Some #Republicans are pushing back on #tariffs and one quite loudly.

Will it work? That remains to be seen butI predict that this will affirm the fear of many #Republican voters leading to them calling & writing to their own #Senators & #Representatives. That & the wave of #Democratic might *make* a difference. How much these leaders care about their own ellectorate is unclear, but they *do* care about their own #power & #prestige.

"Trump says he’s not backing down on tariffs, calls them ‘medicine’ as markets reel"

No matter how hard the #Republicans and #Trump lie, this has nothing to do with "returning jobs to American soil" and rebuilding the United States as some sort of 1950s all-industries global powerhouse

It has entirely to do with graft and baksheesh:

"BAKSHEESH is payment (such as a tip or bribe) to expedite service"

Come groveling to Trump on your knees, kiss Trump's ...

... ring

and see what sort of a deal Trump is willing to cut you

“Rep Issa just asked Republican leaders on their conference call if they could get a briefing from the admin on the Trump tariffs.

The Hill has been largely left in the dark on what the admin is trying to accomplish. GOP lawmakers have been left trying to make sense of the mishmash of a message coming from various corners of the admin.”
-J Sherman

A positive sign, even MAGA Congressman Issa is concerned about Trump’s #tariffs.

"You’re not born fascist, you become one. And you don’t necessarily stay one forever.

But you can’t stop someone from being a fascist by showing empathy or endless understanding.

You don’t convert them to beat them. You have to beat them first to convert them.
They’ll stop being fascists once they’re defeated."
Michel Feher
