What law gives the President the power to impose 35% tariffs on companies "moving jobs out of the country"? Creating an unstable business environment would discourage investment and reduce employment.

If he can at least make the tingle down the legs of liberals be a stream of urine or die-oh-rhea, it will be mission accomplished in my mind.

Obviously it would need done via Congress. However, the assumption that it would create an unstable business environment can be addressed by doing just one thing in addition to the tariffs: reducing regulation and onerous bureaucratic "hoops" most American businesses tend to have to jump through. The tariffs, combined with relaxed regulation/taxation of American business, would create the perfect pro-business environment.

“What law gives the President the power to impose 35% tariffs on companies “moving jobs out of the country”? Creating an unstable business environment would discourage investment and reduce employment. “

What law gives government at any level the “right” to set the minimum wage? What gives the government ANY “right” to infringe any of the Bill of Rights? What give them the “right” to fine a baker for refusing to bake someone a cake? My guess is that a lot of these “government rights” are just stuff that the government gets away with, with the acquiescence of the courts. Trump needs to start replacing US Attorneys and Judges on day one.

You can count on the Republican Congress finally taking on the role of the “opposition party” with Trump ... something they have rarely done with obama.

The same one where Obama could ban Russian AKs, or surplus ammo with the stroke of a pen?

That question has been answered numerous times here, and you should know it.

Trump has said he will reach a consensus with Congress, and he will.

Democrats and some Republicans have warned that financial markets would react poorly and that Mr. Trump’s protectionist stances might plunge the country into recession

Total nonsense.

He doesn’t have the power and I doubt he could get Congress to pass that law.

Reagan used tariffs. Get over it.

> “Donald J. Trump is now the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, but he is also keenly aware that many in his own party — and many Americans, frankly — are scared and anxious about the idea of him in the Oval Office. “

In 1980, the national news media tried to sway the public that Ronald Reagan had no foreign policy experience and as a result of his hard-line rhetoric would surely start WWIII with the Soviet Union.

The scare tactics didn’t work then, and will not work now.

The counrty’s already in ression. The job losses will be huge by Nov. CA experiencing a 1 bil tax shortfall in April is just the tip of the iceberg.

Trump first task will be dealing with a world wide depression greater than the 1930s one. I hope he’s up to it.

If you question Trump on his policies you must want Hillary to win.

I predict most people will overlook the most important parts of this story, namely all of the conservative items on Trump’s 100 first days agenda.

Under the Trade Act of 1974, specifically Section 301, it would appear there is plenty of authority for doing just that:

The business environment is already 'unstable' and nobody needs any reminders about our reduced and under employment situation.

Happy to help.

The same law that permits them to abolish the IRS, Obamacare, Education, EPA, etc.....NONE...No president can do that without an executive order. It’s Congress. ALL the candidates play the same game. The difference is, I believe Trump will actually get the leadership of Congress together and cajole them to do it.
