Oh, wait...
Trump doesn't fucking care what he can or cannot do. Nor does his pet Congress.
It used to take Congress to do that (tariffs), but it's been legal for a president to do it since 1934, when a stunningly short-sighted legislature ceded that power to the executive.

Well, it's not quite that simple, and ignores the main point: Trump doesn't care what's legal and what isn't. Neither do his pet Congress or his pet court.
