I just heard a guy on MNSBC say something like “This is worst self inflicted wound I’ve ever seen a president give himself.” If the US was a sane country - congress would immediately remove Trump’s emergency tariff powers plus they’d use some kind of legal mechanisms void the tariffs. They’d be immediate legal challenges and all of that but this is an insane situation. The GOP would do it so save them from a midterm bloodbath.
Of course - the US is an insane country so nobody knows what comes next. My hunch is that Trump quadruples down on his batshit economic “theories”. GOP goes along and becomes openly and aggressively fascist so they can win. They’re going to be yuge losers if they play by the rules. In the red states next year - the GOP saves itself by openly breaking voting laws (and all sorts of other laws) so they can keep control in those states and at a federal level keep the House. And the criminals are never charged with crimes by the GOP courts of those states or by Trump’s DOJ.
