Wouldn't Trump's tariff program require 60 votes in the Senate to pass? Do you really think the Dems would support ANY Trump initiative? And then there are the RINO quislings like Collins, McConnell, Murkowski, and Tillis to deal with.

Given the current Senate, it's unreasonable to expect anything like the Trump tariff program to become law.

One thing is for certain, the court system has less say than than any of the three branches. The Constitution grants presidents emergency powers, so how can it be unconstitutional.

It's a tax only upon the importer, and this who choose to buy the imported product that have tariffs levied against it. Tariffs have had zero impact upon me, since I buy American products.
