The bill is bad, assuming it actually passes and it doesn't get torn to shreds by the courts, will decimate larger pro-lgbtq+ groups but I have a feeling the smaller sites will just move from being hosted in the US to more LGBTQ+ friendly countries. The porn industry on it's own has a pretty good history of defeating laws like this using the courts on first amendment grounds anyway, combine it with the ACLU and various LGBTQ+ organizations and they will have quite a fight on their hands if they try to implement it.

Won't Trump use tariffs and other pressures to make countries that host it stop? He's pressured Europe to stop taxing/regulating American tech-bros and Brazil for taking action against their own version of Trump...

About the tariff thing... It appears the courts may be getting ready to slap down his ability to arbitrarily set them. The tariff power granted to the president by congress was only to be used in very specific circumstances and the ones he put in place don't match them. He pressured Brazil and Brazil simply said 'bring it'. They are currently being subject to Trump's retaliatory tariffs. The more countries that don't back down, the worse it gets for Trump, especially if the appeals court doesn't side with him in the Tariff case.

Right now; trumps methodology is just do jive, let it hit the appeals court, and then push it to the supreme court where they will let him keep doing the jive while they mull it over... for months and months and months.

The appeals court will probably rule against him. That's just the law. The supreme court is absolutely rogue though: so they'll issue a non-answer that lets trump keep going, or overturn hundreds of years of precedence because it's ******* trump.
