Appearing on CBS’s Face the Nation—a go-to outlet for the anti-Trump establishment—Bacon told anchor Margaret Brennan, “I support the legislation that Senator Grassley and Senator Cantwell (introduced). I have some support on the House bill, which we will unveil tomorrow.”
The bill he’s pushing mirrors a proposal from Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Democrat Senator Maria Cantwell (D-WA). It seeks to kneecap Trump’s authority by requiring the president to give Congress a 48-hour heads-up before enacting tariffs and provide a “detailed rationale” for each move.
Even worse, the legislation would force Congress to vote on every new tariff within 60 days—or else the tariffs automatically vanish. That means even tariffs aimed at China—America’s biggest economic rival—would need permission from a dysfunctional Congress that can’t even agree on what day it is.
WATCH:
Bacon admitted the bill faces serious headwinds in the House, where Speaker Mike Johnson is holding the line with Trump. Johnson has vowed to block any legislation that undermines the President’s economic warfare against foreign profiteers.
Still, Bacon is betting that a downturn in the markets will hand him and his allies the momentum they need. “It will be harder to pass this in the House, no doubt,” he told Brennan. “But if we get 60 votes in the Senate, it will put pressure on the House to look at this (bill).”

He went even further, appearing to root for economic turmoil to justify his anti-tariff crusade. “If we continue to see the stock market go a certain direction or if we see inflation or unemployment shift in a bad way, this becomes a very viable bill,” Bacon said. “It will not pass tomorrow… But this will be in the queue we can use.”
Translation: if Americans suffer, he thinks his globalist-friendly bill might have a shot.
This development comes as Trump’s trade agenda gains support among working-class voters, blue-collar industries, and even some key GOP leaders. The President’s supporters view the tariffs not as a tax—but as a long-overdue shield against nations that have taken America’s kindness for weakness.
With 2024 behind him and 2028 wide open, Trump is once again proving that he’s ready to put America first—and expose every RINO and sellout who stands in the way.
Stay tuned. The fight for America’s economic soul is just beginning.
