That was Ford's point; at some point these tariffs have to be blessed by Congress or not and it only takes a couple of people to say "this is killing me politically" to back down. But breaking with Trump, for a Republican, is suicide in their next primary, to a point where that simply might not happen.
Seriously, a sensible and impartial redrawing of all congressional districts in the USA would solve a significant portion of what ails that country.
