    I’m pretty sure they were going to do that anyway just because it will be a huge windfall for businesses who were able to pass tariff costs along to consumers but will be the only ones getting refunded anyway, but, yeah, Trump’s aggressive idiocy is really making it easy for them

      Yeah that could give him the boost he needs to ride the economy to the midterms. It will take a very long time to get to the same level of tariffs if they can’t use IEEPA.
