I did.

You quoted my point that technically we are at war with what is clearly a counterpoint.
Quote:"Pretty sure Mexico isn't a terrorist nation and technically Congress hasn't declared war."
My response was "It is called Afghanistan." Which is a snarky way of saying "look we are at war right now."
Just because I don't use a conflict mentioned in the article does not make my point less valid.
You don't have to agree with my statements but you seem to either be extremely obtuse or have a comprehension problem.
I mean whether you believe we are a war or not is up to you. But it is clear that Trump can raise tariffs without Congress if he chooses to do so.
I think for my sanity I need to put you and TJ on the old ignore list. You just rub me the wrong way like sandpaper.
Forgive me everyone else.

And my focus is on Mexico which is the subject of your thread. Who we are in conflict with is not the issue, but whether or not Trump could increase our tariffs if he tried. I think there is a better chance he won't attempt it.
