Trump Barely Defeats Challenge to His Tariff War in Senate
”Donald Trump barely repelled a challenge to his global tariff offensive in the Republican-controlled US Senate as the president’s trade policy stokes public fears of inflation and recession.”
”The Senate tied 49-49 in a Wednesday vote on a resolution to end the barrage of import taxes the president announced earlier this month on China and most other US trading partners.”
Dead, anyway. It would have required the Orange signature to become actually real. Not gonna happen.
Yes - but it would have been a “shot across the bow” - a warning that they and their constituents are getting fed up with the circus act. Pretty hard for him to “talk” something like that away.
Until The Orange Goo came along, uncle Mitch was the epitome of Evil Goo. He's done perhaps more than any other to transform the Republican Party into an utter and complete subversive, obstructionist, Repugnant coup d'etat tool from within the government.
