Summary
Sen. Mitch McConnell warns that Trump’s tariffs could cost the average Kentuckian up to $1,200 annually, raising consumer prices and harming industries reliant on global trade.
He argues that trade wars hurt working people most, citing past retaliatory tariffs on Kentucky products like bourbon.
While acknowledging the need to counter China’s unfair trade practices, McConnell urges cooperation with allies rather than broad protectionism.
Has Mitch been in a fucking coma? Did the fall provide him a moment of lucidness? The absolute GALL to try to separate himself from the exact scenario he enabled, after it happened!
Glad you could wake up and smell the economic collapse McConnell. Democrats, economists, most people two brain cells to rub together predicted it, but too late now. Kentucky believed in you - you’ve failed your voters, your local businesses and the country. That’s YOUR legacy, you enabling piece of trash.
He didn’t enable it, he orchestrated it. His actions were instrumental in getting us here.
Don’t minimize his involvement.
Definitely. I’m not great on the specifics, but I remember as far back as him blocking Supreme Court nominees under Obama because it was an election year, and then allowing Trump to do the same thing.
