Above post has been corrected to from “taxes” to “tariffs”. Feel better now? Yes the president has the power to impose tariffs. He campaigned on it. He promised to do it. This is what people voted for. I hope he does it. |
Please.tell me what law gives the president this authority? The fast track trade promotion authority of Trump's first term no longer exists. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_track_(trade) |
So you are someone with moderation power posting anonymously? Hmmm. |
Quit being a lazy bore. https://www.csis.org/analysis/making-tariffs-great-again-does-president-trump-have-legal-authority-implement-new-tariffs |
No. You are a moron. |
Following a phone call with Trump, however, Sheinbaum initially posted on X that the two had had “an excellent conversation”.
“We discussed Mexico's strategy on the migration phenomenon and I shared that [migrant] caravans are not arriving at the northern border because they are being taken care of in Mexico.” |
Sounds like she’s quickly reconsidered her threats. |
Sounds like she's educating Trump on the actual status. |
Sounds like Trump is immediately backing down.
What a p#$$y. |
The tariffs were just BS for his idiot base.
He's shadow boxing. He threatened tariffs, so he could lie about getting concessions and then cancel the tariffs before they start. Tada! Instant political victory with no actual work or contribution, while taking credit for the work the previous administration did, and then not doing anything to improve the situation beyond that. Same as how he "repealed and replaced" Obamacare |
This. The issues have been largely addressed as much as they can without legislation - that Trump killed. |
I cannot imagine thinking that the President of Mexico is somehow bulldogging the President of the United States. Doesn’t matter what the names are. |
True. But it isn’t really consistent with the MAGA view that Congress shouldn’t be delegating its authority. That the provinces of an elected legislature should not be delegated to the executive. |
I'm sure that's not her play. All world leaders know that flattery is the best way to manipulate Trump. |
You have confirmed, albeit anonymously, that you are a fool. |
