Alright, so there’s this whole legal thing happening with Donald Trump’s tariffs. A judge in Florida, appointed by Trump himself, thinks the dude has the power to slap tariffs on stuff all by himself. This judge, T. Kent Wetherell II, is basing his decision on some court case from the 1970s. But he’s not fully giving the green light to Trump’s tariff extravaganza. It’s more like a yellow light with a hint of green, you know what I mean?
So, this planner company from Florida, Emily Ley Paper, is like, “Nah, Trump can’t just do whatever he wants with tariffs.” They’re suing because they think Trump doesn’t have the authority to play tariff king. But Judge Wetherell is like, “Hold up, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 says Trump can do this tariff thing if he has a good reason.” And apparently, stopping drugs from coming into the country and fixing the trade balance is a good enough reason for Trump.
Wetherell is transferring the case to another court, but he’s low-key giving Trump a thumbs up on the whole tariff situation. It’s like a small victory for Trump, even though there are a bunch of other lawsuits breathing down his neck about these tariffs. But hey, it’s the first time a judge is saying Trump might be onto something with these tariffs. So, who knows what’s gonna happen next? Not me, that’s for sure.
