The control of tariffs. We are getting closer. There are already 7 republican senators for a bill in the senate to do just that.
On the house side, Johnson is trying to block it but each day the market sheds 1500 points we are getting closer.

We only need 4 more senators and about the same number of house members.

Imagine the meltdown that Trump will have if his preferred toy , i.e the power to manipulate tariffs is pulled back.
