Patriots who support Trump need to get him up to speed on the Supreme Court’s clarification of Congress’s limited power to lay takes. More specifically, state sovereignty-respecting justices had clariifed that Congress is prohibited from laying taxes essentially for anything that Congress cannot justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-ilmited powers.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

I suspect that Trump has room to use taxes to punish USA car manufactures who use foreign labor while still overall lowering taxes by enforcing constitutional limits on federal taxes.

To: Amendment10
constitutional Article I, Section 8-ilmited powers.

Those limited powers include levying duties on imports and regulating trade with foreign countries. Trump is right, and you are wrong.
