So when do the Right Wing Senators and US Reps get pissed about the trade wars coming? [View all]

So Drumpf wants to renegotiate NAFTA. But that could easily put the midwestern states who export a lot to Canada and Mexico in serious trouble. Will the right wing Governors, Senators, and US Reps start throwing down on Drumpf or will they just roll over and take it. I'm sure many of these companies are big spenders to their campaigns. If those companies start stopping the funding they might wake the fuck up??

Lots of what ifs going on right now.
