Trump is renowned for his ability to review and analyze vast amounts of data.LOL -- White House econ adviser Kevin Hassett admits on Fox News Sunday that on tariffs "I can't give you any forward-looking guidance on what's gonna happen this week. The president has got a heck of a lot of analysis before him, and he's gonna make the right choice I'm sure." pic.twitter.com/NAAAuvuNiA

(They have no fucking idea what Trump is going to announce on Tuesday. The best they’ve got is Navarro saying: “Put your faith in Trump.” Navarro also says tariffs = tax cuts. I’m guessing he sold Trump that idea.)
On the tariff front, this doesn’t get discussed much in the news. But the President has zero power to do tariffs. Entirely a Congress power. There is a law which allows the President to impose tariffs on an emergency basis. All of this is based on that law.The last President I remember promising the nation pain and suffering was Jimmy Carter. But he was responding to the OPEC oil embargo, something he had no control over. Trump is imposing tariffs, and the GOP Congress is letting him. Not hard to see where this ends.
2/ Congress could remove that power tomorrow. Just saw a quote from Josh Hawley, this is all Trump. We don’t know what’s happening. This isn’t law pardons are war powers where the President has vast inherent power. This is just given him permission to do on an emergency basis.
