President Donald Trump hopes his “Liberation Day” tariffs will boost U.S. manufacturing and free consumers from reliance on foreign markets. But he might just be liberating Democrats from indecision about how to make their case to the American people.
“The complete incompetence and carelessness around classified information put us on offense last week for the first time,” Sen. Mark Warner told NOTUS on Tuesday. “Combined with the effect of these tariffs, with real jobs being lost, I think this is the beginning of the unraveling.”
Trump plans on Wednesday to slap tariffs on imports from even more of America’s trading partners even though U.S. companies and farmers are already reeling from his trade wars. Democrats believe the president is offering them an easy political opening.
