Trump’s trade war has accomplished only one thing: chaos.

No details, no timeline, no plan.

His trade war is sending stock markets crashing, increases prices, hurting people’s retirement, and increasing the risk of a recession.

A graphic reads: This week puts to rest any notion that President Trump will deploy tariffs using his limited first-term playbook. Assume there will be import taxes on all kinds of stuff, all the time, for all sorts of stated reasons, for years to come. Why it matters: Trump's willingness to touch the hot stove of tariffs — even at the cost of higher consumer prices, a stock market slump, and disruption to America's deepest international relationships — is far higher than any president's in living memory.

  1. Step down. This is not the time for weak leaders like you who just wank to a fantasy of "norms" and bipartisanship. A fascist coup is taking place. Resign. You have failed everyone. You have betrayed everyone who every supported you (except your wealthy donors) #StepDown #WeakLeader #DietRepublican

  4. You purposely handicap yourself when you voted for CR so now congress doesn’t have a say on trumps tariffs. You will go down in history as the man who let fascism rise without a fight.

    Step Down Now!

  7. He wants us all poor. And sick. And uninformed. And without rights or recourse.

    Get your head out of your ass and act in an urgent manner or STEP DOWN.

    Immediately.

  8. Remember how you allowed a CR to move past debate that included provisions restricting Congress’s ability to end these chaotic tariffs?

  9. You enabled the tariffs. You are also responsible for the trade war via your vote for the CR. You should resign now, if you had any respect for your voters or for the country.

  10. And… you funded him while stabbing congress in the back. What an accomplishment. 👍

    We’d hoped for this:

    22:21 “The real political leaders in this country are the people willing to get up and do something. They’re doing it.”

  11. Stop trying to make yourself relevant.

    To the intern posting these: Tell the old bastard that pointing out that the house is aflame is not the same as actually fighting the fire. He's my senator, and a worthless fuck. Tell him to resign, then call in sick tomorrow, you deserve a day off.

    And so Congress should act to rescind the president's tariff authority, right?

  20. We could be hearing this from someone whose credibility wasn’t so spectacularly spent. There’s always a price for betrayal, even if you were right (which I don’t concede). Please step aside for someone with integrity.

  21. Democrat’s refusal to fight back has accomplished only thing: chaos. No details, no leaders, no plan.

    People are hurting.

  22. Has the billionaire genius behind this tariffs concept explained to anyone how tariffs are supposed to work and make US all rich? Why has no one put this guy in front of a Senate Committee to discuss how this is Supposed to work!

  23. Not that I am a constitutional lawyer but I thought the President can declare tariffs during an economic crisis. At the time Trump declared tariffs, the US had the strongest economy in the world. I seem to recall Congress has the power to stop tariffs by saying there is no economic crisis.

  24. Once again, Nope. Why do you constantly lie. is that all you democrats know how to do. You certainly know nothing about running a country as you let every country take our tax dollares for waste, abuse and fraud. How many countrys give to us, none. Well maybe to you corrupt democrats in kickbacks.

    So, the Orange Clown alone (or with his bottom feeders) can’t fix shit. It appears that with Project 2025 and his bootlicking, ass kissing clowns he plans to wreck it all.

  28. It's a deliberate attack on working class. All of the DOGE Cuts are a direct attack on working and dependent class of Americans. They will not stop until the elite class remains and benefits from EVERYTHING.
