Trump conquers Republicans on trade

Free-trading Republicans have feuded with the president for years now, and his decision on Monday to reimpose tariffs on Brazil and Argentina brought new criticism from GOP senators — right as he needs them to fend off the impeachment inquiry that threatens his presidency.Yet despite the complaints from Senate Republicans that Trump is eroding his party’s free trade bona fides, the GOP seemingly can’t — or won’t — rally the votes to handcuff the president.

"Even if this action were legitimate, the statutory window for imposing these tariffs has closed," said Sen. Pat Toomey . | Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images “Normally I don’t like tariffs but if it’s a tool to make people live by the rules of international trade, I’ll support them,” Grassley said.

Wonder who realDonaldTrump found to close that umbrella for him? He certainly is incapable.

I love this picture; I have since I seen the view yesterday. I see how he lathers in his power and enjoys the disregard to others. Unfortunately, he symbolizes and represents a portion of our country. It’s sad that the GOPSenate is enabling the realDonaldTrump

DJT inept unqualified. dumpgop

Ya confused me here GOP SENATORS are against latest tariffs but aren't opposed to them? WTF?

resistandgrow 😂 😂 😂 😂 Those GOP senators are scared of Trump like he can strike them with lightning if they cross him. Meh, they'll never vote to convict him.

Hey Trump, how much do you expect these Republican congressmen to continue to back you.

“Yet despite the complaints from Senate Republicans that Trump is eroding his party’s free trade bona fides, the GOP seemingly can’t — or won’t — rally the votes to handcuff the president.” The mind reels.

They should give him a Brazilian waxing in retaliation.

Brain dead

Trump is the penguin

Yeah but the GOP will contort themselves endless in defense of Donald Debt. They're in for the penny and in for the pound because they've ceded the Republican Party to the angry orange avatar and his brand of vengeful, white identity politics.

American medical system is stiff and low efficiency. Who can improve it, who I will vote.

This man is so out of control it’s not funny.

Clowns. Every single gop senator. I would like to remind them that the Republicans have almost always been for free trade! God forbid they upset Dear Leader.

He was a Democrat long before he was a Republican .. The swamp is on both sides..
