Well, it looks like another “Republican” is ready to throw sand in the gears of President Trump’s America First agenda—and this time it’s Rep. Don Bacon of Nebraska. Bacon, best known for cheerleading endless billions to Ukraine and voting for Pelosi’s hyper-partisan January 6 Committee, is now targeting Trump’s successful use of tariffs by introducing legislation to limit the president’s power on trade.
Yes, really. At a time when President Trump is standing up to foreign countries, protecting American workers, and finally rebalancing our lopsided trade system, Don Bacon is teaming up with Democrats and Wall Street elites to stop him. You can’t make this up.
On Face the Nation, Bacon announced he’ll be pushing a House companion bill to the Senate’s “Trade Review Act of 2025,” a bipartisan effort led by Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Maria Cantwell (D-WA). The bill would require the president to notify Congress 48 hours before imposing tariffs and provide a detailed economic analysis. In other words, more bureaucratic red tape designed to neuter presidential authority just when it’s needed most.
🚨 WTF? Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) just announced he will be introducing legislation to BLOCK President Trump’s ability to levy tariffs on other nations.
The people of Nebraska deserve better.

Bacon says it’s about restoring congressional powers. Funny how these guys never talk about restoring border security powers or limiting executive overreach when it’s a Democrat president flooding the country with illegal migrants or signing ESG mandates into law. But the minute Trump wields the tools of the presidency to help American manufacturers and put tariffs on countries that have been gouging us for decades—that’s when Bacon suddenly finds his inner constitutionalist.
Let’s be honest: this has nothing to do with the Constitution and everything to do with soothing Wall Street donors. Cantwell even bragged about the corporate enthusiasm for the bill. “It’s received glowing reviews from Wall Street,” she said. Of course it has—global financial elites love cheap foreign labor and hate anything that puts America first.
Bacon claims “this is not what we voted for.” Really? Because millions of Americans voted for a president who puts the U.S. economy ahead of China, Mexico, and Brussels. They voted for tariffs that work—that bring jobs back, make trade fair, and stop letting other countries treat us like a doormat.
If Bacon and his Senate pals think this is a winning message, they’re out of touch. Trump isn’t the problem—he’s the course correction. And voters know it.
