Congress voted on tarriffs last night. It's no longer riding on a whim, the entire elected representatives voted on them and decided to keep them. Reversal failed 49-49.
So the mad king theory, I think it was initially defendable, but I'm not so sure now. The people have spoken, through their representatives, and through a president that advertised his tarriff plan during elections.
The American people have spoken, they want this pain.
Yes it is because Trump can take it away or add more at any moment. Congress doing nothing still means they're not crafting coherent industrial policy and not introducing legislation which would be more stable than one man's whims.
