2. If the SC strikes down tariffs, it is a favor to Trump and the GOP, helps them win the midterms.

The biggest problem Trump and GOP congress have right now is the bad economy caused by Trump's tariffs.
It cost them the recent elections.

If the Supreme Court ends the tariffs it benefits Trump and the GOP congress.

Trump can save face and blame the SC.

The Stockmarket will go crazy happy.

CEOs have already priced in the tariffs with a price hike to consumers.
They ate not going to change that pricing quickly, especially for the Christmas sales.
So they will win and even may get money back from the US Treasury.
They make out like bandits.

Economy is good for the midterms which helps the GOP.
