GOP Braces for Trump Tariff Pain

Caitlin Owens: “Congressional Republicans think President Trump’s tariffs are going to hurt the economy, undoing some of their economic wins — but they’re not ready to cross the president until their voters feel the pain.”

“While some Republicans think Trump has a plan up his sleeve, most think there’s no good ending here. But they think the GOP base — which is fiercely loyal to Trump — needs to feel the impact of the new trade policies before Congress will have the voters’ permission to do something.”
