DoJ says it will not ask US supreme court to rehear tariffs case despite president’s complaint on Truth Social
The Trump administration said refunds of tariffs struck down by the US supreme court “will take time”, according to court documents filed by the Department of Justice.
Businesses including FedEx have lined up to demand reimbursement for US tariffs they have paid but that the court last week deemed were imposed illegally, prompting heavy criticism from Donald Trump.
The justice department did not say it plans to ask the supreme court to rehear the case, despite Trump’s comments earlier on Friday. Claiming that refunds could ultimately cost hundreds of billions of dollars, the president wrote: “I am sure that the supreme court did not have this in mind!”
‘Will take time’ as in ‘won’t be refunded at all’
Oh it’ll absolutely be paid back to all those broke poor corporations, just don’t think any of you greedy plebs will get any of that.
Yeah. See Scott Bessent’s smirk when he answered the question:

If only there was a precedent of him not paying, then we would know.
Good point. There is that popular saying:
“Trump always pays on receipt of the invoice”
It will just be redacted in full like so many of those pages of the Trump-Epstein files. They can send out checks that are all blacked out.
