"This is one of the largest tax hikes in American history, and it will be enacted by presidential decree without so much as a single vote of Congress." [UPDATED]

"Peter Navarro [a Trump 'economics' advisor] is promising a $600 billion/year tax hike (hence $6 trillion in a decade) from the April 2nd tariff package.
