The new round of tariffs President Donald Trump announced on social media at the end of September, including levies on kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities, upholstered furniture, select pharmaceutical products, and heavy trucks, will not be at stake when the Supreme Court hears oral argument on his “reciprocal” tariffs in November. They are governed by a different statute. But in both cases, the Trump administration has made fantastical claims that are undermined every time the president declares another product important to national security.

“We will be imposing a 50% Tariff on all Kitchen Cabinets, Bathroom Vanities, and associated products,” Trump posted on social media at 7:10 p.m. on Sept. 25. “Additionally, we will be charging a 30% Tariff on Upholstered Furniture. The reason for this is the large-scale ‘FLOODING’ of these products into the United States by other outside Countries. It is a very unfair practice, but we must protect, for National Security and other reasons, our Manufacturing process.”
