Not that any of the bootlickers in Congress would actually stand up to his stupidity.

Eventually the fentanyl/national security horse*** isn’t going to work anymore. Can’t remember where I read it, but it sounds like Canada has filed a dispute with the WTO over the illegality of the Americans breaking their existing trade agreement. Trump and the GOP know that their national emergency excuse is a load of bunk and that they don’t have a leg to stand on in regards to their reasoning.
My guess is that they’ll keep pulling the 30-day reprieve crap for as long as they can before finding some kind of an an off-ramp to save face, likely with the renegotiation of USMCA.
They’ll then spin it as a win to soothe Trump’s ego and the MAGA cult will applaud. “See? He’s the best deal maker ever!”
