Summary
Republican lawmakers, including Rep. Don Bacon, are reconsidering Trump’s tariff authority, citing economic uncertainty and potential backlash over rising consumer prices.
Bacon called for restoring tariff power to Congress, admitting past mistakes in granting temporary presidential authority.
Rep. Ralph Norman acknowledged the potential pain of auto tariffs but remained hopeful of their effectiveness.
The Congressional Budget Office warned of short-term inflation and reduced economic efficiency.
Didn’t the funding bill a couple of weeks ago give Trump more tariff power? Why didn’t this guy speak up sooner?
“Oh God! The consequences of my actions are impacting me!”
France is bacon?
I’m just surprised a republican admitted to making a mistake.
He only speaks now because it affects his state of Nebraska and his constituents are mad.
Handing all his power to a guy who is working to end the 250 years of democracy. Fucking traitor.
