The Congress Regrets - (Senator Grassley introduces a bill to enable the legislature to start clawing back the tariff powers that it, in a weak moment, delegated to the president.)

    Sadly, I see this playing out with the GOPe undermining Trump’s negotiation positions in the short-term and stopping his agenda in the long-term.

    It’s smart to take the long view. And that’s exactly what Trump is doing with regards to tariffs (and so many other things).
The best you can say about Trump’s opponents is that they only care about today. Let tomorrow take care of itself.
That kind of thinking is unwise to the point of being reckless.

    Congress might want to notice this:
“An exclusive DailyMail.com/J.L. Partners survey of over 1,000 registered voters conducted from March 31 to April 3 found that the Republican remains largely popular in the U.S.
The poll found that Trump’s approval rating rose to 53 percent, a 4-point increase over last week when it was 49 percent.”

    Subject to veto if passed?

    If I was Grassley I’d be worried about the next hour. Let alone about the next day.

    Yes. This is posturing. They want to go on record as opposing if it doesn’t work. Cowards.

    Grassley and Paul have assured that there will be no new factories in their states.

    Congress should never have given up those powers in the first place. Maybe give the President the power to impose them for a limited period of time before Congress has to act. I don’t even think a complete delegation of that power is Constitutional for the same reason creating the entire administrative deep state should be unconstitutional.

    Too late. Hell’s coming brother.

    Yup. When it looks like Trump’s tariffs are going to ruin their chances of getting kickbacks from foreign companies, they wet in their Depends. America isn’t “First” anymore. Haul assley Grassley.
