Why TF does he not just get legislation passed granting him broad powers?

Because nobody actually wants to be seen touching a tax hike. If Trump can own it, every congressman can go back home and say "I don't like the tariffs, but there's nothing I can do?!"

Not even that they couldn't be strong armed into voting for it. But that they can pretend to oppose tariffs in words while doing nothing of substance in deeds.

When they say there's nothing they can do, they're hoping you accept this lie and not push back that it's a lie. Make sure they own the tariffs as much as they own the Donvict. They are his enablers.
