How It Actually Works

O’Leary: It's not a great day for me. I got phone calls from our customers, from our lenders, and from our shareholders… They all want their money back now… what am I supposed to do? My head is getting squeezed. pic.twitter.com/DNOMYktTMJ

Hear that dripping? That’s my heart, bleeding for you.

O’Leary: It would have been better on a practical basis to have not done this I think…

Hunt: The Supreme Court or the President?

O’Leary: The Supreme Court! They caused a nightmare. What am I supposed to do next? pic.twitter.com/i3IywYcZ3n

Wait for the courts or Congress to establish the mechanism? You know, how government works?

O’Leary: No one ever thinks about the small business. Where does he sit in this now? He has to somehow go get this back from treasury—the $150 billion—distribute it to the people that paid it or he won't be compliant. I wish SCOTUS would’ve called me. pic.twitter.com/agiwjfBO07

WOW! And I thought Trump had a huge ego!

O’Leary: There's nothing wrong with reciprocal tariffs. If a country adds a 10% vat tax and we don't call it vat tax in the U.S., we'll just do a 10% tariff—there's nothing wrong with that. pic.twitter.com/rEWSXLWLBz

No, there isn’t. The issue here is, who has the authority to impose that tax? The Supreme Court today ruled that the POTUS doesn’t have that power.  EOD.

As I said, talk to Congress. That’s the way our federal governments works.
