WE'RE SCREWED!
The promise
Trump warned that an adverse Supreme Court ruling on his emergency tariff powers would create an enormous financial problem. He combined the prospect of tariff refunds with claims about investments encouraged by the tariffs. His post suggested that the resulting exposure could reach trillions of dollars and be extremely difficult to calculate. The argument supporting his warning was that a major reversal could disrupt government revenue and business planning. The objection was that collected duties and hypothetical investment effects are different categories and should not automatically be added into one repayment bill. This was a prediction about the consequences of a ruling rather than a promise to take a particular new action.
