Donald Trump has been holding a series of public speaking events, including a panel about stopping China's threat to the country's agricultural wing. One of his campaign focal points has been placing tariffs on China, and others who export their products to the United States, but Congress may not allow the former president to do so, though Trump thinks he can do it without Congress.

The Republican candidate has said that income from the heavy tariffs he will impose will help America trickle in boosted social security benefits. He believes countries are currently "ripping us off" due to Biden's weakness and lack of strength. Trump brought this point up at the presidential debate, but Kamala Harris retorted that the increase in tariffs would cost Americans more in the long run as prices shoot up.
Several economists have pushed back on Trump's plan, citing concerns that the perceived benefits may not pass.

workers, not much expansion can be achieved in an economy such as the U.S. that is close to full employment," Professor Barbara Spencer, a teacher at the University of British Columbia, told Newsweek.
"Any attempt at a major domestic expansion will instead increase inflationary pressures. Also, an objective to enhance U.S.
exports is likely to fail. By raising U.S.
costs, the tariffs will generally make U.S. exports less competitive," Spencer added.
It is dubious if Trump can even usurp Congress, as the legislative body has the ultimate power to make tax and tariff changes. Democrats will likely respond to Trump's answer as further evidence that he is a threat to the democratic process and longstanding institutions within the government..
