Until Trump loses at least 40% of all likely republican primary voters, republicans will not have the spine to go against him directly, at least in sufficient numbers to do anything.

This is antithetical to everything Republicans stand for, this has to be where the line is drawn...right?

We can only hope all those decades of fast food will eventually catch up with him. Sooner rather than later.

I suspect he's bluffing. Trump thank heavens at the end of the day does not have the balls to do the most insane things that come out of his mouth, that he has the power to do on his own (he backed way off from the steel tariff thing, that is now down to bashing just China mostly at the moment). Just why POTUS has the unilateral power to levy tariffs is a bit disturbing in and of itself.

This is so politically damaging in Iowa, Kansas, Illinois, and parts of Minnesota.

Of what? New lips, to replace the ones worn away kissing assorted bits of the Mad Muppet's anatomy and non-existent clothing?

Liberals  hate tariffs because they’re economically bad but love higher taxes and more regulation. Major hypocrisy.

Conservatism is consistent even if the party is not.

If the US and China stop trading with each other, it's one step closer to WW3.

I for one think this is one of his few good ideas, if I was President I’d institute a 20% Tariff on all imported goods in order to save American manufacturing (this would be instituted along with Single-Payer healthcare, Free College, a 15-dollar minimum wage, and a simplified Progressive Tax code).
