As fallout continues from Trump's severe tariff policy on virtually all U.S. trading partners, some GOP senators are warning about the risks for American families.
Except it’s on purpose that they’re only doing so now that it’s too late.
They’ve known for years that, should he be allowed to infest the White House again, the Mango Mussolini would institute tariffs again, but still they supported him wholeheartedly, only to pretend to take a principled stand the day after most of them come into effect.
It’s pure posturing from two career invertebrates who have made a career of the basest demagoguery and political fraud.
Better late than never. Instead of criticizing then for it, we should be encouraging it

It’s not too late. Tariffs can be rolled back
If you bribe Trump, sure, but they’ve already done tremendous damage to both the US and the rest of the world. Can’t roll that back.
You want them NOT to convince him?
I’m saying that their empty posturing won’t convince him.
Especially since he knows they’ll cower the moment he lobs a mean tweet equivalent their way.
What will convince him, then? I think Republicans speaking out against tariffs is the only thing that possibly can
Already told you so: bribes. Maybe flattery and groveling from foreign leaders.
You realize thee Congress controls tariffs, right? They have already introduced a bill stripping Trump of these powers. He said he’d veto it.
To overcome a veto (or to pass the bill at all) you need Republican votes unless you’re going to suffer until midterms
Bipartisan effort to give control back to Congress
