should you be among those who believe trump is making america great, i suggest you consider the following opinion, and remember i haven't though america had a good president since jfk;

President Trump has suddenly announced that he is upping his trade war against China by imposing another $300 billion of tariffs on Chinese goods. According to the Washington Post, Trump said that his tariffs would begin at 10 percent on such products as cellphones, television sets, toilet seats, and pillows but could increase to 25 percent. As Trump adviser Peter Navarro declared, “We love tariffs. Tariffs are a wonderful thing.”

Okay, so our nation’s Republican president loves taxes, which is precisely what tariffs are. No surprise there. Despite their customary “reduce taxes” rhetoric, Republicans have long been supporters of big spending, along with the taxes to fund them — income taxes, Social Security and Medicare taxes, tariffs, excise taxes, property taxes, poll taxes, sales taxes, inflation taxes, and, well, every other forcible extraction of money from people to fund the ever-voracious needs of the federal government.

But I thought that in the United States, it is supposed to be Congress that sets the taxes by voting to enact them, after which the president signs the legislation into law. Isn’t that what everyone is taught in the civics classes in the public (i.e., government) schools to which parents are forced to send their children?

Yet, here is Trump himself imposing the taxes. The way he sees it is: Who needs some stinking Congress to perform that job when a dictatorially oriented president is able to do it himself?..........https://www.fff.org/2019/08/02/donald-trump-trade-dictator/
