Article 1 of the Constitution says tariffs should be levied by Congress. Congress made a mistake when they gave limited power over tariffs to the President.
The power of the purse resides in Congress and it should stay in Congress.

Censorship of the press, violation of the First Amendment!
This is a flat-out, clear-cut violation of the First Amendment.
Associated Press: “Today we were informed by the White House that if AP did not align its editorial standards with President Donald Trump’s executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, AP would be barred from accessing an event in the Oval Office.“
