Which is why the pronouncements have tended to include fentanyl, or border control, or some other factor aside from trade deficits. That way the Administration can point to them in court and claim that he's exercising a delegated authority to impose tariffs.

Is anyone -even the minority party- saying "PROVE IT"? If I were a congress-being, I would be shouting that at every microphone pointed at me. I very much doubt Canada has a problem with fentanyl. And Brazil doesn't even share a border with us, so that's out. (Does MAGA know we don't share a border with Brazil? I probably shouldn't assume...)

Hopefully the Dems take Congress back next year**. If so, they should be able to put a stop to this madness (since the authority really lies with Congress).

**I don't know the mix of senators seeking reelection next year, but the House has 435 people needing to be reelected. The Dems have been given a Golden Ticket as long as they don't blow it with pronouns (and other nonsense).
