Not sure why you guys are surprised that Republicans are breaking with Trump on trade. Look up the TPP vote.
...except they’re not? At most they release “statements of concern”.
The Republican party, including Congress, no longer supports free trade. If they did Congress would actually be doing something other than hide.
Yeah, this is a reversal of Republican policy and it may lose them the support of farmers and agribusiness. The ridiculous thing is that this is something Trump legally shouldn't have any day over and still Congress does nothing. We're quickly losing any indication of Congress having any power whatsoever.
