Meat on the Bone? Nah Just Tariffs!

Hey it's Luffy! Guess what? I heard some guys in fancy robes – not as cool as my red vest though – made a decision about these... 'tariffs'. Sounds like something you eat with meat right? Nope! Apparently some toy companies are fighting with this Trump guy 'cause he put extra charges on their toys! Toys! What's next taxing MEAT?

Rubber Banding Through Red Tape!

These companies Learning Resources and hand2mind (sound like Devil Fruit names don't they?) are super bummed 'cause they wanted to skip ahead and ask the big shot Supreme Court about it. But those guys said "Hold your horses little toys! Trump gets 30 days to explain himself!" Shishishi! Sounds like someone's in trouble! Reminds me of when I cause trouble for Nami after eating all the food!

Declare Economic Emergency? Sounds Like a Bellyache!

Apparently this Trump guy declared a 'national economic emergency'. Sounds serious right? But it's just an excuse to put these tariffs in place without asking anyone! It's like saying I have an emergency 'cause I NEED MORE MEAT! Sanji would have a fit! This 'IEEPA' thingy is supposed to stop emergencies but they're using it to *make* one! What a load of baloney!

Gum Gum No... Legal Battle!

These toy companies are saying Trump doesn't have the power to do this. It's like saying I can't be King of the Pirates! Blasphemy! But seriously they're not happy and they're gonna keep fighting. "Ultimately this showdown will be at the Supreme Court," says this Rick Woldenberg guy like this is the Grand Line or something!

Courts Going Haki Wild!

Some court somewhere actually blocked Trump's tariffs for a bit! Hooray! Freedom for the toys! But then another court said "Nope! Tariffs stay!" It's like getting hit with Kizaru's light beams – super fast and annoying! So now they gotta wait for arguments at the end of next month. Talk about a drag!

To the Grand Line... of Legal Battles!

So what did we learn? Even the Supreme Court can't stop a good fight! And tariffs are definitely NOT meat. I still don't understand half of this but I know one thing: I'm gonna need a LOT of meat to think this through! Shishishi!
