How does a president impose a tax without Congress?

Obama seems to have set the precedent that Presidential whims override the Constitution.

“Obama seems to have set the precedent that Presidential whims override the Constitution.”

Did anyone, or does anyone, criticize Obama for saying he would transform the United States? Did he ever say anything about doing that in a Constitutional manner? Does Trump saying he would impose a tariff rise to that level? Have you ever watched [a, any] president give a State of the Union speech?

Trump only Threatened to impose a Tariff. That may well be all he needs to do to keep Ford in line. Its smart to keep American workers earning a paycheck so they can Buy Ford Products. Threats like this may compell, Foreign Auto makers to build plants in the USA and employ American workers. We should insist that a certain % of parts be made in the USA as well. These words alone may keep jobs in the USA.
