I can. Congress can get its act together and override all this.

With all our learning, none of us can think of a way to relieve a global crisis that is largely if not entirely attributable to a single individual.

Even better:

Congress voted for a budget resolution rule that stated exactly the opposite. They will not acknowledge it’s a problem let alone override it.

That would involve the Party of Limited Government® deciding that it's not a good idea to have one government official running the world's economy off a cliff.

They aren't the party of *limited* government, they're the party of *small* government. And what kind of government is smaller than one dipshit ruling by decree?

Republicans in Congress could save the country even now, but they won’t.

They’d rather live in a dictatorship where they hold onto their Congressional seats, than get primaried for standing up for democracy.

Congress can stop this.
AT ANY POINT.

Yeah WTF. The answers aren't missing at all. The will is.

The Senate at least tried to claw back Canada. The House led by the intellectually challenged sycophantic putz Mike Johnson is already circling the wagons to save Trump the embarrassment of the veto. When they lose the house at midterms and Trump becomes a lame duck- this will be why.

Yup, now would be a REALLY good time for some R Congresscritters to GROW A FUCKING SPINE.

By removing Trump and reversing this you might regain at least SOME of the losses.

Almost every Dem is complicit.

Literally. Congress could simply remove any authority to impose tariffs without legislation at any time.

darkglade.bsky.social•71 days ago

Better yet, they could FUCKING IMPEACH HIM...

lemurdreamer87.bsky.social•71 days ago

Democrats need to be introducing bills to revoke Trump's tariff power, end the tariffs, and/or impeach the jackass, and shouting about them from the rooftops. The near-zero odds of those bills getting a vote (let alone passing) are irrelevant, Democrats need to show that they're willing to try.
