'Out of control' Trump bashed by Jamie Raskin over Saturday morning threats

During a pre-scheduled appearance on MSNBC on Saturday morning, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) was alerted that Donald Trump had just issued new threats aimed at the EU and Mexico and was asked to respond.

What started out as a discussion on the war at the Department of Justice between Attorney General Pam Bondi and the FBI's Kash Patel and Dan Bongino took a turn when 'The Weekend" host Jonathan Capehart alerted the Maryland Democrat that Trump had just posted on Truth Social.

"I want to get your reaction to some breaking news that is happening right now on the president's social media platform, where he announced 30 percent tariff rate for the European Union starting on August 1st," Capehart noted before adding Mexico also faces a 30 percent tariff.

"Well, maybe I should stop talking because it sounds like he's completely out of it, sounds like he's completely out of control," Raskin replied. "Look, the International Court of Trade, the American court system has been uniform and emphatic about this, right? Congress, under Article 1 of the Constitution, has the power to regulate commerce among the states and with foreign nations."

"Congress has always been the one to control tariffs, and in limited cases has delegated power to the president," he added. "Now we've got a president who claims he's got the power to impose tariffs on the entire world, except for Russia, of course."
