Trump has very obviously used a bogus excuse to apply the tariffs without needing congressional approval. That means Trumps tariffs are illegal. If the GOP congress people think the tariffs are wrong, why don't they call Trump out and side with the Dems to prevent Trumps crazy destruction of our economy??? All they need to do is remember what closet they hung their spines in!
