Do you think that Trump's trade deals will get approved by Congress?

Trump has struck trade agreements with multiple countries that are good for the American people. Do you think they would get approved by Congress? Would chamber of commerce RINOs vote no just because they set a baseline tariffs on imports on countries in those deals? Will democrats vote against the billions in investment in America just because of Orange Man Bad?

Doubtful. There is no longer pretense for resisting him for the good of America. They suicided that lie with the shutdown.

Do I think Congress will actually do something?

No, Republicans are useless. They are incapable of doing anything

Should they? Yes. Will they? No

Trump already did all the hard work, but Congress will just piss it all away.

Most of them have not actually been signed and are little more than a press release.

I am not opposed to tariffs given the world economic environment we are in.

However, I will play contrarian and say this:

Congress approved Trump's new NAFTA a few years ago and yet here we are with Canada apparently enemy #1 or #2 (after China) on trade issues. That would give me pause if I was a member of Congress asked to approve these deals.

They are going through the bureaucratic process right now but they will be signed early next year. Do you think that Congress will approve them once they are signed?

Why would it give you pause? Canada kept doing bad things so Trump kept countering. Do you want a weak leader who doesn't adjust strategies based on another's actions?

That's a very lofty goal. The trump admin promised 90 deals in 90 days, which any reasonable person should have known was a horrifically stupid lie on it's face. In reality we haven't gotten a single comprehensive trade deal in his second term.

If he's actually able to get one put together there's a decent chance it could pass congress. His revamp of NAFTA got passed in his first administration, but that was back when he had a few competent people around him. Now that he only has borderline retards with no experience I doubt that any real deals ever get detailed enough that it could actually be turned into legislation.
