The people who deserve a refund from Trump's trade war are American households and small businesses, not large corporations. Corporations should pass savings of any tariff refunds to American consumers.

NEW: A judge ordered the US government to refund Trump's illegally collected tariffs. It was theft in broad daylight. I'm pushing Donald Trump to give the American people their money back.

The recent Decision of the United States Supreme Court concerning TARIFFS could allow for Hundreds of Billions of Dollars to be returned to Countries and Companies that have been “ripping off” the United States of America for many years, and now, according to this Decision, could actually continue to do so, at an even increased level. I am sure that the Supreme Court did not have this in mind! It doesn’t make sense that Countries and Companies that took advantage of us for decades, receiving Billions and Billions of Dollars that they should not have been allowed to receive, would now be entitled to an undeserved “windfall,” the likes of which the World has never seen before, as a result of this highly disappointing, to say the least, ruling. Is a Rehearing or Readjudication of this case possible??? PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

The Supreme Court struck down Trump’s illegal tariffs that took over $130 BILLION from small businesses and families. That's why I'm demanding that the Trump administration begin processing refunds automatically—no delays or conditions. That money belongs to the American people.
