Vice President JD Vance traveled to Capitol Hill late Wednesday to cast a tie-breaking vote in the Senate that killed a bipartisan effort to rebuke President Donald Trump’s trade policy.
Earlier in the evening, the Senate rejected the resolution that would have effectively blocked Trump’s global tariffs by revoking the emergency order the president is using to enact them. Two senators who were set to vote for the resolution, Republican Mitch McConnell and Democrat Sheldon Whitehouse, were absent, allowing the resolution to fail 49-49.
You can’t tell that this is the same logic they used to justify tariffs? “We (the wealthy and priviliged) can handle short term pain, it’s worth it”
It’s just… not good reasoning. At all. It’s intentionally destructive for ultimately no purpose.
You want to stop Trump because he is hurting people… and you want to do that, by letting him hurt people.
