Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is opposing President Donald Trump’s reciprocal tariffs after spending his career in Washington, DC, trashing the nation’s decades-long free trade policy for allowing multinational corporations to easily outsource American jobs to low-wage countries like China and Vietnam.

“As someone who helped lead the effort against disastrous unfettered free trade deals with China, Mexico, and other low-wage countries, I understand that we need trade policies that benefit American workers, not just the CEOs of large corporations,” Sanders said in a statement before using economic libertarian talking points to attack Trump’s recipricol tariffs:

It's not just Sanders. They've flipped on this issue over at DU too.

This fixation on trade deficit is idiotic.

In all fairness, only a few replied. I suspect most disagree with the poster but don't want to side with Trump.

Come on Bernie, we’re doing business with commie countries which you love. They’re charging us tariffs, so what’s the big deal if we charge them tariffs as well?

What the left is really upset with is NOT the fact that Trump imposed tariffs, but its that they didnt think of doing it THEMSELVES first..trust me, if Harris had won and done the SAME DAMN THING the same media clowns on TV screaming their lil asses off would be telling everyone how wonderful this is and how this will bring American workers back
