The Constitution does not grant general criminal law authority to the feds. Has Trump ever heard of the 10th Amendment?

Have you ever heard about knowing the subject matter before calling someone, especially POTUS Trump, stupid?
How about RTFB!
You are correct. Trump and the bill are wrong.
Trump is great in many ways. But far, far from perfect domestic policy-wise. Especially in regard to the 10th. Recall his horrendous behavior regarding Trump/Ryan-Care. Essentially another legislative crush video with Freedom under DC's highest honored heels.
Even at a site called FreeRepublic folks easily fall into the trap of debating who hates a bad thing more than you do - crush videos, for example. Without acknowledging that, obviously, this should not be a central govt matter. Same for murder, drug abuse, etc.
Assuming that a problem can't be solved unless the solution involves the remote central govt, who we all here agree to be uncontrollably bungling and intentionally unfair, is an emotional response. Not a logical or constitutional bit of reasoning.
Are we to assume that folks in favor of this heavy and ripe-for-abuse approach believe their individual states would give a thumbs up to crush videos? That seems unlikely. Either way, it would be an issue to address within state or lower govt.
There is zero chance this wrong-headed but theoretically well-intentioned 'act' will NOT be thoroughly distorted and weaponized down the road. Like nearly every bipartisan act.
