'I'd like to kill 'em': GOP takes on Trump tariffs

[Snellius]

Republican lawmakers are losing their patience with the president’s trade war, saying it’s hurting their states and the party’s chances in the midterms.

Republican senators are at their breaking point with Donald Trump’s protectionist trade blitz.

Not a party meeting goes by these days at which multiple Republicans don’t vent that the president isn’t listening to them — and plot how to fight back.

“I’d like to kill ’em,” groused Finance Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), a close Trump ally, referring to the administration’s expanding list of tariffs.

... Republican senators say they can’t get the president to comprehend that his tariffs offensive could upend all of that progress in short order. Commodity prices in the heartland are sagging, U.S. allies are retaliating with tariffs of their own — and GOP leaders are fretting that the booming economy is about to go into a pre-midterms nosedive.

"Etymology

From earlier hem, from Middle English hem, from Old English heom (“them”, dative) of hie,[1] originally a dative plural form but in Middle English coming to serve as an accusative plural as well. Cognate with Dutch hun (“them”), German ihnen (“them”).

Now often treated as a form of them, which however derives from Old Norse rather than Old English.

4. This is a good thing, finally...

It'll point clearly out how bad rump is as a leader. It'll start shifting rump voters away from rump bit by bit, and every single point counts. Every factory that closes, every item that jumps up in price several fold and becomes unavailable to consumers at any price, will contribute to rump's downfall (as it should, he's dismally incompetent).

We need to send a clear mandate that NO, the majority of the country doesn't want the likes of rump and his cronies in office.

I do hate that people have to lose their jobs, and everything going up, cost wise, but eventually, this will cascade into a win for the democrats, and sure, we'll have our work cut out for us, but we at least hire competent people who actually know what they are doing (as opposed to 'I, alone, know it all').

7. Most of these new Tariff's will hit the hardest

starting in late September or early October. And with the so called Cash Cropper Farmer Bail out in trouble. The Dems have a built in Talking Point for November.

Points to watch will be key areas of Company supply chains for break downs. Usually two to three months of materials in the Supply chain at any given time. Watch for noise from the Bulk Carrier Ship Companies,especially Maresk and COSTCO(China overseas Transportation Company) . When their Stock price heads South,that will be the indicator.
