And something like this will set the US as a standard bearer of international corporations a century

Breaking news: Donald Trump has called for US companies to stop reporting quarterly results, adding that a shift to publishing figures twice a year will save them cash and allow executives to focus on their businesses.


And the GOP please end this charade before it impacts our great grandchildren and not just our children?

Trump’s tariff tax is starting to hit people very personally and directly now. It’s a complete mess and expensive. So much winning.


https://www.nbcnews.com/business/consumer/surprise-tariff-bills-de-minimis-rcna229375

To comply with the new de minimis rules, a wave of countries have halted shipments to the U.S. That’s caused postal traffic into the U.S. to decline by some 80%, according to a United Nations agency.

But many orders are still flowing. And since the new de minimis rule began taking effect, social media platforms have been filled with accounts of U.S. customers receiving shock bills from major shippers like DHL, FedEx and UPS, having received no notice about the charges from the foreign merchant they’d ordered from.

The shippers, in turn, are being inundated with messages from customers disputing the charges, along with return-to-sender requests as the customers refuse shipments to avoid having to pay the bills.

Trump doesn't need to present good arguments or evidence to the SCOTUS shadow docket. They just need to dress it up so it doesn't appear to order SCOTUS to side with the administration, which they certainly will.

“The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court on Wednesday to quickly overturn a lower-court ruling that invalidated most of the sweeping tariffs on goods from dozens of nations that form the core of the president’s economic policy.

If the high court decides to hear the appeal, the case would be a blockbuster test of a centerpiece of President Donald Trump’s agenda, one that could have huge impacts for consumers, businesses, the U.S. economy and global trade.

U.S. Solicitor General D. John Sauer asked the justices to decide by Sept. 10 whether to take the case and urged them to schedule oral arguments by the first week of November, setting up an expedited timeline to render a decision.”

Shipping services are hitting “pause” on shipments to the U.S. this week because of the Trump Tax. That’s over $1 billion in goods annually. Lots of people will notice this one.


Straight from FOX so MAGA knows it’s true.

https://www.foxbusiness.com/economy/european-asian-postal-services-halt-shipments-us-end-tariff-exemption.amp

Postal services in Europe and around the world plan to halt shipping merchandise to the U.S. as the Trump administration’s end of the de minimus tariff exemption goes into effect.

The "de minimus" exemption allowed international carriers to ship goods valued under $800 to the U.S. without paying any duties.

The White House announced the end of the exemption weeks ago, linking it to fentanyl and other illicit drugs coming into the U.S.


Will be interesting to see the fallout from this next week. Came into effect today.

Somehow the Supreme Court will rule the US Constitution in plain language to be irrelevant in granting the president the sole authority to levy taxes and tariffs.
