Fun fact about Trump tariffs you won’t see in 99% of the reporting:
Trump tariffs are illegal.
Congress controls tariffs just like tax rates.
President can change a tariff only for national security emergency, meaning war.

America has not always lived up to its ideals as a nation, particularly with foreign policy. We must be honest about that.
This moment from both Trump and Vance was reprehensible and yet another move to support global autocracy.
We must continue to push for a higher standard from our leaders.
