Trump's Second Term

Why should anyone be surprised about that? Remember, its the same group that said the president is above the law.

I assume you are referring to the recent ruling about deportations under the Enemy Aliens act. In that case, the results were... mixed. Deportations were allowed, but supposedly the supreme court put certain restrictions in place... requiring hearings within a certain time frame, and setting the venue for such hearings.

From: https://ca.news.yahoo.com/us-supreme-court-backs-trump-224913571.html
The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday allowed Donald Trump to pursue deportations of alleged Venezuelan gang members using a 1798 law that historically has been employed only in wartime as part of the Republican president's hardline approach to immigration, but with certain limits.... Detainees "must receive notice after the date of this order that they are subject to removal under the Act. The notice must be afforded within a reasonable time and in such a manner as will allow them to actually seek habeas relief in the proper venue before such removal occurs," the majority wrote.... Lee Gelernt, a lawyer with ACLU and lead counsel representing the detainees, framed the court's decision as a win for his side.

Of course the problem is, will the Trump administration actually follow the rules set by the supreme court. I can see a situation where they ignore the rules, still deport people without proper hearings, and the supreme court turns a deaf ear to the rules they themselves set.

One slight correction - president Trump and republican presidents are above the law.
 
REPORTER: Can you explain the WH's evolution from 'this is not a negotiation on tariffs' to 'countries should push us and start negotiations'?

LEAVITT: Both things can be true at the same time
 
WARNER: Can you explain how it helps natl security or our trade balance - I loved your fancy Greek formula which was bad math on steroids - how with a trade surplus Australia got hit with a 10% tariff as well?

GREER: Australia has the lowest rate available

WARNER: We have a trade surplus!

GREER: They ban our beef. They ban our pork.

Leavitt: "When America is punched, he punches back harder. That's why there will be 104% tariffs going into effect on China tonight at midnight. But the president believes that Xi and China want to make deal, they just don't know how to get that started."

And that right there is why stocks have given up their gains on the day

Sounds like it.

Brexiteers claimed that the EU would bend to the UKs wishes because "they need us more than we need them", in part because of the UK's trade deficit with the EU. Reality has demonstrated that this is not the case.

I expect the US to have a similar learning experience.
