President Trump has ignored advice from his Republican advisers that he should be careful in his efforts to lower tariffs on U.S. goods, the Washington Post reported.
Republican advisers have told Trump in recent weeks that his ongoing trade war with China could backfire and end up harming those he claims to be fighting for: his base.
“Both sides will suffer on this,” Trump’s National Economic Council Director Larry Kudlow said on Sunday, per the Post, arguing that the Trump administration’s increased tariffs on Chinese imports would end up harming Americans.
But the President reportedly thinks that his supporters believe he is sticking his neck out for them and they’ll award him with a reelection, according to the Post.
Not only will his base NOT punish him, but his “advisers” will eventually come to defend him.
We don’t need the whole base to punish him. About 125,000-150,000 of them would be enough.
Cults rarely “punish” their leaders.
But cults have potentials for disaster, though…
If they swallow the shit sandwich proffered by Kudlow , they’ll eat anything
They have been tiptoeing around tariffs on items that would make it immediately apparent of the damage. There will be a trickle down and the impacts of steel and agriculture are apparent now
Thanks to the dismissal of TPT China has picked up the slack in the region and has a buffer against the US
We just need to keep pushing the meme
It’s a tax stupid!
China ain’t payin’ for shit
You are
Sadly, he’s probably right.
