Contributing sentiments towards policy:

67% : Now Trump does have some powers.
47% : "The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States.
45% : It's also a cumbersome procedural process that took nearly a year to implement by Trump in 2017-2018.
39% : The latest report extends the timeline for Trump to impose the tariffs to March 1, whether he announces them on Saturday or not.
38% : The Reuters report still says Trump will announce tariffs but that they won't begin until March 1 and there will be a process for exemptions, which perhaps means that both can be true.
28% : When Trump was threatening Mexico with broad tariffs in 2019 around immigration, there was considerable talk about this a strong consensus that it wasn't legal.
27% : Now your counter-argument can be 'laws don't matter' and the Supreme Court 'will let Trump do whatever he wants' but we've already seen executive orders blocked by the courts.
