Board moderates have been telling me all week that supporting tariffs is leftist policy.

So, if Trump is doing what the leftists want why aren't they rallying behind him?

Browsing all their mouthpieces (CNN, MSNBC, etc.) they're all quite upset today.

Hypocrisy is not just a characteristic of MAGA. News at 11.

If this has been happening “all week” can you tell me one example of an admin making this claim?

Why didn't Biden get rid of Trump's tariffs? He didn't need Congress to do so.

Hell I believe he actually added to them.

Dems don’t really seem to have principles, and definitely no economic ideas.

If a sisgendered they/them/thing was president they’d be all about this. That’s how intellectually lazy they are.

It's almost like tariffs, in and of themselves, aren't a left or right policy/issue.

MAGA is literally adopting DEM economic ideas

Don't believe me? Go to the thread about Nancy Pelosi.

In the age of populism when economics goes left? Not as much.

I never said any admins are making this claim. Not sure where you're getting that from. But there is a board moderate who has already responded who was one of several who has told me that tariffs are leftist policy.

Oh my bad. I misread moderate as moderator. (I was up all night with the tornado sirens).

I’m still new here. Forgive me.

Carry on……….

They were for them. Before they were against them.

SFP, the smartest man in the room (aside from a journalist), is here to lecture you on economic policy because he has a JD.

They don’t care about tariffs. They care about power and money. The unions were part their voter base and they left them for open borders and illegals (Obama utopia and globalism).

You act like it's my argument. I'm arguing Milton Friedman and Thomas Sowell.

Because ANY Dem out there would rather suck start a shotgun than get behind anything Trump does that might be good.

Consider, they aren't well or reasonable people.
They tell us a man can be a woman. Keep your expectations low my friend.

They are proponents of one sided tariffs?
