I think he might understand what Trump is doing.

He is questioning where the Constitution gives the President this power. He likely thinks this power belongs to congress. Kind of an academic argument. I think that being Chief Executive of the country gives the power to do what it takes to get fair international trade rules, especially if the Board of Directors (Congress) is largely dysfunctional. The Constitution is not a suicide pact.
