Mitch McConnell said on Sunday that President Donald Trump’s tariffs on foreign allies were a bad idea, but said he supports most of what this administration wants to accomplish.
“It will drive the cost of everything up. In other words, it’ll be paid for by American consumers,” McConnell said of Trump’s tariffs. “I mean, why would you want to get in a fight with your allies over this?”
His comments came during a a nationally televised interview on CBS’ “60 Minutes,” and a day after Trump announced a raft of tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China.

What a fraud. He pretends to not understand the reasons.
” Allies” that let America be overu. With Illegals.
You know, this was said the first time around, but the dreaded huge price increases didn’t happen, the economy didn’t tank. In fact quite the opposite.
And if McConnell has this opinion, why doesn’t he say Canada and Mexico should cooperate with the US to stop fentanyl and human trafficking?
That avoids the tariffs.

Go die in a fire, Mitch.
I want Ditch to renounce the CCP and vote in support of dumping same.
Define “allies” turtle
How dare 47 want what’s best for our nation. Stfu Mitch.
I saw that Graham has committed to supporting Gabbard. Isn’t that a very self destructive move for him?
I can’t believe anyone is still paying attention to McConnell.
McConnell can’t drop dead soon enough.
Mitch’s Chinese Masters must be frightened that they may be next.
Because they’re NOT our allies?
frozen old Mitch, go away
Good fences make good neighbors, Mitch. Plus, are they really allies if they willingly allow our country to be invaded and drugs to plow through our borders?
Tarrifs are action. And I know how you hate action, Mitch. Especially if that action interferes from the piles and piles of moola you and your ilk make selling America out to every foreign entity with a checkbook.
He’s literally married to the CCP
They don’t call him Cocaine Mitch for nothing
There is only one country China Mitch is concerned about.
No coincidence that the network Trump is suing for billions is giving Mitch a prime time interview.
They probably edited out the “freezes” that he has become infamous for.
It is a negotiation tactic. If you are willing to get into a fight with your friends to change their behavior, imagine how your enemies are going to see it.
