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.
The qons love a regressive tax. At least the elitist ones do.
We’ll see how much the average red hat likes it. But I’m sure they’ll be distracted with lots of bullshit about immigrants, wokeness, DEI, etc…I suppose if the demons running the place break things hard enough, they might give the worst-hit, but most loyal, red hats an offer for a new job, with a nice uniform, to work for the government…
