QOTD -- "I Can Do Anything I Want"

 

"... Can’t charge one dollar to any country under IEEPA, not one dollar, I assume to protect other countries. This must have been done to protect those other countries. Certainly not the United States of America, which they should be interested in protecting. That’s what they’re supposed to be protecting.

"But I am allowed to cut off any and all trade or business with that same country. In other words, I can destroy the trade, I can destroy the country. I’m even allowed to impose a foreign country-destroying embargo. I can embargo, I can do anything I want, but I can’t charge one dollar because that’s not what it says, and that’s not the way it even reads. I can do anything I want to do to them, but I can’t charge any money. So I’m allowed to destroy the country, but I can’t charge them a little fee. I could give them a little two cent fee, but I cannot charge under any circumstances. I cannot charge them anything..."   --economics-and-Constitution-illiterate Malignant Fascist fantasizing about destroying countries (including his own, Q.E.D.) at an unhinged (even for him) news conference today after the Republican-majority Supreme Court ruled that his tariffs were un-Constitutional.  The megalomaniac also rants about the three Republican Justices who defied him being "fools and lapdogs," about what a great success his tariffs have been (they're a big tax on Americans), about winning the 2024 election by millions of votes even though Democrats cheated (edged Harris by 1.5% of the votes cast), and so much more soggy brain yapping, gaslighting, and sheer moronic ignorance.  If you have the intestinal fortitude to browse through the rest of the transcript, be prepared for the madness.
