A study found that out of 132 of America’s foreign trading partners, 2/3 of the 600,000 American exported products pay higher tariffs than the respective trading partner pays on exports to the U.S.

That is not fair trade.

Tomorrow is Liberation Day and President Trump will be taking action to defend American workers, farmers, and manufacturers from predatory trade practices.

For too long, our trading partners have gotten away with discriminating against American farmers and producers.

Unlike the last Administration, President Trump will not stand by and allow this to happen. Tomorrow, he is taking much needed action to correct course and defend American workers.

There comes a time when an administration has to take responsibility for their own decisions and quit blaming it on the previous one.

How about a town hall.

At this time last year, areas along our southern border were overwhelmed with illegal immigrants, with facilities swamped with nearly 1,200 migrants a day.

That number has now plummeted to 30-40 a day.

I don't believe you

Please just get off the tariff bandwagon….the tariffs will most likely put our economy into a recession. Then you will have some explaining to do to your constituents.

Prove it! Bring your proof to your town hall meeting with your constituents! Oh wait! You are afraid to do that! Never mind, just show the proof of your statements.

WEDNESDAY IS LIBERATION DAY!

For too long, American workers and manufacturers have been ripped off by our trading partners. President Trump is delivering on his promise to take bold action to protect America’s domestic manufacturers, secure our supply chains, and hold our trading partners accountable.

What an idiot! Both of them! Tariffs are taxes on the buyer! We’re the buyers, you buffoon. The manufacturer never pay the tariffs, they pass it on in their prices. It will cause inflation and shortages

This is so offensive. You are allowing a megalomaniac to shred our constitution and destroy our beautiful country. Please do your job and stand up to the president.

Congress has the opportunity to fulfill President Donald J. Trump and DOGE's mission to recover up to $135 BILLION lost to waste, fraud, and abuse.

Expiration of the statute of limitations for prosecuting pandemic unemployment fraud starts TOMORROW.

The Senate must act quickly so we can go after fraudsters and claw this money back.

Clearly, it would be illegal for Elon Musk or Donald Trump to cut someone’s Social Security benefits by $5,000 without a new law from Congress. Now consider this alternative scenario: Say a 66-year-old man qualifies for Social Security. Say he calls the helpline to apply, but he's told about a new DOGE rule, so he has to go online or in person. He can't drive. He has trouble with the website, so he waits until his niece can get a day off to take him to the local office, but DOGE closed that office, so they have to drive two hours to get to the next closest office. When they get there, there are only two people staffing a 50-person line, so he doesn't even make it to the front of the line before the office closes and he has to come back. Let's assume it takes him three months to straighten this out, and he misses a total of $5,000 in benefits checks, which, by law, he will never get back. This scenario is a backdoor way Musk and Trump could cut Social Security. Is this what Representative Jason Smith supports? Anyone in his district on social security? Do you trust him to support you or Trump/Musk? What his posts. Should tell you all you need to know.

If there is so much fraud why has no one been charged?
