| 0:00.0 | Throughout the 2024 presidential campaign, Donald promised to boost American businesses, |
| 0:05.6 | but he was lying. Shock. |
| 0:08.3 | Instead, Donald's policies are dragging American companies down so much so that a number of them |
| 0:15.6 | are taking him to court. NBC News reports that Costco has filed a lawsuit against the Trump regime. |
| 0:22.4 | They're asking the U.S. Court of International Trade to rule that tariffs Donald imposed using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act are illegal. |
| 0:31.6 | They're also requesting refunds for all the money they've paid because of those tariffs. |

| 1:20.3 | And that's money that it would need to go back to companies, essentially try to figure out how to get that money back to companies that have paid them. |
| 1:27.3 | The money is still being collected at this point. and Costco did say in this filing that is expected to make a payment to Customs and Border Protection later this month. |
| 1:35.3 | Okay, so the federal government has allegedly taken in $90 billion as the direct results of the tariffs that Donald has imposed on essentially |
| 1:46.1 | every single one of our trading partners. |
| 1:48.4 | This has been disastrous for the economy, and I don't see any reason to believe that that |
