I keep reminding myself that these economic blunders involve what have been primarily republican business interests
...these republican legislators aren't mere U.S. legislators, they're also employees of the people who bankroll and enrich them.
How long are they going to stand by like scared rabbits as Trump locks their business interests down in his stupid box, and works to isolate them to the point where they are dependent on him?
Trump unraveled billions and billions of dollars in U.S. aid and assistance that would not have been politically possible if it hadn't benefited myriad state economies and business interests which provided the goods and materials to needy nations around the world.
Those trade relationships aren't so much government interests, as much as they're government helping provide economic opportunities for states here in America.
With all of the sweeping economic orders from the White House affecting so many aspects of our nation's trade, the effect is a quasi-nationalization of business and industry which is subject to this heavy-handed blundering from a federal government that now thinks it knows better than everyone else - even the people who work for the money Trump is throwing around like he's playing a game of Monopoly.
And now Rubio's been ordered to skip the G20 summit in Johannesburg?
How long is American business going to tolerate this fascist cosplay that threatens their very livelihoods before they get on the phone and the airwaves and tell Trump to keep his tiny hands off of their money?
