And just wait until all the stimulus Trump is going to drop on Americans before the midterms to make everything look good and gain back some voters.

He can’t actually do much with votes in Congress he doesn’t have. Take money from programs via executive order? Ok, I guess. Cut checks to voters with that money? Even the Supreme Court would blush at that.

Can't he? He can't impose tariffs without congress, he can't declare war without congress. And yet...

He doesn't have to follow through. Announcing a stimulus check might be sufficient.

Do people still believe that the tariffs are somehow decreasing taxes?
