Even if you think that it is constitutional to delegate this power to the executive, it's clearly inconsistent with Biden v. Nebraska, where the supreme court ruled that the executive can't even exercise powers that congress explicitly delegated (when a Democrat is president only, for some reason).

He’s also abusing the way the power’s delegated. He only declared the “fentanyl emergency” because unilateral tariffs are an emergency power. So then he tariffs China more (ok, sure, he doesn’t actually care about the fentanyl thing but fine I guess) and then also… Mexico? Ok they cooperate pretty well when we don’t levy tariffs so seems like that should have been like step fifty if things went poorly, but… I guess? Oh but also Canada, which no sane analysis would judge is relevant to his “fentanyl emergency”, so clearly he’s just full of shit and wanted to seize some power.

I have a feeling that the net flow of contraband across the Canadian border is northward, giving the Canadian Fentanyl Czar the opportunity to clown on Trump by imprisoning Americans.
