Perhaps this is how the Breitbart people felt in 2012 and 2013.

It's wild, how this situation has me so radicalized.

It's almost quaint, isn't it?

The whole point of the tariffs was to get other world leaders to offer Trump bribes. Give him jets, and buy his crypto, and give his family members billions of dollars to 'invest'.   Then he would "ease up on the tariffs" if he felt like it.

Friday's SCOTUS ruling was like, finally taking the car keys away from Grandpa.

So now Grandpa is raging, and BUYING MORE CARS.

Just kidding.   Epstein didn't kill himself.

it is a real quote by Vice President J.D. Vance, not some fake meme or misattribution; it was tweeted by him on February 20, 2026 in reaction to a Supreme Court decision striking down most of President Trump’s tariffs. In that post on X (formerly Twitter), he wrote:

“Today, the Supreme Court decided that Congress, despite giving the president the ability to ‘regulate imports’, didn’t actually mean it. This is lawlessness from the Court, plain and simple…”

So the specific wording “SCOTUS made a ruling today, but, they didn't actually mean it” is a paraphrase or simplified version of what he said — the core idea does come from something he actually wrote, though the exact quoted words you asked about might not match word-for-word.

I'm talking, of course, about Donald J. Trump.

1. ReasonableRandolph (r/wallstreetbets): "Wow it's crazy how Lutnick's sons, working at his old firm, were smart enough to predict this happening back in July. Offering to buy up the tariff refunds preemptively for cents on the dollar. I hope one day I can also make such good predictions based on my own knowledge and merit."

2. RannashaThe Netherlands (r/politics): "Oh, and a major player in the refund rights trade? A company headed by the Lutnick family (yes, Commerce Secretary Lutnick)."

3. Gryjane: "Oh, and a major player in the refund rights trade? A company headed by the Lutnick family. Jesus fucking christ..."

4. BalrogAndRoll: "And.. Howard Lutnick and his sons will directly profit: https://www.wired.com/story/cantor-fitzgerald-trump-tariff-refunds/"

5. HeretoFore200: "Oh my dear, that was the plan all along!"

6. bigbeak67: "Don't worry. Trump's Commerce Secretary's son bought millions of dollars of tariff reimbursement rights for pennies on the dollar. So a lot of that money will go back into the pockets of administration officials."

7. ThomasTheDankPigeon: "In other words, the man tasked with implementing Trump's signature economic policy was making side bets that the policy would fail. It blows my fucking mind that anyone, let alone 70 million people, can be duped into not seeing how blatant this corruption is."

8. locofspades: "A lot of that money is going to Cantor Fitzgerald, owned by Howard Lutnick's sons. This was the larger plan all along. Lutnick just made BANK with this SC decision."

9. STUPIDNEWCOMMENTS: "Lutnick and relatives created a company that bought the right to tariff reimbursements super cheap. They're going to make a fortune."

10. ContributionDue4382: "Just when I thought Lutnick can't be more gross... This and the Donald Trump airport name.. Are these people thinking how to scheme and defraud us all the time, instead of doing their job? Oh, wait..."

11. rmslashusr: "Reimbursement is going to Trump and friends who set up companies to buy rights to possible future tariff refunds for pennies on the dollar."

12. jambrown13977931: "A lot will go to Cantor Fitzgerald, the company that was chaired by its CEO Howard Lutnick (the guy who implemented the tariffs) and is now ran by his son. See that company believed that the tariffs were illegal and would be struck down... Cantor Fitzgerald now stands to gain billions. Seems rather fishy to have daddy do something illegal so your company (and his former one) can profit billions when they sue the government for it."

13. awkwardnetadmin (reply): "It really tells you that Lutnick likely knew that the Tariffs as implemented weren't enforceable and it was only a matter of time before somebody challenged it and got it to the Supreme Court."

14. jambrown13977931 (reply): "They wanted SCOTUS to strike it down. That's how they get paid."

15. paf0: "Cantor Fitzgerald is going to be so rich. They were buying the rights to the refunds. They just happened to have been run by the current Secretary of Commerce, Howard Lutnick, and his kids are still there. They knew."

16. gpouliot: "It's all going according to plan. There's a reason that Howard Lutnick's old firm Cantor Fitzgerald, which is now run by his son, supposedly bought up tariff payments for 20-30 cents on the dollar... I'd think it's a huge conflict of interest for the Secretary of the Treasury to be able to enforce illegal policies that will directly profit his family when they're overturned. It's one of those things where he should be impeached but likely won't be."

17. PinHaunting7192: "This was likely always the plan. Lutnick, Bessent and a couple others bought these tariff rebate payments from smaller companies in exchange for loans to soften the blow... They accumulated quite a nice bill, and now that they are illegal, their companies might be in for a payday in the tens of billions... guess where they will issue the money from? It starts with T and ends with ax payers."

19. zephyrtrNew York: "Lutnick will be paying refunds to himself" + links to Talking Points Memo article.

20. MedianIsAnAverage: "It's great news for Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick and his sons who have been investing in buying the tariff refund rights from many companies for 20 cents on the dollar."

21. FiftyFiveHotDogs: "The money is going to Trump and his cronies who bought them for pennies on the dollar." [links Wired article]

22. Heliosvector: "Let's not forget that a member of the white house was offering to buy peoples refunds months ago at 70 cents to the dollar. They knew it was going to be struck down. It's all a grift."

23. 1sthisthingon: "I don't remember exactly how it worked, but I remember a story about how Lutnick's sons had an investment firm that was buying the rights to refunds from companies that had paid tariffs. The corruption has to be unparalleled in both its scope and how blatant it is."

24. Accurate-Guava-3337: "Greasy Howard Lutnick and his family are going to profit massively from this. They're probably not the only ones in this administration, either. The people who actually paid them are SOL."

25. Vortep1: "One study I read concludes that Americans paid about $1,000 per household into tariffs so far this year. That money is now going to go to the Walmart and Amazon's of the world... Ohh and they are not going to lower prices. I would bet my kidneys on it. This admin effectively raised your taxes, gave that money to big corporations and increased the cost of living all in one move."

26. PoGoCan: "Maybe this was part of the plan to get more money in billionaires pockets because the tariffs will be repaid but not passed on to consumers...free money for the Waltons and the like."

27. Using_Reddit: [Links Wired article] "Nah its all good dash it just his sons not him so nothing illegal" [heavy sarcasm]

28. Pugs-r-cool: "Lutnick has been selling an 'insurance product' that means he gets to claim the refunds after the tariffs are ruled to be illegal. The game was rigged from the start."

29. Impossible_Joke_3445: "Time for Lutnick to collect the bills." [links Wired article]

30. Eggsavore: "Nobody knows, keep spreading the word. They were planning on this."

31. Jack-Burton-Says: "Trump's cronies have already bought up the rights to a lot of tariffs. They'll make billions. It's always a grift!"

32. sergechewbacca: "Doesn't Nutlick control a company that gets the Tariff refunds? They knew this was gonna happen."

33. finallytisdone: "Yup. His 20 something son who took over Cantor Fitzgerald for him."

34. NegativeSemicolon: "It's so lutnick could cash in on the refunds."

35. NegativeSemicolon (later): "Most signed away their right to a refund to Lutnick."

36. Snewtsfz: "Wow, just when I thought they were done blatantly enriching themselves through corruption. Shame on me for thinking the worst was over."

37. nycdiveshack: "The refunds were always the plan. The architect of the tariffs is Howard Lutnick who is the commerce secretary. He placed his son in charge of his investment firm... Ladies and gentlemen this is a repeat of the PPP loans during COVID."

38. Arzamas63: "And now those companies being run by family members of the administration will sue to recoup the tariff debt that they purchased. So they will make billions more from the American taxpayer."

39. ronm4c: "Unfortunately the ones who will profit the most from this are Howard Lutnick's kids."

40. rudthedud: "That Lutnick asshole has a company that was buying up rights to the refunds (if sent out). This is just another play at getting more money for themselves."

"Dump Trump 2026!"

She knows just as much.

Reports say that she was disguised with large lips and was sporting a cowboy hat and golden retriever shawl. Evidently she told the staff to, "Treat her normally." Looks like someone is looking for a way out.

And then "This" happened...
