Republicans in both chambers are backing trade language in the Senate's China competition bill that would roll back some of the tariffs — instead of a more protectionist proposal from House Democrats.

Well, isn't this interesting?

If the article is to be believed, it seems Trump and the Dems are on the same side of the issue in opposition to the GOP!

I'm sure the Republicans in Congress are getting and earful from their corporate donors to loosen the tariffs...

Of course they we still talk tough concerning China on Fox News.. They need to keep throwing red meat to their base...

I've always stated that plenty of republicans are on the side on rampant globalism. Trump was an attempt to help fix that. Neither party entirely has our best interests at heart.

Trump talked a good game, and threw red meat to his base somerimes..

But he had dozens of illegals working at his properties, he did millions in business with the Chinese, and has businesses all over the world..

He's as much as a globalist as most other millionaire businessmen

Ask the Saudis..
