Ari Melber Slams Trump Over Tariff Loss: The King Like Powers That He Has Seized ‘Claiming Emergencies,’ Stops Today

RUSH EXCERPT:
MELBER: "Maybe, you know, when your TV screen sometimes comes in mirror backwards and maybe it’s like kings on like he’s into the king thing, but there aren’t enough votes for that. I thought it was striking the interplay across the court. You read that key line in your setup here, Nicole, that this is about power. It’s not about economic theory. And the court isn’t saying that they are going to be drawn into."

WALLACE: "An economic policy."

MELBER: "An economic policy parsing of different trade states, and that that can happen if you work with the Congress. But the king like powers that this president has seized in multiple areas, always claiming emergencies stop today. And I was reminded of a very simple lyric no one man should have all that power. And it is that simple. I mean, there were there were concurrences. This was one of those rulings that if you go through it, there’s a, there’s a3b, they agree on part, they disagree on part. But the headline is we don’t have a king. The tax and tariff authority is very clearly something that the whole government has to work on together. And another word for that is democracy."
