Actually, Trump's approval ratings have risen according to Rasmussen: Friday, May 30, 2025: The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows that 53% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump’s job performance. forty-six percent (46%) disapprove.

Inflation rate is down, while the take home pay of individual's has increased, according to a CNBC report that I saw on Steve Bannon's War Room podcast, within the last 30 minutes.

Thus, he is not correct. That is your bias speaking, not reality, according to Rasmussen's polling results.

THE AGGREGATE UNDERSTANDING OF THE ENTIRE CONGRESS REGARDING TARIFFS IS NON- EXISTENT.

So, the GOP establishment is celebrating judicial activism by the courts that contradict 91 years of precedent?

Whenever I see a headline with a false premise, and then notice it was written by Alexander Bolton, I think - no wonder.

Lies and conflation. Point by point tariffs have immense public support, and polls show it.

Didn’t a judge overturn this ruling the same day?

I am going to donate to anyone that runs against Rand in the next election.

“I said before that decision that the 10% across the board tariff was going to be the hardest one to defend legally precisely because it was so broad and not targeted.”

I think Congress needs to impose a 10% money export tax.

“our Founders did not foresee a Congress that spends the majority of its time working to get re-elected rather than do what’s right for the country. Sadly, the US needs to be making long run decisions today to put it back on track, but the politicians’ long run is defined as their term of office.”

The House needs to be put on a four-year election cycle two years offset from the president.

The House needs to spend more time working. Trump can’t save the nation himself.

The author, Bolton, is 10 percent factual and 90 percent wishful thinking. For example: The Hill

Actually, the Founders of this nation did foresee this. Benjamin Franklin quoted “A Republic if you can keep it”.

Literally every one of them wrote something on the dangers of a “Democracy” and a large government that isn’t accountable.

As many have said before, we now have the government that our Founding Fathers warned us about.

I don’t think we want Congress, who can’t even pass a budget or budgets with regular order, to debate and pass tariff policy and the president can veto.

Chaos.

Probably why Congress delegated the power in 1975.
