Trump Hospitalized with Dreaded TDS: Tariff Derangement Syndrome
“I’m in charge here!” President Donald J. Trump shouted — reminiscent of the late, not-so-great Alexander Haig — as he was carried out by medics to be taken to the hospital with a suspected onslaught of Tariff Derangement Syndrome — TDS! “You can’t do this!” the presidential shouting continued as he was wheeled out of the Oval Office. “We have the hottest nation in the world. There’s $18 trillion in foreign investments at work right now. I negotiated eight peace settlements. I’ll get those ingrates on the Supreme Court who think they can do this to me. I’ll raise tariffs 1,000 percent. I’ll show them!” The often-fatal disease struck the president just hours after the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that he lacked authority to raise tariffs under IEEPA, the International Economic Emergency Powers Act, and after he took to the TV to denounce the justices who voted against him, vowing tariff revenge. Trump is only the second president to be overcome by TDS. The other was William McKinley, who also levied high tariffs as a means of American economic might. Trump often cited McKinley as he raged against other nations that charged the U.S. higher tariffs than we charged them.
