I’m outraged and it is my firm belief that everyone who voted for President Trump, and every person who did not vote for him, but has since his election has come to support the actions he is taking should be outraged as well.  And, I’ll tell you why.

I support President Trump’s position on reciprocal tariffs, despite the Wall Street bankers and the “we know more than you money-managers.”  To me, fairness, i.e., equity in tariffs, is common sense.  I’m not a financial wizard.  I’m a consumer who’s family works hard for what they have.  We save such as we can and ask only for a level, fair economic environment with those whom America does business.

Thus, it is beyond betrayal of the American consumer when President Trump is doing his level best to ensure fairness and America first principles for the benefit of all Americans, only to have: Senators Susan Collins (R-ME), Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Rand Paul (R-KY), and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) vote with Democrats to curb President Trump’s tariff authority.

Add to those just mentioned, Senator Maria Cantwell (R-WA) and Chuck Grassley (R-IA), introduced so-called bi-partisan legislation to reassert a congressional trade role.  Their so-call bi-partisan legislation would require the President, in this case President Trump, to explain his reasoning and the impact of new tariffs to Congress within 60-days unless Congress explicitly approves the tariffs.  (Note: They did this Thursday, just as Canada was agreeing to end all tariffs.  Do you think this will encourage them to do so now?  But, I digress.)

As I said, this is the height of betrayal to the American voters.  What they have effectively done is single those such as China, et al that they can stall coming to the table and agreeing to mutually beneficial trade deals until the lap-dog media and the Democrats demagogue President Trump’s efforts using scare and fright campaigns that cause financial disruption so as to derail the efforts of President Trump.  This is an intentional betrayal of We the People.

These same RINOs who have had decades, Grassley has been in office since 1981, and have done nothing to ease the burden of Americans and American industry with respect to the disproportionate tariffs.  Now, when President Trump is willing to make the hard decisions, they claim they are acting in the best interest of the American workers by sabotaging him.

President Trump’s reciprocal tariff proposals will be a boom for the American automobile industry and American manufacturing.  But, these villainous betrayers are stabbing both President Trump and We the People in the back, expecting us to thank them for their treachery.

McConnell’s wife is Elaine Chao, was Secretary of Transportation under George W. Bush.  The kindest thing that can be said about her, is that China and America’s trade adversaries loved her and still do.

I am outraged at this betrayal.  President Trump #45, used tariffs to leverage the best trade deals ever: USMCA, deals with Japan, South Korea, China Phase One; all trade trade agreements we are still benefiting from.

I firmly believe President Trump will renegotiate reciprocal tariffs and new trade agreements to our advantage.  But, this vile, pernicious marplots have are sabotaging his efforts by signalling to our enemies that they can stall as the political and media apparatchiks undermine his efforts.

As President Trump’s Secretary of Commerce, Howard Lutnick said of Trump’s former vice-president, Mike Pence, who on Thursday attempted to use scare tactics claiming: “Tariffs will be a massive tax burden on Americans”; Lutnick responded: “Mike Pence is just bitter.  These tariffs are the definition of America first, which is a concept that Pence doesn’t understand.”

What Pence and the others do understand is that they have been getting rich selling out America.  As President Trump rightly pointed out, these people were wrong about NAFTA, they were wrong China and they were wrong about the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which President Trump cancelled in his first term.

What President Trump and Elon Musk have proven, is that these people have profited massively, by knowingly embracing anti-American deals.

I stand with President Trump.  I understand that there is a potential for short term pain, to make massive long term gains.  I look back at what President Trump did for our economy in his first term and I am more than willing to support his vision for same in this his second term.

It is disgusting that these people who have been in office for decades and accomplished nothing but debt, and the complete betrayal of the American workers, are now the ones claiming President Trump is bad for America.

We need to understand that politicians who have made careers of kneeling to extortionists for personal gain, of course will view anyone who stands up to our enemies as being a bully.

What President Trump realizes, is that you and I cannot afford to be at the mercy of unfair trade for automobile parts, the most basic pharmaceutical products, steel, appliances, etc.  These politicians don’t care because they are in the pockets of the enemy. But, since NAFTA in the early 1990’s, we’ve seen 90,000 factories close in America, many because it cheaper to do business elsewhere.  For these politicians the plan to end this trend has been talk and more talk coupled with vacuous promises.

It’s time to end this and regrow America.  And, President Trump is the only one with the will to Make America Great Again.  The politicians like those I’ve referenced here, are willing to lie to get reelected, but they’re not willing to work to restore America.
