How Republicans Could Stop Donald Trump's Tariffs
LOADING ERROR LOADINGWASHINGTON — President Donald Trump is crashing the global economy with arbitrary tariffs against countries around the world, but it doesn’t have to be this way. Congress could stop the tariffs at any time. “It’s time that Congress restores its authorities here,” Bacon said on “Face the Nation.” “And the Constitution is clear, the House and the Senate, Congress has the power of tariffs and taxes. Any bill that Congress passes reasserting its authority over tariffs would likely need a large, veto-proof majority, or a two-thirds vote in both the House and the Senate. There’s no indication yet that nervous Republicans will bail on Trump’s tariff regime, but that could change if financial markets continue melting down.

Republicans Don't Seem To Understand 'Family Values'
Deportations aren’t just about any one person: the impacts spread through their family and the wider community. There’s an economic angle, too — studies have shown that deportations can plunge a family into poverty after the sudden loss of income. AdvertisementPresident Donald Trump, despite being twice divorced with five children by three women, has championed traditional family values. “We will again stand proudly for families and for life,” Trump told anti-abortion protesters at the March For Life back in January. “Family values” was always a softening cover for what was otherwise a pro-capitalist, anti-equality agenda.

Trump Tariff Scheme A Great Opportunity For Even More Presidential Corruption
“There are concerns around additional graft and cronyism,” said Melinda St. Louis, global trade director at Public Citizen. President Donald Trump speaks to reporters on board Air Force One on April 3, 2025. As president, Trump is creating a “strategic” Bitcoin reserve, giving the U.S. government’s imprimatur to an “asset” that has zero intrinsic value. Norm Eisen, the top ethics lawyer in Barack Obama’s White House, agreed that Trump’s tariff scheme is an easy vehicle for corruption. “By asserting these imperial whims, Trump opens himself up to unseemly influence attempts from foreign countries to try to get tariffs reversed,” Eisen said.
