Republicans won't do anything to stop Trump from wrecking the economy [View all]
As new economic data shows that President Donald Trump’s trade war is sending the U.S. economy off a cliff, you’d think Republicans would be spooked enough to claw back some of the power they’ve ceded to Dear Leader.
But that’s not happening.
This past Wednesday, Senate Republicans voted against GOP Sen. Rand Paul’s bill to repeal Trump's nonsensical “Liberation Day” tariffs, which are threatening to cause product shortages, spike inflation, and send the economy into a painful recession.
“Many of us in this chamber have heard from constituents concerned about the economic impact of the tariffs,” Republican Sen. Mike Crapo of Idaho told The New York Times, but he added that he voted against repealing the tariffs because Trump is trying to negotiate trade deals and believes senators “should not undermine these negotiations by the president at this critical juncture.”
