Tariffs are not complicated. In France, Amazon cannot discount new books by more than 5 percent. The result: France has bookstores. In America, Amazon can undercut bookstores by charging whatever it wants. The result: America barely has one national bookstore chain. Tariffs are imposed in one form or another throughout the world, because they make sense.
The fact is that Canada applies tariffs as a strategy to reduce the importation of US published books. Canada is actually implementing a new 25% tariff on books from the US in the near future. I guess Amazon will be selling a lot more books to Canadians. 😏
Excellent explanation of how the sausage actually gets made, I didn’t even have a working understanding of tariffs but if POTUS used the tool it is fine with me.
This is a win. Not because the Court helped Trump—but because it exposed the battlefield. He still has tariffs to raise revenue. He still has Section 232, 301, 122, and more to cut deals and squeeze bad actors. What he lost was speed, not strength. And now he knows exactly who the institutional skeptics are. The Court showed its cards. The dissent showed the path forward. Trump thrives when boxed in. He builds around obstacles. Slower process means stronger record and tougher tariffs. The leverage remains. The message stands: America negotiates from power, not apology.
That is somewhat comforting, but the Left thrives within hurdles, and the Presidents other tariff avenues are fraught with time consuming technicalities and hurdles, which the Left will undoubtedly abuse to their absolute maximum benefit.
What a mess this SCOTUS decision hath wrought. Shame on Barrett, Gorsuch and Roberts for having created it.
And If only we had an actually effective Congress who could enact legislation clearly giving the President they authority he needs to save this country from ruin, but,alas, they’re the very ones who got this country into this devastating economic nightmare in the
Good explanation. Appreciate it! 👍
So someone tell me the moment when the US Chamber of Commerce gained the membership of the CCP? Paying back tariffs is wrong. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/chamber-commerce-tariffs-ruling-welcome-181623119.html
Trust President Trump to be a few steps ahead. The administration anticipated this and were ready to alter course immediately.

So tell me why American books priced higher in Canada?
Because Canada isn’t France.

Justice Thomas also had a good response in his dissension. Both were constitutionally sound.
