I think it depends on if you call it a "tax" or a "fee". I read somewhere that Trump can impose a fee w/o congressional approval. OK already does it.It's a taking. From citizens and people here legally. You assert a potus can do this unilaterally. I disagree, unless you can support your assertion.Please remember that this proposal is not a new tax on Americans. It is a fee on money transfers out of the US.I wouldn't rely upon Colter for support that a potus can raise taxes w/o congress.Even Ann Coulter agrees that Trump needs to impose a tax on remittances, money sent out of the US, to pay for the wall. He doesn't even need congressional approval to do it.

But yeah, Trump should have gone this route when he had the House. But it was never gonna get 60 votes in the Senate. But still. It would have been a better hill to fight from than shutting down TSA and Tax Refunds.
