I could make another argument for what I think the president should do.
I'd read this quote.
When Congress grants the power to impose tariffs, it does so clearly and with careful constraints, Roberts wrote.
It did neither here.
Now, while I don't agree with that, I think the president was absolutely within his rights.
What I think folks in your audience who stand with Trump need to do is they need to call people like me and say pass a bill to give him those tariffs.
What the Supreme Court is saying is not that the president can't impose tariffs.
Well, they're not saying he can't impose tariffs.
They're saying he didn't have the congressional authority to impose tariffs.
So we have a choice.
We have a choice.
And look, it may make us blow up the filibuster in the Senate, but we do have a slight majority in the House.
Please do.
And we do have a slight majority in the Senate.
And so we, as a Congress, can choose to give him that power.
Because what President Trump has done is he has brought in an extraordinary amount of money to the country in the form of these tariffs, which really are just sales taxes on foreign goods.
He's reduced the trade deficit.
He's making people invest in this country.
He's bringing down the deficit.
