They don't have the guts to stand up to Trump. Look at the likes of Graham, Rubio, even Cruz.

They know what a disaster Trump is, have called him unqualified and a danger. And they bend over and take it from him out of fear.

So I’ve seen this narrative several times now. A couple from you. They work for Trump. He is the boss. They do as he directs. If they don’t want to they should resign, not openly dissent against their boss. No senior executive would put up with that, ever.

Rubio does. But do you think that Trump is the boss of the Senate ? Having a hard time believing you actually think that.

You mean like this? Several GOP have spoken out. I remember Grassley speaking out against it also.

They need to take action. Pass legislation and override the veto.

Isn’t there already legislation in the Senate on the North American tariffs? It’s been two days since this absolutely moronic unforced self inflicted monstrous error was committed and they haven’t even already gone fully into effect yet and yet we see a few GOP power brokers openly break with Trump on this.

There are now bipartisan bills in both chambers. Ask and ye shall receive. It goes without saying that Dems will vote en bloc to rein in the orange one so only a few GOPers and it’s done.

My guess is before it gets to that there will be closed door meetings telling Trump he can either relent and claim victory and take his “well deserved” victory lap on these idiotic tariffs or he will force Congress’s hand to act.

I mean the world bank reports 1.4 million in exports to the US from those penguins...what would you need to be convinced??? I'm curious..

14k the years previous. And that’s the 22 number. And is listed as equipment. So likely the place was dismantled and sold off as salvage.
I think 23 and 34 were zero. And in a multi billion dollar industry 1.4 is just above nothing.

So it would need to be some sort of real evidence that someone might actually try an end run

The money we pay to the world and the amount of tarrifs they put on us is truly sad. Yet so many politicians are fine with this. Say what you will about trump, at least he's trying to help Americans

Wait, I thought the tariffs are there so foreigners pay our income taxes? I thought the tariffs are there so we can bring all the factories back to America?

REALITY: All of this is because Trump has the nonsensical belief that if we buy more stuff from another country than they buy from us, we're being "ripped off." That's it. That's what this is all about. There is no grand plan in action, other than to make himself the center of attention.

the US has been ripped off for decades in trade deficits losing billions of dollars and millions of jobs.

tarriffs can be used to reduce or eliminate taxes. if ALL tarriffs are eliminated the US can sell billions/trillions of more goods in other country requiring more factory output which requires factories to expand hiring more people.

reality: is the left would love to see the US fail and other countries succeed simply because of TDS.

Leakage isn’t a quiet assassin. It’s always fully known by each industry, moving sourcing from China to Vietnam or S Korea, Indonesia, while still fully owned by China is never a secret or a short term play…takes time to build factories there too. If it’s not a secret, it can be slapped w a tariff. Also, Extra factories = excess capacity = dumping.

That is an absolutely moronic hot take based on the question asked. I feel pretty confident nobody … er… no penguin on the islands in question would be willing to sign a deal as a pass thru shipper 😂

it makes sense to tarriff country to stop leakages. A tarriff on small countries has no effect on that country or the US.


shouldn't have Trump lost the election and be sitting in jail right now according to the leftists? how many times will Trump prove the leftist to be wrong?

There is no possible way to sell a tariff on two island chains inhabited only by penguins as providing some loophole closure. It’s clearly an oversight f)&@up

Biden wrong that prices of new, used cars have fallen

During a recent CNN town hall, a questioner pressed President Joe Biden about price increases during the economic recove

Auto Prices Are Up 25 Percent and Likely to Go Higher Under Biden Proposals

Auto prices are skyrocketing under Biden, up 25 percent already and headed higher. New cars now average $48,000, with inflation-driven…
www.instituteforenergyresearch.org www.instituteforenergyresearch.org

edit;
I looked on Google for information on car prices under biden and Google turned up nothing on Biden for pages. All Google had was stories about Trump's tarriffs might raise car prices. I even put "Biden" and "car prices" in quotes and still nothing. I had to use Brave search to find info on car prices under Biden skyrocketing......so there is more left wing bias hiding truth about biden
