Where in the Constitution does it say that the president should decide what Americans should or shouldn't be making? Where does it say that he should decide what I am or am not able to buy, or how much I should pay for things? Where does it say that he should decide what is or isn't a "better deal" for American companies engaged in international trade?
As I remember, we got rid of a king that was trying to make those kinds of decisions for us.
