The article discusses President Trump's decision to temporarily lift tariffs, attributing it to his personal whims rather than thoughtful governance. It criticizes the Republican Congress and Trump's Cabinet for failing to check his power, illustrating a shift towards unchecked authority. The author references James Madison's Federalist No. 47, highlighting the dangers of concentrating power in one person's hands. This situation exemplifies the very tyranny the Constitution aimed to prevent through its separation of powers, emphasizing the relevance of this foundational principle in contemporary governance.
"What we witness now is a danger when a single individual can make sweeping economic decisions without checks, reminiscent of the tyrants the Constitution's authors sought to avoid."
