Trump Calls Out ‘Rebel’ Republicans Over Tariffs

It has become a tug of war of sorts between President 👤Donald Trump and 🐘Republicans in Congress over imposing 💵Tariffs.

This reached a limit for Trump on Tuesday as he blasted “rebel” 🐘Republicans for questioning his trade policies during a speech to the National Republican Congressional Committee, Fox News reported.

“And then I see some rebel Republican, some guy who wants to grandstand, say, ‘I think that Congress should take over negotiations.’ Let me tell you, you don’t negotiate like I negotiate,” Trump said.

Watch:

Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) is one guy who is against “the thought of waging a trade war with the entire world.”

Bacon is spearheading a bipartisan bill to stop Trump from imposing 💵Tariffs and give that power back to Congress.

The same is happening in the Senate as a bipartisan group — headed by Sens. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) — is introducing a resolution to annul Trump’s global 💵Tariffs.

Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.) have introduced a bill that would “require the president to notify Congress about any new 💵Tariffs within 48 hours of imposition and require Congress to approve new 💵Tariffs within 60 days or allow them to expire,” per the outlet.

The president expressed his displeasure over the bills.

“I just saw it today, a couple of your congressmen,” Trump said before doing an impression of a lawmaker.

“‘Sir, I think we should get involved in the negotiation of the 💵Tariffs.’ Oh, that’s what I need, I need some guy telling me how to negotiate,” he added.

Trump said if Congress takes over how 💵Tariffs are imposed, China would be “the happiest people in the world.”

“They wouldn’t be paying 104%,” Trump said. “I’d say they’d be paying no percent — we’d be paying them 104%.”

The president added that limiting his powers “hurts your negotiation.”

“And then the fake news wants to build it up, and it has no chance anyway,” he added.
