Gorsuch (or his legal Aid) definitely used Chat GPT for that one. Those words are pure woke hubris to the modern MAGA movement where the legislative branch is supposed to serve at the pleasure of the dear leader because "elections have consequences".
Trump was elected by the people of all 50 States in a historic Landslide. He has a mandate to shape America exactly as he desires. He brought unprecedented Wealth to America through historic Tariffs and deregulation.
Do that for Bloomberg for 2001 thru 2012 (while mayor of NYC).
Something like $1 billion to $36 billion.
Sources have been rewritten to claim the increase was "only" $4 billion to $22 billion.
Trump's corruption is massive but still a lightweight vs. Bloomy
Not a great look for either one, but Bloomberg's increase was more due to his company increasing his value while Trump ran a massive crypto scam all over you guys who worship him.
"Growth in the US slowed at the end of last year (2025), as consumer spending slackened and the federal government shut down. The world's largest economy grew at an annual pace of 1.4%% in the three months to December, falling back from a robust 4.4% in the prior quarter. It capped a turbulent year for the US economy, which has been buffeted by new tariffs, a crackdown on immigration, cuts to government spending and persistent inflation. Overall the economy grew 2.2% in 2025, performing better than many had anticipated in the face of those pressures."
"Out of 350 million Americans, MAGA looked at this geriatric gelatin dancing to the YMCA, wearing carrot-puke make up, trying to pronounce one syllable words, while utterly confused by batteries, windmills, and sexual consent, and they said, "This is the chosen one."

We warned Democrats their shutdown would cost us growth — and they kept government shut down for 43 days anyway.
"The Government thus concedes, as it must, that the President enjoys no inherent authority to impose tariffs during peacetime. And it does not defend the challenged tariffs as an exercise of the President’s warmaking powers. The United States, after all, is not at war with every nation in the world."
Keeping it simple...
International Diplomacy is hard and real work. Donnie doesn't do hard and real work. He wanted to use his tariffs in place of diplomacy.
Trump's tariffs were his weirdest stunt to date. First, I don't think anyone has ever figured out his profit motive on this. There has to be one, but I haven't read anywhere that someone figured it out.
Second, that he was able to sell this demented massive tax sh!t to millions of people who, at least at one point in their lives called themselves conservatives, is also inexplicable. What the hell happened to these people's minds?
Third, does anyone really know if any of these tariffs ever went into effect? During certain periods, Trump was yelling about new ones, then dropping them days later. The Learning Resources opinion reflects the confusion everyone else has over whether and how much of this stuff ever actually existed. All Trump's tariff announcements seemed so haphazard and hysterical, like throwing spaghetti at Giuliani and seeing what sticks on his pants. Were there actually any new tariffs? If so, did they come anywhere near approaching the rates and scope Trump was saying? The latter answer is obviously No.
Fourth, the Trump administration kept saying (quite illogically) permanent tariffs were needed to restore American manufacturing. A rather dumb idea at best, but at least it was an idea that could be applied consistently to see if it works. But soon, in practice, he abandoned that idea and the tariffs/taxes seemed to have morphed into a negotiating tool in a select few trade agreements, with Trump stomping around pretending he had invented the concept of economic leverage that's been around since the Founding days.
This entire tariff thing has been so ridiculous that it's hard to wrap your head around it. Hopefully the SCOTUS has permanently ended it.

If Chuck Schumer and Co. think the government shutdown will hurt Trump/the economy, then shut it down and screw the American people!
"The Government reads IEEPA to give the President power to unilaterally impose unbounded tariffs. On this reading, moreover, the President is unconstrained by the significant procedural limitations in other tariff statutes and free to issue a dizzying array of modifications at will. All it takes to unlock that extraordinary power is a Presidential declaration of emergency, which the Government asserts is unreviewable."

Trump's net worth in May 2024 was about $8 billion, long before his re-election and long before any crypto shenanigans.
