Comment on A year after Trump's near-assassination, friends and allies see some signs of a changed man

So now you are against taxes? I am confused, were you against tariffs when the other president did them? Or just Trump?

Yes, I am against tariffs, because we can look at history and observe that they are a stupid policy.
I’m particularly opposed to Trump’s method of tariff policy, because it’s chaotic, undisciplined, and doesn’t function within the safeguards outlined by federal law. It’s actually illegal for a president to declare tariffs, but Congress is controlled by Republicans who are resolute in their opinion that Donald will be allowed to rule by fiat.
In 12-18 months when the new international trade deals materialize that undercut US trade, I wonder if you will finally stop making excuses for this demented man.

It isn’t illegal. Congress delegated tariffs to the president many years ago. To me this should be a job of Congress and Congress shouldn’t be able to delegate its duties, but it isn’t illegal
