The Koch brothers’ — the billionaire plutocrats and GOP mega-donors — network of organizations are railing against President Trump’s tariffs on China to protect American workers and U.S. industry. This month, Trump hiked tariffs to 25 percent on about $200 billion worth of Chinese manufactured goods. Trump has also ordered trade officials to begin reviewing the process of increasing tariffs to 25 percent on an additional $300 billion worth of Chinese goods.
In the wake of the latest round of tariffs, the Koch brothers’ organizations like the Americans for Prosperity (AFP) and the Libre Initiative demand that the Trump administration carry out an agenda focused on free trade, as the Bush and Obama administrations did.

” The globalists come in all types, but all all greedy. “
They are indeed greedy but more all all about ABSOLUTE POWER over everything and EVERYONE.
We are the Cuck Brothers.
The were always just an Enemedia foil: phony conservatives to “rail” against - so that real conservatives got no press.
I never trusted them.
I don’t know: China is getting a lot of US trade for free. /s
uhmmmm....
Suck kciD....
That only works if other countries do too. Until then I see your tariff and raise you
There’s the rub.
Free Trade is a two-way street. Both sides have to accept trade from the other without restrictions.
You don’t get other countries to give up their tariffs by permitting them to keep imposing them without any punishment. Why would they give up their tariffs if you just sit there quietly buying their products while they buy none of yours.
I agree with the Kochs that Free Trade is the ideal. But the world today is not anywhere close to that ideal. Why should we be the only country with our markets open to free trade.
Trump wants no tariffs......he’s trying to get really fair and equal trade......right now, China is dumping stuff here and raking in the money......
The True Conservatives show their colors.
Agree that power is the goal.
Scumbags
Exactly. The Koch Brothers are the Soros of the right. They don’t care how much they hurt America as long as they get their cut.
Once Trump is gone, the GOP will go right back to selling the US down the river in order to get their money.
Internation financial balance is essential.
Tariffs are essential.
Our costs are higher due to the PPACA.
If a product can be sold anywhere in the USA or EU, then that product should be saleable in any US trade partner country under any new trade agreement.

There is no home for globalists any longer in the Republican Party. I wish these anti American hacks would join the Dems.
The GOPe is not learning a thing.
We have that now. States cannot tariff each other. Didn't you already know that?
Imprison the Koch Bothers for TREASON against the U.S. people.
The U.S. Military firing squad should carry out the penalty.
After WW1 & WW2, the rich financiers were never dealt with. We have bombs and drones that can kill the evil big bankers.
