This is a DIRECT challenge to the President’s authority. No surprise that most Republicans went along with choosing China over America. Traitors, all.

“No surprise that most Republicans went along with choosing China over America.”

Not most Republican senators, but all Republican Senators voted to reduce taxes.

They undermined him on Russia too by essentially pushing a Russia sanctions bill through with sanctions on other countries like Iran. He had to sign it or they’d say he was colluding.

And, if you admit that Congress has the power here then your complaint that this challenges POTUS authority is invalid. All this bill does is claw back their rightful authority.

Self important bastards trying to lower tariffs when they know Trump wants them raised? Why could they not have put up such a fight with Obama, or the other side?

I personally consider politicians of all stripes among the most pitiful and pathetic people existing in the modern world. It’s generally a group of people with huge egos who have not worked to develop any particular expertise or talents. They appear, as a group, to be more than willing to consistently chose self interest over the interests of the nation. So why do we allow them to remain in office?

Funny that a lot of conservatives are fooled and agree with the corrupt Congress favoring china over the USA.

China with the help of corrupt U.S. politicicians has been sending the USA back to the Stone Age as this
Congressional vote and this link shows that Just one city in China makes 90% of the world’s electronics

https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2017/11/inside-shenzhen-china-s-gadget-capital/

“Shenzhen is known as “the world’s factory” because so much of our stuff is made there. In fact, Inc. reported that 90% of the world’s electronics come from Shenzhen, including toys, televisions, air conditioning units, mobile phones and drones.”

Trump is the only one that has any clue how to reverse this and make things in the USA again. But the Fed is raising rates and the media is lying blaming the coming Fed induced recession on Trump’s trade “talk”.

Challenging what authority? The power to levy taxes—including tariffs—belongs to Congress, not the President.

Congress gave the president the power through legislation to raise or lower tariffs based on national security and Congress can take that power away, also through legislation. You may disagree with the legislation, but Congress is exercising its constitutional authority, the same as the president is exercising his constitutional authority granted to him by the Congress.

And the battle continues. This where the President can crush these clowns. Just start letting the people know that they’re own elected representatives are choosing a foreign country over the USA. I’m sure it’ll go over well.
