. The "two wrongs make a right" mentality that got us down this road of an overpowered executive branch across nearly all administrations in my lifetime.
There was a law passed in the 1910s that allowed the president to set tariffs independent of Congress. I agree executive overreach is a problem, but in the scope of tariffs it's been this way for over 100 years. We just never had a recent president so retarded about it.
