I am putting on some “false modesty” here, because I really doubt the United States Supreme Court will do anything but refuse to endorse the “constitutionality” of Donald Trump's sweeping “tariffs regime.” They are supposed to begin arguments in November 2025. I heard that a decision will not be announced until June 2026. “The Supreme Court's decision on the legality of tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) is widely anticipated to be announced in June 2026. While some called for an expedited ruling, the court typically releases decisions for cases argued in the fall by the following summer.”

I do not intend this article to go on very long. I will keep it brief. The fundamental issue I will raise here is Donald Trump's “authority” to impose these tariffs – tariffs on everything. He most definitely does not have the authority to do this. The United States is a Republic, it is not a dictatorship or one-man rule. The head of state in such a Republic must fulfill his obligation to consult with the other representatives of the people. Trump believes he is some “stable genius” and while he does effectively get his policy ideas resonating with the public – to some degree he does achieve this – overall it does it appear he is very much incompetent as a policymaker. My colleagues in the economics profession all agree with me that tariffs are stupid policy. I am not going to argue here why they are stupid policy; I have done so already numerous times, so you need to just go examine my arguments.

Trump is a crackpot, that's obvious. And, he's a criminal. The Supreme Court will agree with me, the Trump tariffs will be struck down. I also do not believe there should be any tariffs on steel and aluminum. Ultimately, there should be no tariffs at all, across the board. And, I will get my way. So, the Supreme Court will defer to me. And, I do not think there will be much of an argument. The “justices” know that I am right, and they will do what I say. It's that simple.

Two previous court decisions went in my favor and that's why the Supreme Court is being asked their “judicial opinion.”

“The two courts that ruled former President Donald Trump's tariffs illegal in 2025 were the U.S. Court of International Trade and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Both courts found that Trump overstepped his authority when invoking the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose tariffs on many of the nation's trading partners.”

As to whether Trump has some form of dementia, I would say that he most certainly does. His father died of dementia. Most of the time the old man Trump is “talking out of his ass.” He's obese and stupid, and he mostly just expresses his ideas in a crude and unsophisticated way. He was way too scared to be on the telephone with me in January 2008 – with the recorder on – and he is most definitely too scared now. Apparently, he's been talking tariffs since the early 1990s. Joe Biden was senile, and yes, Trump is senile, but Trump's senility is less obvious.

Yes, the American electorate is suffering, and there is a lot of outrage spreading across the country. Herbert Hoover is the model here, and the Republican Party is repeating history. This is a boring debate – there is no debate! Yes, taxation has to be considered by the Congress, not by the executive branch. Yes, that's obvious, and that's the superficial reason why the Supreme Court will smash to pieces Trump's delusion that he rules the United States like a king or dictator. The US Treasury will have to issue refunds to all the victims of these tariffs. And that's Americans. Trump is a “golf course developer” not really a head of state. He's a bullshit artist, and actually he's not too good at bullshitting now because of his dementia, incipient dementia.

The Supreme Court judges will understand that my rational arguments against tariffs carry a lot of weight. They understand this now. They are going to go through the motions of “arguing this out” but I assure everyone that it has already been decided. Policy is made by me, and the reason it is made by me is because I actually make logical and rational arguments.

So the Scott Bessent character [US Treasury secretary], who is “married” to a man and who has “adopted children,” will have to deal with this imbroglio. What a Trump shit show this is.

What is going on of course is that everyone in policy-making circles in Washington is saying: “Yeah, we are requesting a judicial review of the tariff imbroglio.” And they are all winking at each other as they say this. Hilarious. 2 down, one to go. The obese bullshit artist is just going to have to realize his cunning plan to drive down Wall Street some 50% is not going to work out. His Jewish billionaire buddies are going to be deprived of this mother of all trades. What a pity!
