"The U.S. Supreme Court was given the wrong numbers. The 'unwind' in the event of a negative decision on Tariffs, would be, including investments made, to be made, and return of funds, in excess of 3 Trillion Dollars,"
"That would truly become an insurmountable National Security Event, and devastating to the future of our Country - Possibly non-sustainable!"
"literally destroy"
A $2,000 dividend to most Americans was promised from tariff revenue and a court loss was warned could "literally destroy" the country. A claim was made that an "unwind" after a negative Supreme Court decision, including investments and returns, would exceed $3 trillion and become an insurmountable national security event. The $3 trillion figure followed an earlier assertion that a loss would cost $2 trillion in refunds and lost investments. Tariff collections in fiscal 2025 were about $195 billion, with recent monthly collections near $35 billion (~$420 billion annually). Trade pacts call for more than $1.5 trillion in future investments, not upfront payments. If tariffs are struck down, refunds could become a separate legal and political fight.
