Gotta use all the weapons in your arsenal when trying to restore American greatness.When Donald Trump couldn’t get the money he wanted through Congress to support his fiction of a border invasion, he dragged out the National Emergency Act and simply obtained that money … by taking it away from funds supposed to build housing, hospitals, and schools for U.S. troops and their families.
The Emergency Economic Powers Act was created to restrict the powers of the executive, which had been given carte blanche to lock down assets and restrict trade under the Trading With The Enemy Act that went back to World War I. This wasn’t an act to give the president more power over American companies. It was an act to give him less.
Government by tantrum: Trump threatens to declare another emergency to expand his power
Let’s see if Mr. guts and glory takes any unconstitutional actions against an American company.
