I'm beginning to get it. In fariness to Trump from his many misguided supporters, not in his words so directly.

Let me understand your position.

The International Trade commission is an eight decade old bi-partisan commission established by Congress. Congress being a presumably unnecessary inconvenience foisted on us by the founders.

Upon election I presume by fiat Donald will terminate the democrat members, of the six no more that three can be of the same party, and replace them with members of the Trump party. He may have to do the same with the Republican members, he can replace them with Donald party members.

Then once he's stacked the commission, he'll ignore the will of Congress and the courts, he'll instruct them to uphold any and all charges of dumping, irrespective of facts or the rule of law. That and an unlawful Persidential tariff will convince companies to invest in the "economically stable" United States.

I've commented in the past that one of the worst potential results of illegal immigration is the importation of the corrupt system of government south of the border. And have suggested we'd be better off importing tomatos if the absence of labor fear mongers are correct, rather than importing illegal workers. If you're correct, that becomes less of a worry, we'll be electing a corrupt Mexican/Latin/South American centrally directed economy.

For many voters who are skeptical of Trump and what he says, his supporters may turn out to be his worst enemy

To: SJackson

you started by saying that Trump couldn’t enact the tariffs he was talking about.

you are wrong about that. Existing trade law and the structure of the ITC allows the Executive Branch to do just what Trump is proposing.

What is happening now is that practices in violation of US trade law such as economic injury, currency manipulation, selling for less in markets outside the USA... etc are routinely ignored. And have been for decades by successive Administrations.

Contrary to “ignoring the will of Congress and the Courts” what Trump is proposing is an Administration that actually enforces the trade law that is already on the books !
