Show me the legislation that has "targeted" those industries. Show me the legislation or EO's that take forcible control of those industries.

Who said anything about legislation? Once again, you're moving the goalposts after losing an argument. Legislation doesn't start in the Executive Branch, dimwit. Trump's unilateral actions on tariffs are harming dozens of companies and industries, just as he intends to harm other companies/industries with his obnoxious, dishonest and targeted tweets (over the objections of cowed Republicans).

No one moved the goalposts, pissant. The only way that this government can "control of industry and commerce" - as you accuse - is by enacting legislation, executive order or regulation. If anything, the regulatory environment for business has become less restrictive under Trump. There has been no EO's and no legislation that would establish additional control of industry and commerce.

Tariffs are not "control of industry and commerce" to the level that fascists would practice it, so swing and a miss.

So, enlighten me. Where has this government assumed "control of industry and commerce"?
