#JBPritzker wants a refund for Trump's illegal #tarriffs

"Your tariff #taxes wreaked havoc on #farmers, enraged our allies, and sent #grocery prices through the roof. This morning, your hand-picked #SupremeCourt Justices notified you that they are also unconstitutional."

"On behalf of the people of Illinois, I demand a refund of $1,700 for every family in Illinois."

5,105,448 (households in IL) X $1,700
= $8,679,261,000.

Trump sees the #SCOTUS decision as giving him MORE POWER.
"But now the court has given me the unquestioned right to ban all sorts of things from coming into our country, to destroy foreign countries, but a much more powerful right than many people ever thought we even had.

"It’s incorrect, their decision is incorrect. But it doesn’t matter because we have very powerful alternatives that have been approved by this decision."
