Political Wire by Taegan Goddard
President Trump’s “bailout for the ag industry is driving his many Republican trade critics to exasperation,” Politico reports.
”Pro-free trade Republicans were already furious with Trump’s escalation of tariffs against U.S. allies and China — a multi-front trade war they say is hurting U.S. farmers and manufacturers. But the administration’s response Tuesday — sending $12 billion to farmers hurt by retaliatory tariffs to ease the pain — is the precise anathema of conservative, free-trade orthodoxy.”
Said Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI): “This is becoming more and more like a Soviet-type of economy here: Commissars deciding who’s going to be granted waivers, commissars in the administration figuring out how they’re going to sprinkle around benefits. I’m very exasperated. This is serious.”

This blog will focus on political images I have found all around the Internet, though I will intersperse some commentary and quotes that I find interesting.
