Republican senator on Trumps latest tariff threat: This is nuts

One Republican senator was quick to rip President Donald Trump over his plan announced late Thursday to seek an additional $100 billion in tariffs against Chinese goods.

“China is guilty of many things, but the President has no actual plan to win right now,” Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb., said in a statement.

“He’s threatening to light American agriculture on fire. Let’s absolutely take on Chinese bad behavior, but with a plan that punishes them instead of us. This is the dumbest possible way to do this,” he said.

Sasse’s home state of Nebraska could be particularly hard-hit by retaliatory Chinese tariffs against U.S. agricultural exports.

He so wants to be Adolf Hitler.

6. What a joke

The inherited money governor praises the current resident of the White House and is trying his best to turn Nebraska into the next Kansas. This jackwad is always getting some cheap and easy pub with a few tweets or a mild public criticism of the dotard. Yet he will vote for anything and everything proposed by his corrupt party. I know I'm old when I remember when Nebraska actually had some Democratic senators (more sane Republican in practice).

10. They didn't listen to the Farmers

during the American Ag. Movement.
Why should anyone now? As long as there is
food on the grocery shelves, americu is satisfied
the farmers will keep them fed. Regardless of
trade wars..agriculture bankruptcy...
