the foundational rules of the nation's constitution are rendered ineffective..."

SCOTUS has ruled that constitutionally these aliens have no protected status and thus are liable to deportation. Mamdani is openly defying this, and promising to ignore both federal law and the rulings of the judicial branch, by shielding them from deportation. Still worse, other prominent Democrats are siding with him, threatening to spread the insurrection to other areas.

You failed to read properly. As the post clearly expresses, both sets of tariffs -- the EU and the US -- vary by country of origin and by product. Not that it's even crucial to the point: anyone who believes that 10% tariffs on one cut of beef and 100% tariffs on another is ethically and economically sound, whereas 50% tariffs on all is not, is a person who should be allowed to wander around outside without professional supervision.
And you’ve completely missed the point again. Trump is putting BLANKET tariffs on countries not a per product basis like everywhere else does.

At this rate everyone should just slap a 1000% tariff on US goods and stop trading with the orangutang.

I’m sorry but hasn’t Trump just ignored the courts the entire time he’s been in office?

Why not read posts before replying? Or at least educate yourself on an issue before attempting to debate it. Those "blanket" tariffs were anything but.

"...President Trump’s tariff framework includes thousands of specific product exclusions. These carve-outs—spanning agricultural goods, electronics, energy, and medical supplies—aim to protect domestic competitiveness and limit price increases for American consumers and businesses. [1, 2]...."

So you've now devolved into the sophomoric level of debate which consists of merely hooting "orange man bad!"

Trump has never defied a Supreme Court order. And it's still President Obama who holds the record for most unconstitutional acts according to SCOTUS rulings: more than Reagan, both Bushes, and Trump all combined.

I think you need to read something that isn’t sucking him off

Not really, he’s just an ***** who has already irreparably damaged the US’s position in the world and the living standards of those who live there.

He literally refused to retrieve an American citizen he illegally deported, been held in criminal contempt and is well into the hundreds on just immigration policies alone. Not to mention the war crimes.

I’d like a source for that, preferably not Fox News.

Those are simple facts. These were not "blanket tariffs" any more than any other nation's are. Why not learn to use Google and verify it for yourself? Or simply admit you don't care about the truth, if the lies disparage Trump?

Where would the fascist Left be without your lies and disinformation, eh? Two separate immigration judges ruled that Abrego Garcia was deportable, but couldn't be deported to his home country, because "he feared rival gangs might target him." (interesting statement from someone who claims to not be a gang member, eh?)

Because of that order, SCOTUS ruled that the administration should "facilitate" his return to the US, which Trump's DOJ did by issuing an extradition warrant to retrieve him from the prison in which El Salvador placed him. So much for that lie.

As for that absurd "criminal contempt charge" from the openly anti-Trump judge Boasberg, that was immediately voided by the Appeals Court:


...Not to mention the war crimes..
Now you're just being embarrassingly asinine.

I think you should look at something other than the AI he’s actively trying to help.

We’re talking about American citizens not asylum seekers.

You mean SCOTUS that Trump put half of in power and aren’t doing their job?

It’s really not. It’s 100’s of cases in multiple states, it’s not just one judge. Maybe you could google it?


Now you're just being embarrassingly asinine.
No you need to get your head out of the sand
 
Ah, the Orange sack of filth, hate and retribution has made another random utterance. All hail the mighty one and his unknowable ways.

Oops! Products excluded from those tariffs include: medicines and other pharmaceuticals, hundreds of different agricultural products, chemical reagants, lumber, industrial metals and minerals, crude oil, jet fuel, natural gas, and several thousand other products. You were wrong; admit it and move on.

We’re talking about American citizens not asylum seekers.
So your claim is that the Trump administration is deporting American citizens? Did you read that on the back of a cereal box?

You mean SCOTUS that Trump put half of in power and aren’t doing their job?
Why lie? Trump appointed only three of the current justices, and they -- along with the others striking down these absurd anti-Trump lawsuits -- are doing their job outstandingly.

Compare that to Obama who, in forty four separate cases, was ruled to be acting unconstitutionally by a 9-0 SCOTUS ruling -- even the justices he appointed himself slapped him down.

It’s really not. It’s 100’s of cases in multiple states, it’s not just one judge. Maybe you could google it?
How can you even look in the mirror spouting such ludicrous disinformation? You honestly believe Trump has been found guilty of criminal contempt "100s of times"? Seek help.
