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.
Doing their best Captain Obvious impression…
While desperately hoping everyone forgets we had the same political capital four years and they did Jack shit to mitigate any damage a second trump presidency could do.
Moderates can’t fight fascism, because they’re going to say whatever is “in the middle” of basic human decency and fascism is the best path.
Gotta compromise you know, doesn’t matter what the opposition wants, the correct path is somewhere between that and what everyone in the country wants. I am very smart and politically savvy.
