The Senate on Tuesday voted 52-48 to nuke President Trump’s 50% tariffs on Brazil.
House Speaker Mike Johnson will not hold a vote on the measure, so the Senate’s vote was a waste of time.
President Trump would never sign the measure into law anyway.
Five RINO Republicans voted with the Democrats to repeal the tariffs on incoming materials:
- Rand Paul (KY)
- Thom Tillis (NC)
- Susan Collins (ME)
- Lisa Murkowski (AK)
- Mitch McConnell (KY)
Earlier this year, the Senate voted to nuke President Trump’s Canadian tariffs.
RINOs Murkowski, Collins, McConnell, and Rand Paul voted to repeal those tariffs.
President Trump is currently in the Supreme Court fighting to keep his tariffs in place after a court said Trump exceeded his authority.
Last month, the US Supreme Court agreed to fast-track President Trump’s tariff case.
In May, the Court of International Trade in New York said President Trump exceeded his authority to impose tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 (IEEPA).
The DOJ immediately appealed the federal appeals court’s ruling on Trump’s tariffs.
President Trump ripped the judges over the summer.
“ALL TARIFFS ARE STILL IN EFFECT! Today a Highly Partisan Appeals Court incorrectly said that our Tariffs should be removed, but they know the United States of America will win in the end. If these Tariffs ever went away, it would be a total disaster for the Country. It would make us financially weak, and we have to be strong,” Trump said in August.
The U.S.A. will no longer tolerate enormous Trade Deficits and unfair Tariffs and Non Tariff Trade Barriers imposed by other Countries, friend or foe, that undermine our Manufacturers, Farmers, and everyone else.”
