So Mexico will put tariffs (retaliatory) on Bourbon - Some fun facts

Obviously Bourbon is a very red state of Kentucky product.

$6.5 Billion industry. The provides about 17,500 jobs, mostly in Kentucky and has been growing for ten years. Recently I visited Four Roses and they were undergoing a large renovation project. Buffalo Trace is also expanding in a very large way. The jobs currently provide $800 million in paychecks.

Nice work Trump. When do the Republican Congress start getting pissed off and fired up?
