Like everything Trump, it was a half assed scam. I really don't understand how people can support this fool.

The court simply allowed the case to proceed. Nothing has been won. They have not admitted it was a scam. They have not been ordered by the court to rescind any award they have given out. Looks like Trump is making himself the judiciary now and has decided the outcome before the trial has taken place.
Yes, I took a guess which was incorrect. Pulitzer committee asked to hold case until Trump was out of office so as not to interfere with official duties. Like taking bribes, sending legal residents to foreign concentration camps, attacking Bruce Springsteen.
Hiltzik: Explaining the newest Wall Street craze — the 'TACO' trade Stock market investors don't have much to cheer about in the second Trump term, except perhaps for a new and almost flawless trading strategy — the TACO trade. The acronym, coined by Financial Times columnist Robert Armstrong, stands for "Trump Always Chickens Out." ("Acronyms are very powerful, especially when they remind people of foodstuffs," Armstrong told his colleague Katie Martin on an FT podcast.) That his observation points to the way to profit from stock trades in an uncertain environment was underscored by the market's response over the last few trading days to Trump's threat to levy a 50% tariff on imports from the European Union. The tariffs were to begin on June 1, or nine days later. Acronyms are very powerful, especially when they remind people of foodstuffs. Robert Armstrong, coiner of the TACO trade acronym Trump issued that threat on Friday, May 23. That day the Standard & Poor's 500 index fell more than 39 points, or 0.67%, and the Nasdaq index fell 188.53 points, or 1%. Two days later, on Sunday, Trump announced that he would defer the tariff increase until July 9. On Tuesday, the first trading day following the Memorial Day holiday, stocks jumped back up. The S&P rose 118.72 points, or 2.05%, and the Nasdaq rose nearly 462 points, or 2.47%. See how the TACO trade works? It's a two-step process: Buy the dip — the lowered prices following a Trump tariff announcement — and sell at the higher prices after Trump's inevitable chickening-out pushes stocks back up. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/hiltzik-explaining-newest-wall-street-100000657.html
