He will get sued and lose, Republicans set up a system that has a mechanism to stop this, Democrats got tired of charging this windmill
Maybe he knows this and this is just for show
I hope it’s just a negotiating ploy. But it’s also a waste of effort. He should be focusing on something that will actually help. Building the manufacturing industry will help. One thing that has already happened that has given US manufacturing an edge is the resurgence of the oil industry. Manufacturing depends on oil, gas, and chemicals. Also electricity. But the really big potential, I think, is in robotics, and no one is making a push on that. Everyone is scared to death that it will kill more jobs than it creates. I don’t see how that could be. Manufacturing is already dead, for the most part. We can rebuild, and that will provide new demand for steel and aluminum. No need for tariffs.
Probably unnecessary.
As with every other move DJT makes, some judge who considers himself king of the world will likely deem this "unlawful" and throw it out.
