Trump kicks everyone out and hides in fear - Pondering Politics [View all]

Here are the key points from the video:

- Supreme Court struck down Trump's "Liberation Day" tariffs, with the conservative 6-3 supermajority ruling against him — a rare rebuke of Trump by the court.
- Trump called the ruling "a disgrace" and claims to have a "backup plan", though details weren't specified at the time.
- Alternative tariff mechanisms exist, with Justice Kavanaugh's dissent outlining a roadmap via other statutes (Trade Expansion Act of 1962, Trade Act of 1974, Tariff Act of 1930) that Trump could potentially use.
- Trump kicked the press out of his breakfast meeting with governors, reportedly to speak "candidly" — which Jessiah attributes to fear of public embarrassment.
- Tariffs have been broadly unpopular, and Jessiah argues Trump could use this ruling as a political "off-ramp" ahead of midterms, though he doubts Trump will take it.
- Colorado Governor Jared Polis was initially excluded from the meeting due to a dispute over the detention of election denier Tina Peters, with Jessiah criticizing Polis for potentially pardoning her.
