It hasn't happened yet. All the big money in America says that it will either never happen or won't last longer than a few weeks.

I'm not saying that I don't agree with the apparent logic, but the same argument was made about tariffs, yet here they are and there they staid.

By all accounts those arguments were pretty correct, no? The tariff rollout was delayed multiple times, changed multiple times. What we have now doesn't very much look like what Trump announced back in March/April.

And the tariffs may disappear soon, depending on SCOTUS. Not that I depend on SCOTUS doing the right thing anymore, but I'm willing to be pleasantly surprised on this one.

Huh? What we have now looks almost exactly like what Trump announced back in April, except for the (admittedly important) USMCA exemption. What other differences do you perceive?
