What a dumb framing of a federal court declaring Trump's obviously illegal tariffs illegal — positioning *Trump* as the source of stability and obeying the law as the agent of chaos that could screw things up! www.axios.com/2025/08/29/t...

The new global trade order is already "built," see, so this ruling is disruptive! Giant illegal taxes on Americans are "a major new source of cash for the govt" this crazy court is "cutting off"! Taking Trump's "GREAT DEPRESSION" nonsense at face value! www.axios.com/2025/08/29/t...

Just an amazing case of regulatory capture, but for journalists — ostensibly independent critics who instead end up defaulting to a defense of the current incumbent power.

It's a backdoor tax on most Americans. Would they still cheer if it was a straightforward income tax increase on the 95% of us who aren't wealthy & call it "a major new source of cash for the govt?"

Not to mention the choice of photo. That's the poster that confuses trade balances with tariff rates and goes on to claim that the island full of penguins is charging the US tariffs. But it's just a "list of tariffs" according to the caption.

Instructive to see how they’re going to cover his ass when the hurt on consumers becomes truly undeniable.

this is using fear of large numbers. $30 billion a month sounds like a huge amount of money to most people but total federal monthly revenue is around $400 billion, so a haircut of $30 billion, while possibly significant, will not inevitably cause a "GREAT DEPRESSION"

i really wish journalists would express revenue figures in terms of percentage of federal revenue or of GDP instead of unprocessed numbers, since most people are incapable of consistently reasoning about numbers larger than a million

The source of cash is a tax on the US consumer. They should say that.
