Donald Trump thinks he’s Ronald McDonald in charge of McDonald’s without realizing that he’s merely a mascot of the Epstein class whose avatar is the Hamburglar.
Author and organizer Jared Yates Sexton made that analogy during our conversation, where we discussed the corrupt Supreme Court breaking with their fealty to hold Trump in check over his destructive and reckless tariff policy. In a stunning 6-3 decision, Judge Robert rebuked Trump for exceeding his authority when he imposed tariffs on our allies, which didn’t decrease the large trade deficit, but only served to alienate America and increase the price of goods.
Over 90% of those tariffs, which are taxes, were paid by American consumers and companies, which surprised no one who has even a rudimentary understanding of basic economics. Unfortunately, we are ruled by a stubborn, ignorant vulgarian who doesn’t understand that relationships are based on reciprocity and that a trade deficit where we obtain goods and services from poorer countries actually benefits us.
The same Supreme Court that gave Trump “absolute immunity” and a Get Out of Jail Free pass for his numerous crimes now realizes that their flawed weapon, who has loyalty to nothing and no one, will eventually turn on them. He referred to the three conservative justices who ruled against him as “fools and lapdogs,” “an embarrassment to their families,” “a disgrace to our nation,” and “very unpatriotic and disloyal toour Constitution* ME.”
