FedEx sues for refund of Trump tariffs, days after Supreme Court ruling

Trump thought he had "his" SCOTUS justices in his back pocket, which he does in the rocket docket. This time around the court had months to research the issues & he had his ass handed back to him. He figured he'd win this case & refunds wouldn't be an issue. Oops!

Now, they're going to be sued into oblivion over those refunds. And they're going to lose.
It's easy to refund....every tariff paid is recorded, with a paper trail in to their coffers.
 
Yep, that's what Biden did when it came to student loan forgiveness.

I wonder how many who were gung-ho for the Tea Party and stance on lowering taxes a mere decade & half ago, favored the illegal confiscation of money from these corporate plaintiffs that sued. It sure is weird.
Two words.

American Politics

Okay, that's actually four words, and you know, however many more this sentence is adding.
 
These lawsuits are designed to prevent Trump from giving American voters a refund and getting them motivated to support his policies and vote in the midterms.

That is my take. Which is why Trump said "they didnt even give direction on what to do with the funds". The S.C does not want to appear to be over reaching and piss off voters when Trump says "the S.C is trying to prevent me from giving Americans a check from the tariffs". The businesses are basically greedy and playing politics.




Yet Stain chirp on like zoo apes.
 
It's temporary....his new tariffs can only last 150 days and no longer than that without Congress voting on them to be extended, which will not happen.

And other than sending the stock market downward, his knee jerk temporary tariffs give him no leverage in negotiating with other countries, because they end in 150 days.....so WHY he did this is just plain insane, and it's hurting us.
Nonsense.
 
What do you guys think is gonna happen here?
As a twice Trump voter I do not want a refund to be issued to FedEx. Yes, the tariffs were illegal, but FedEx should let bygones be bygones in my opinion.
So, let's put it this way.

Trump puts in place something illegal, it costs you money, then you can't get it back, even though it was essentially STEALING. Would you let it lie?

Trump doesn't take time to understand how things work. He just says "I want to do this". Before he didn't have yes men in place, so they told him what he was doing wrong, and sometimes he still did it.

Now everything is "yes Mr Trump".

There is $130 billion dollars that will have to be refunded "if and when" the companies go to court and ask/demand a refund!

Will consumers and businesses be refunded from the unlawful tariffs?

One of the reasons Trump has given for imposing tariffs is that the money they bring in goes to the US Treasury, helping boost the country's economy.
The US government has collected tens of billions of dollars from companies bringing in the foreign products, by many reports. Estimates say the number is around $130bn (£96bn).
While the Supreme Court's ruling determined that Trump's IEEPA tariffs were not legal, it did not offer guidance on returning the money to those who had paid the taxes.
Trump told reporters that he expected any potential refunds to be locked up in litigation for years.
After the decision was released, Treasury Secretary Bessent also said the issue of refunds could drag on for years.

**** bygones...

Trump acted with impunity and will do again... **** him...

He came out the door enacted another Tariff which is illegal again..


Let's be clear this SC decision should have been 9-0... It was clearly illegal..

His attack on the SC afterwards was disgraceful, so **** him... He lost...

Trump is now one of the most unpopular Presidents in modern history and he is acting like he is speaking for the majority and there is no checks on his power...

Let's be clear... The President can't issue tariffs unilaterally on countries, that is congress's job...

It was an illegal tax... Taxing is Congress's job...

Trump doesn't have the power to tax the people and redistribute to anyone...

No one is forcing anyone to purchase a product. It is a fee for FOREIGN MADE PRODUCTS.

Yes, he does have the authority. Just as Reagan and others did. His issue was how broadly he applied it, this upset the elites and China-First crowd who want easy money selling out the U.S Middle Class for slave labour.

Man, the CEOs of these companies are in a fix.

Are you going to defend your company and your stockholders like this, when every business knows that hurting Trump's feelings could put him in insane revenge mode against you specifically?

That's a tough call right there.

I assume one refund system could be for FedEx not to pay future amounts until they total $1b

Trump likely would use his DOJ or Whitehouse lawyers on our dime, and sue them to prolong not paying, and try to bankrupt them first.....
 
SCOTUS ruled on the constitutionality of the tariffs. That's it. It's not their job to lead the orange fuckup by the hand & school him on how to fix another one of his deranged pipe dreams that went swirling in the bowl.

He broke it, he can figure out how to fix it.
wow, can't believe I'm going to say this to you, you are correct. There was nothing on refunds. This is all democrat nonsense as it always is. Way to go!!! you told the truth for once.

/------/ It was a narrow decision, illegal only for the law Trump used.
