Summary
Top Democrats, led by Chuck Schumer, are criticizing Trump’s new tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China, warning they will raise prices for American families.
Trump is imposing 25% tariffs on most Canadian and Mexican goods and 10% on Chinese imports, prompting retaliatory moves.
Democrats argue the tariffs unfairly hurt workers while benefiting corporations. Trump acknowledged potential economic pain but defended the move.
Meanwhile, Democratic senators introduced a bill to require congressional approval for tariffs, and even business groups allied with Trump are voicing concerns.
a majority of their colleagues have orange & shit-stained faces, who are all-in on on fucking-up the country for diaper’s string-pullers and financiers.
congress isn’t gonna stop or fix a fucking thing until the voters wake the fuck up and fill the capitol with a veto-proof opposition. a veto-proof majority is also conveniently enough for congress’ role in amending the constitution, and for impeachments and convictions.
Congress never had control of tariffs.
a large enough majority would have the ultimate in ‘control’
Well let’s start building that majority who can actually show up and vote. And maybe next time don’t weaken your own candidates.
Maybe next time listen to someone to the left of Netanyahu.
No
Next time I remember that there is no one pure enough for you fuckers even when we are facing down Donald Trump.
Enjoy Trump deporting Free Palestine protesters dumbass.
Just because that’s how it’s always been doesn’t meet it should be immune from change.
Who should control tariffs?
The House is Republican
The Senate is Republican.
The Courts are Republican
The President is Republican.
It’s a sweep from the top down. Good luck. Next time win some politics before complaining. For now we just gotta sit tight and take it.
Even if Biden and Co passed laws to change who controls tariffs, the Republican sweep would have given them those levers of power anyway.
