Trump does not have the power to tax imports.

Article I, Section 8 gives Congress the power to "lay and collect taxes, duties, imports, and excises." The Constitution allows Congress to tax in order to "provide for the common defense and general welfare."

This ploy is more about blue-collar vote in midterms.
