It's difficult to rank the magnitude of all the lies that RFK jr has told – they've been numerous, manipulative AF, and deadly – because he's trying to cull Americans, en masse. But the idea that Trump has any empathy is so absolutely manipulative – a dangerous lie. Trump has ZERO empathy. NONE.

So appeals court strikes down tariffs but leaves in place pending Trump appeal to SCOTUS. Does that mean, if SCOTUS upholds lower courts and throws out tariffs, that Americans can sue for the billions of dollars collected? What a scam this whole thing is. Stop the tariffs now if unconstitutional.
