“President Donald Trump is taking the Republican Congress on an economic wild ride,” Semafor reports.
“He’s threatening serious tariffs that could hit key US allies this weekend, just days after confounding Congress with his plans to freeze federal spending. Some GOP lawmakers are hoping they can still head off the tariffs, and a few complained about the conflicting guidance on government money, but most — especially those from red areas — said they’re feeling little heat for the president’s moves.”
“Not only is there little evidence that party legislators mind his muscular executive power, there’s plenty of signs that Trump-state Republicans are happy to take the ride with him.”
