The devil is in the details but this is pretty hilarious if Newsom can make it work.

Also from the article:
“Analysis by the Yale Budget Lab found that the Trump Administration's announced tariffs are expected to drive up overall inflation by 2.3 percent this year alone. This includes a projected 2.8 percent increase in food prices and an 8.4 percent jump in automotive prices—resulting in an estimated $3,800 hit to the average American household.” 🫠

The tariffs are unconstitutional.
This is unconstitutional.
