As millions of Americans were set to lose federal food benefits amid the ongoing government shutdown, President Donald Trump hosted a glittering party at his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida.
#Republicans up for reelection to #Congress can only hope that voters forget they supported a man who called this guy a great friend, a "terrific guy." Despite the child raping and sex trafficking.
Liar, pervert and con man #DonaldTrump will distract with self-defeating #tariffs, loudmouth #lies about #Democrats. But he won't mention better, cheaper healthcare he promised 9 years ago. Or the guy he called a close friend, Jeffrey #Epstein.
It is adorable how "woke" and "identity politics" are used as weapons by people who cannot stand a level playing field. They are the same people who support someone with no prior elective office experience imposing a billionaire's wet dreams of inequality on Americans.
Ronald #Reagan not the only #Republican critical of #tariffs. Mitch #McConnell said,“Tariffs make both building and buying in America more expensive. The economic harms of trade wars are not the exception to history, but the rule.”
After one of his first-term State of the Union addresses, Trump even suggested that congressional Democrats might have committed “treason” because they failed to applaud to his satisfaction.
Senator Mitch McConnell denounced #TrumpTariffs today, before joining four other #Republicans in voting to rescind tariffs on Brazil.
#McConnell said,“Tariffs make both building and buying in America more expensive. The economic harms of trade wars are not the exception to history, but the rule.”
#Republicans hate their constituents so much that they are fighting hard to make health insurance affordable to millions fewer, reversing what President #Obama did in 2010 with the #ACA. #TrumpIsUnfit
#Trump is so out of it that he doesn't even remember what happened when he imposed broad-based #tariffs in his first #failure of a term as real estate developer turned president.
You may recall #DonaldTrump said in 2016 he'd fix the #immigration "crisis" by building a southern border wall that Mexico would pay for. He forgot. He forgot lots of promises--from lower consumer prices to better health insurance.
#DonaldTrump lies again. #ronaldreagan supported narrowly-targeted #tariffs, but did in fact oppose the scattershot, broad-based idiocy of #Trumptariffs, which force Americans to pay more for everything from imported cars, food, clothing, to medicines.
