Supreme Court justices like to talk about the Constitution's separation of powers
and how it limits the exercise of official authority.
But Chief Justice John G. Roberts and his conservative colleagues have given no sign so far they will check Donald Trump's one-man governance by executive order.
To the contrary,
the conservative justices have repeatedly ruled for Trump on fast-track appeals
and overturned federal judges who said the president had exceed…

Tariffs and birthright citizenship will test whether Trump's power has limits
The Supreme Court's conservatives have yet to put limits on Trump's broad claims of executive power.

Mark Chadbourn summarized it well on Blue sky,
Trump’s tariffs could be one of the biggest contributors to economic inequality in American history.
The money raised by them will allow Trump to achieve his aim of slashing taxes for the wealthy. Meanwhile the cost of the tariffs will be paid by working people through increased prices.

Trump’s Tariffs Are Making Money. That May Make Them Hard to Quit.
The tariffs are a substantial new source of revenue for the federal government. The budget may start to depend on it.

Trump’s tariff threats have turned into a play for cold, hard cash

essentially demanding that trading partners show him the money in the form of investment pledges or else face astronomically high tariffs

Trade Policy and Structural Change
We examine how tariffs affect sectoral composition and welfare in an economy with nonhomothetic preferences and sectors being complements -- key drivers of structural change. Beyond their conventional role in trade protection, tariffs influence industrial structure by altering relative prices and income levels. We qualitatively characterize these mechanisms and use a quantitative dynamic model to show that a counterfactual 20-percentage-point increase in U.S. manufacturing tariffs since 2001 wo…
