Mitt Romney warns of harmful consequences for American consumers if Trump imposes tariffs on Mexico
The Salt Lake Tribune ^ | June 1, 2019 | Thomas Burr

Sen. Mitt Romney warned Friday that President Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs against Mexico were the wrong approach and could harm Americans more than they help curtail illegal immigration.

“A tariff targeting Mexico that negatively impacts our own interests will only end in a waiting game of increasingly harmful consequence to the American people,” Romney said.

This is why the Constitution proscribes that only natural born citizens may qualify for the Presidency. Mexicans with un-American loyalties like mittens don’t qualify.

Thank you.

M stands for "Milt", you know. Sarah Palin gave him that sobriquet.

Sen. Mitt Romney, a failed candidate for POTUS, is claiming that President Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs against Mexico is the wrong approach.

Anyone can claim anything. Why do you say it is the wrong approach, Mitt? What alternative do you have to offer?

Please refrain from commenting unless you have substance to add to the dialogue, Mr. Romney.

Do you plan to apologize if you are proven wrong, Mr. Romney? You could promise to resign in disgrace. Are there consequences for people who are often wrong and counter productive?

Having to pay 1.25 instead of 1.00 for an avocado is not really a deathly threat to humanity.

No, but maybe as the price goes up from there enough pissed-off consumers will start lobbying their congress-critters to get off their dead butts and actually solve the illegal immigration problem. Of course the enemedia are already spinning it the Romney way. Maybe if Mexico isn't as desirable as a cheap labor haven for American businesses they'll stay home and hire American workers.

Romney used to post to FR under an alias.
But he is so hated now, so despised,
that one doubts that he would even read these
columns which so accurately describe him.

Only being concerned about short term solutions is how we got into this mess... with Mexico AND with China. Mitt’s a jerk.

Loser extraordinaire. He has spent his lifetime
perfecting this particular act.

Unable to set foot in a Staples store
thanks to this guy. Thank goodness we have
Office Max near by as well. At the time of his loss,
a shame we looked at it as more of a betrayal and disappointment
rather than seek a silver lining.

IF he had
won, we might not have ever been given an opportunity
to find our current POTUS, TRUMP.
The Lord does move at His own pace .

Had you a spine there Mitty you may have been president.
But since you are a snivveling little man you got beaten by an American hating marxist fraud.
Eat pooh and die there a-hole.

"Please list the Mexican products the USA can’t live without...

Avocada? Tekillya? Joking aside, there are many products/parts that American manufactures buy from Mexico, mostly from American manufacturers who went to Mexico for cheaper labor. So we pay a little more for a short time and Mexico feels the pain of tariffs. I'll pay some extra to help put the stop on Mexico assisting massive caravan invasions from Central America. No, I'm not rich.

As for China, they have become a rich totalitarian regime because of their unfair trade practices. When's the last time you bought some clothing not Made in China or their client states? They decimated our textile industry due to their slave labor and cheap prices. They are now a world power because of that, not to mention their hacking and copying our technology.
