it is obvious that Trump is setting out to enfeeble the justice system so as to gain "unitary executive" powers. in short he is directly attacking the US Constitution. this also suggests that Trump is concerned he loses the en banc VOS et al Federal Appeals Court ruling.

if Trump is motivated to send such messages then the timing to trade this is now, for Trump is the driving factor for the market. he lays it out clearly. VOS "loss" means markets plunge and also the risk of Trump reaction.

while I can only hope given my book, such as it is now, we have a 1929 outcome given the CIT ruling eliminating his use of IEEPA emergency powers and forcing refunds of majority of tariffs to date will drop market by .... by what?

if the en banc court rules to affirm the CIT decision, it is a possibility the Supreme Court will not hear the case on appeal - but so far SCOTUS has heard all of Trump's approaches.

i think a ruling to affirm the CIT decision on VOS et al will drop the markets then Trump's zaniness acts like a multiplier and increases that drop. if IEEPA usage is lost by Trump, then likely he loses section 232 as well.

section 232 were successfully used by Trump ( TEA 1962 Section 232) to raise tariffs on many goods but especially steel and aluminum. a court case to reverse these tariffs under Biden was turned down. but now, if IEEPA cannot be used Section 232 is next. down 15% in SP500?
