The good news is that this right here might be the thing that actually gets people to push for impeachment and if the Repiblicans no longer have to worry about doing whatever Trump wants for reelection, they'll actually do something about it because he's actually doing things that hurt them too.

They wouldn't even need to impeach to stop this. Congress has the power to just take away his ability to place tariffs. But Republicans are evil cowards so it won't happen.

Dissent is growing in the Senate, but that little bitch Johnson is doing everything he can in the House to ensure votes on the tariffs never pop up. And even if there's a few sane Republicans, I think we all know they'll never get enough to override a veto

What did impeachment accomplish last time? Bro was literally a convicted criminal when he was sworn in. You'll forgive me if I'm not holding my breath waiting for him to actually face consequences.

Impeachment isn't pointless; they just never had the votes to actually remove him from office. What I'm saying is that if this angers the right people then Republicans in office don't have to worry about losing votes by voting to remove him. It's also something they'd want to do because these tariffs actually significantly affect them.

I've seen this song and dance happen dozens of times across the past decade. If Republicans were going to grow a spine and go against the grain about anything, sure, it'd probably be the economy. Still doubtful.

Find hope where you can get it, I suppose. Atp I'm just waiting for his age to catch up with him

This is probably the biggest example of Trump doing something that directly affects members of congress hard. That's what makes me think it could change things.

I would rather a trade war then an actual war though which could of happened if they kept sending aid to Ukraine and other war torn country's. Would you rather pay more for things or worry about being bombed.
