Republican lawmakers, including Rep. Don Bacon, are reconsidering Trump’s tariff authority, citing economic uncertainty and potential backlash over rising consumer prices.
Bacon called for restoring tariff power to Congress, admitting past mistakes in granting temporary presidential authority.
Rep. Ralph Norman acknowledged the potential pain of auto tariffs but remained hopeful of their effectiveness.
The Congressional Budget Office warned of short-term inflation and reduced economic efficiency.
Oh no, giving one person nearly unlimited power is a problem, if only we’d have seen that as an issue sooner. Not like fuck face has ever said he will do these things.
It’s not just that it’s giving power to one person, it’s that it is literally the worst person in the world.
