The Chamber of Commerce is threatening to take Trump to court over Mexican tariffs. Crazy times.

The hysteria over the proposed Mexican tariffs would be funny if it wasn’t so predictable. Mexico will quickly respond with tighter restrictions on illegal immigration and this will all go away with no impact.

But I keep wondering why the left is so opposed to what Trump is doing? The tariffs are taxes aren’t they? The left loves raising taxes since it brings more money into the government. What’s their problem with this policy? Also, the tariffs will slow global growth which will reduce green house gasses and save the planet. Why aren’t the greens applauding Trump for saving the planet? Shouldn’t stock investors ask their company CEOs why they they moved production into countries whose governments were thin patinas on organized criminal cartels like China and Mexico? Maybe that wasn’t such a good long term strategy from a risk/reward standpoint. Trump is making America great again not the NYSE. He wasn’t elected President of the Chamber of Commerce but POTUS.

This is normal for the Chamber of Commerce. They want a steady (or, better yet, increasing) stream of cheap labor.
