Trump is just being Trump with his Mexico tariffs. It plays well to his base. One potentially good thing about Trump is that the power of the imperial Presidency will in all probability decline. Not a bad thing in and of itself.
In addition, Trump isn't going to close the border with Mexico for the very same reasons Massaro gave.

It is called Afghanistan.

Trump doesn't need a formal declaration of war according to the cited article.

The article is about tariffs and Mexico, not Afghanistan.

I did when ice referenced it and pretty sure Afghanistan wasn't mentioned, but I'll revisit it and check.

Quit trolling. There is legislation allowing Trump to raise tariffs even without a war. The Trade Act Of 1974. Plus The President has a lot of power in this area.
Is your next post going to deny current existing law?

Thanks for confirming Congress hasn't declared war on Afghanistan. Why did you bring Afghanistan up in post 9, which was your reply to post 6?
In post 3 I asked a question about Congress and tariffs with regard to Trump and Mexico and in post 4 you linked to a CNN article that answered my question.

You were implying that the article was not applicable since there was no formal declaration of war. There doesn't have to be. Now you will say you were not implying anything.
I don't think the War on Terror is over.
