9:57Now PlayingDuring a heated congressional hearing, Rep. Gregory Meeks pressed Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Donald Trump’s justification for sweeping tariffs and the claim that long-standing trade deficits suddenly constitute a “national emergency.”
Meeks challenged contradictions in Trump’s economic messaging — taking credit for a strong economy under Joe Biden while blaming Biden for economic weakness after Trump returned to office — and raised constitutional concerns about bypassing Congress on trade policy.
In this episode of Liberal Lens, we explain:
• Why “national emergency” declarations matter legally
• How tariff authority is supposed to work under the Constitution
• Why economic credibility depends on consistency
• How tariffs impact everyday Americans
This isn’t about partisan theater. It’s about whether economic policy is being driven by facts — or by convenience.
