Chaos and confusion. Tariffs on, then off, then on again. Formerly friendly trading partners appalled and angry. Everybody loses trade wars. The stock market falling. Prices in my local market rising. Uncertainty and complete lack of clarity about direction is apparent to Wall Street and Main Street.
Historically Republicans were opposed to tariffs but GOP Representatives and Senators continue to kiss the ring of the mad king. Under the National Emergencies Act, Congress has the power to end this so-called “emergency.” Congress needed to act on the resolution to end the false emergency within 15 days—so to dodge having to vote a bit of parliamentary trickery stops the clock until the end of the session.
Republican cowards, like lapdog Ben Cline, are enabling this authoritarian madness to continue. Trump inherited a strong economy that was the envy of the world. Less than two months in this presidency the economy is cratering… the administration says the economy is in “transition.” Transition to what… recession… or worse?
