Trump’s reckless and illegal tariffs—imposed without congressional authority—are a nationwide sales tax on the American people. Congressional Republicans have allowed him to do this. But enough is enough. That’s why we voted to reclaim Congress’ authority so we can debate, vote on, and stop these tariffs. Costs are rising, but House Democrats are fighting to make life more affordable.

@Rep_McBride You are irrelevant. You are a dude pretending to be a woman.

@Rep_McBride You’re a dude pretending to be a woman.

@Rep_McBride Bro. You’re a dude… you’re not fooling anyone!

Tariffs are suddenly “illegal” now? Let’s talk reality instead of spin… Congress gave presidents tariff authority decades ago through laws like the Trade Expansion Act (Section 232) and the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. That means tariffs can be imposed legally under delegated authority. Calling them automatically “illegal” ignores the actual statutory framework Congress itself created. Second… tariffs are not a simple nationwide sales tax. Economically, tariffs function as import duties. Sometimes costs are passed to consumers, sometimes absorbed by foreign exporters through lower prices, sometimes offset by currency shifts or domestic competition. The impact depends on market structure, not slogans. Third… politicians claiming they want to make life affordable while simultaneously opposing domestic production protection ignores the strategic purpose of tariffs. Tariffs are often used to counter dumping, protect critical industries, and reduce dependency on foreign supply chains. That is a trade strategy debate… not a legal crisis. What this post does is reframe a policy disagreement as illegality to generate outrage. Reality: Presidents have long-standing delegated tariff authority. Tariffs are tools used by both parties historically. Economic effects are complex, not a simple “sales tax” narrative. Debate the policy if you want… but pretending the authority doesn’t exist is misleading. #SilentMajoritySpeaks #AStoneGroove

@Rep_McBride You're gaslighting dude. You may want to familiarize yourself with the Trade Expansion Act of 1962. It implicitly authorizes the President the impose tariffs for national security and economic reasons. Oh, don't forget your yearly prostate exam, it's critical for men's health.

@Rep_McBride Is this dude talking about The Save Act? You know, the bill the Demoncrats say will prevent women from voting. 🤣

@Rep_McBride House Democrats making life affordable👇🏻

@Rep_McBride Costs are down and inflation is down

@Rep_McBride You don’t understand tariffs do you

@Rep_McBride Halloween is over, you can quit dressing up.

@Rep_McBride We all know by now that you're only holding that seat because of identity politics. Thank you for disgracing our country with your politics and increasingly disturbing radical ideology. I hope you have a case of incurable jock itch

@Rep_McBride @POTUS doesnt need permission from congress to impose tariffs, especially a congressman who pretends to be a woman! what a joke dude.

@Rep_McBride Dude says what?

@Rep_McBride Dude, it’s the gift that keeps on giving! 🤣

@Rep_McBride look at those man hands

@Rep_McBride Who would you rather have financial advice from, this dude or President Trump? BTW the tariffs are not illegal.

@Rep_McBride House Democrats calling themselves out. Remember this deleted post, Timothy?

@Rep_McBride A mentally deranged guy dressed like a woman wanting to put America last and condemn our future generations to poverty and conquest is so -totally- on brand for democrats.

@Rep_McBride You're a dude. Stop it.

@Rep_McBride Shut up dude.

@Rep_McBride Sir, Please read the constitution. The president has the constitutional authority to set tariffs.

@Rep_McBride I can't take a guy seriously who thinks he can change his gender.

@Rep_McBride Your profile is incorrect, you are a congressman ! You cannot change chromosomes.

@Rep_McBride It’s a wild time that a mentally ill dude playing dress up is part of our government

@Rep_McBride The tariffs aren’t illegal. And the tariffs have brought in money and Democrats are mad because you don’t get any of it. We will take you seriously when you admit you’re a man.

@Rep_McBride I can’t take you seriously if you don’t know the difference between a man and a woman! And if tariffs were so bad why didn’t you get rid of them during Biden’s presidency? #idiot

@Rep_McBride Dude… STFU! We are $38 Trillion in debt!! He is saving our country via Tariffs!! And trillions of investment.. and all you insider traders should be thrilled with our stock markets!

@Rep_McBride Dude, stop being such a chud. You’re as ugly as baboons ass.

@Rep_McBride Dude, STFU already

Ya - thanks buddy, it's called the US President- the head of the executive branch of the Government So if you are for stoping the tariffs, then pick up the phone and start calling all the leaders of the countries that have tariffs against the US and ask them to drop their tariffs and then we will drop ours - let's see what happens

@Rep_McBride Our economy is stronger than ever and consumers seem to be absorbing what ever “sales tax” you say exists. Congress can stay in its lane. Let our country continue to succeed.

@Rep_McBride Congressman....

@Rep_McBride Shut up, dude.

@Rep_McBride I hope they are keeping a close eye on this dude. With current revelations, who knows what he is capable of?
