I'm surprised he didn't pull a back muscle. Any sort of physical labor is very likely a foreign action for his body.

To be fair he bent and lifted with his knees which is kinda fascinating he'd have the level of awareness to do that. It's certainly not out of habit from repetition.

Trump meltdown in 3...2...1...

A federal trade court on Wednesday blocked President Donald Trump from imposing sweeping tariffs on imports under an emergency-powers law, swiftly throwing into doubt Trump’s signature set of economic policies that have rattled global financial markets, frustrated trade partners and raised broader fears about inflation intensifying and the economy slumping.

The ruling from a three-judge panel at the New York-based Court of International Trade came after several lawsuits arguing Trump has exceeded his authority and left U.S. trade policy dependent on his whims.

The ruling amounted to a categorical rejection of the legal underpinnings of some of Trump’s signature and most controversial actions of his four-month-old second term. The ruling faces certain appeal — and the Supreme Court will almost certainly be called upon to lend a final answer — but it casts a sharp blow.

“The Worldwide and Retaliatory Tariff Orders exceed any authority granted to the President by IEEPA to regulate importation by means of tariffs,” the court wrote, referring to the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act.

While tariffs must typically be approved by Congress, Trump has said he has the power to act to address the trade deficits he calls a national emergency.

He is facing at least seven lawsuits challenging the levies. The plaintiffs argued that the emergency powers law does not authorize the use of tariffs, and even if it did, the trade deficit is not an emergency because the U.S. has run a trade deficit with the rest of the world for 49 consecutive years.

The lawsuit was filed by a group of small businesses, including a wine importer, V.O.S. Selections, whose owner has said the tariffs are having a major impact and his company may not survive.

A dozen states also filed suit, led by Oregon. “This ruling reaffirms that our laws matter, and that trade decisions can’t be made on the president’s whim,” Attorney General Dan Rayfield said.

Musk is out. Don't know if DOGE is done but Musk is no longer a special advisor to the President and has no role with the government. One of countless stupid things this government has done.

What a rambling old fool, how is his cognitive ability not constantly questioned when he talks in circles like that, making no point or sense?

Where is that coronary, come on, any day now.

I dont believe that. Musk bought that spot, maybe less visible but he will still be in trump ear.

The orange baboon has mentioned Biden 580 times since taking office in Jan, that was the count as of Apr 23rd. Talk about derangement syndrome, he's such a piece of ####.
