<\/p>\nRUSH: I\u2019m watching CNN here. I can\u2019t help it, folks. It\u2019s either that or soap operas, and I haven\u2019t descended to that degree of boredom yet here. But CNN\u2019s reporting… This is their headline: “GOP Revolts Against Trump Over Tariffs and the Saudi Arms Deal.”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Now, it\u2019s true that there\u2019s a growing number of senators, Republican senators, who are opposed to Trump putting tariffs on Mexican imports\/Mexican exports until they start getting serious about stopping these migrants who are coming through Mexico to claim asylum in the United States.<\/p>\n
The law is, if you\u2019re coming from El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, you apply for asylum in the first safe country you reach — which in this case, is Mexico. But Mexico\u2019s telling them to pound sand and they\u2019re pounding sand on their way up to where they are declaring asylum in the United States. Trump says they\u2019re ready to make a deal. Mexicans are making a deal. They\u2019re at the White House. They\u2019re talking to Lighthizer and Mike Pence and Mike Pompeo, and these Republicans in the Senate…<\/p>\n
I mean, there\u2019s a significant number of them talking it down. “Big mistake! We shouldn\u2019t do it.” They\u2019re undercutting, they\u2019re undermining the negotiations that are going on. We\u2019ll have to see how it plays out. Meanwhile, CNN is reveling in these GOP revolts. The apparent reticence over any kind of an arms deal in Saudi Arabia is because of that new young prince, Mohammed bin Salman, who they claimed murdered the Washington Post columnist. Ferdinand Khashoggi, whatever his first name was. Jamal Khashoggi.<\/p>\n

So it\u2019s just more of the same, and it\u2019s a shame. I don\u2019t know how serious Trump was on the tariffs. He probably meant it and means it regarding Mexico. The thing is, the Senate can\u2019t stop him. The president can impose tariffs. He doesn\u2019t have to go through the Senate for a vote, so there is no overriding veto or any of that. The president can slap a tariff on anybody he wants, and all they can do from the peanut gallery is yell and scream about it — and they\u2019re trying to convince him not to do it. But they can\u2019t stop him, so it\u2019s not really serious undermining of the position. But it\u2019s not helping.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
