I'm Pretty Proud Of My Governor. He Suffers Few... Fools.

This is perhaps trivial, but a decent case can be made that every state in the Union is also owed reparations from Trump's plainly unlawful theft of our GDP via his tariff follies.

This case is best seen though -- I think -- as a way to make the political point: Trump is off the map, when we speak of what is permissible, in the land of separation of powers:

. . .CHICAGO — Following the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that the Trump tariffs were imposed illegally, Governor JB Pritzker sent a letter and invoice to the president, demanding the return of the $8.6 billion he stole from Illinois families.

Read the full letter and invoice at right. . . .

Rest assured -- Apple (through its fine legal team, like many others around the nation) will reclaim every penny of the $2 billion it is already owed, on behalf of its shareholders -- who were lawlessly assessed his odious taxes (in the form of tariffs). Flawless.
