The latest 15% global tariffs levied by Trump must be renewed by Congress in 150 days.

[OrlandoDem2]

Does he really think Congress will extend them in July right before a mid term election when they’re all up for reelection?

I don’t see his political calculus here.

Thoughts?

1. No long term thinking when you are scared.

Trapped rat.

2. He'll just announce them expired and renew the next day

There's no enforcement. DOJ won't do anything.

3. 150 days will cause a whole lot of damage. It's half a year. We are screwed.

4. He can impose "new" 150 day Section 122 tariffs when the current ones expire.

His WH lawyers will craft some kind of language defining them as “new” and different from the current tariffs.

5. he'll just keep making shit up to keep putting tariffs in, and each time will be a year for SCOTUS to decide if its ok

6. He'll sign another executive order and restart the clock. Rinse and repeat
