Summary
Sen. Mitch McConnell warns that Trump’s tariffs could cost the average Kentuckian up to $1,200 annually, raising consumer prices and harming industries reliant on global trade.
He argues that trade wars hurt working people most, citing past retaliatory tariffs on Kentucky products like bourbon.
While acknowledging the need to counter China’s unfair trade practices, McConnell urges cooperation with allies rather than broad protectionism.

When the fuck did McConnell give a shit about the “little people”?
Well, good job, dumbass, because you enabled this “maga” nonsense.
Gee, if only Mitch had known someone in some high position with an actual chance to stop the fucking Trump train…
Yeah no shit and you’ve been acting against our best interests for decades
Turtle faces are just as tasty to a leopard.
Remember that bourbon can be made anywhere in the United States (and not just Kentucky)–if you’re a bourbon fan, find a blue state distillery you like to keep the pressure on, if only in a small way.
No shit.
Is that a face-eating-leopard I hear around the corner?
They’re coming, just give them some time! They’re getting really fat and it’s hard for them to move around
It has only been a few weeks and the poor leopards are already getting into morbid obesity territory. I hope they can hold out…
This is something I didn’t know I needed
McConnell and his fuckery with SCOTUS nominations alone is why things are so dire right now. The world would be a better place if he’d not ever been in it.
He is a true bred piece of diarrhea dipped turd.
Too late turtle fucker, you set the stupid ball in motion and stacked the courts. This is so far outside your control.
He’s going to be dead in <5 years anyway, so why does he even bother keeping up this vague appearance of giving a shit?
Fuck this guy. He’s always been party above country, too late to change his tune now. If he’d had any integrity at all, he wouldn’t have voted to acquit Trump while simultaneously saying he was guilty.
Maybe he grew a conscience?.. Lolololololol
Moscow Mitch? I doubt it
Deathbed lucidity?
“oww! My legacy!”
He’s trying to Jumpstart the media’s sane-washing, just like McCain
This is something that was well understood prior to the election, by everyone including yourself Mitch.
Your grave will be a public toilet.
Has Mitch been in a fucking coma? Did the fall provide him a moment of lucidness? The absolute GALL to try to separate himself from the exact scenario he enabled, after it happened!
Glad you could wake up and smell the economic collapse McConnell. Democrats, economists, most people two brain cells to rub together predicted it, but too late now. Kentucky believed in you - you’ve failed your voters, your local businesses and the country. That’s YOUR legacy, you enabling piece of trash.
He didn’t enable it, he orchestrated it. His actions were instrumental in getting us here.
Don’t minimize his involvement.
Definitely. I’m not great on the specifics, but I remember as far back as him blocking Supreme Court nominees under Obama because it was an election year, and then allowing Trump to do the same thing.

They’d rather Trump be in the White House and hurting everyday Americans than have to work with the “other side”.
Working with the “Democrat Party” would turn them gay, or make them soft like a woman, either of which is anathema to them…
wutcha gonna do about it, moscow mitch? oppose the ‘president’ at every turn? or fall to your knees and pucker up?
What’s that creaking noise? Oh, Mitch’s knees.
Mitch absolutely screwed us with the Supreme Court for much long after he’s dead.
However, I think you really show where you stand on things when you don’t have to worry about being challenged in a primary.
