And it appears Congress finally grew a pair. They got what they wanted out of Trump, now they need to find some way to check him to stem the mid term blood bath. I expect the courts to neuter his tariff power and really make him a lame duck.

And it did serve as an example. Perhaps the lesson will sink in. Trump only has the power they choose to give him. And they don't have to give him any power at all.

When the numbers are against him, he'll always cave and then try to pretend they are actually doing what he wants.
