Senate approves Democratic resolution to block Trump's tariffs on Brazil

Dude this is huge, can't believe 5 Republicans went against Trump now it's like the Senate is finally speaking up about this trade war and its real-life effects on American businesses and everyday people. I mean, come on, who thought tariffs were a good idea? It's just going to hurt our economy and make life harder for us consumers.

And let's be real, Trump was acting out of his own self-interest here, trying to send a message to Bolsonaro over some guy's conviction... it's like, grow up, man! McConnell is on the right track with this opposition, at least he's willing to stand up for what's good for America.

This whole thing is just another example of how out of touch Trump is with the people. The fact that a simple majority won here and not even a supermajority is proof that we need to take back control from the executive branch and get some sanity in Washington

Just saw this news about Senate backing reso to block Trump's tariffs on Brazil . Im not surprised that some Republicans joined Democrats tho, especially if they think it'll help with the economy. I mean, 50% tariffs is pretty steep . It feels like a huge escalation and might hurt American industries that rely on Brazilian imports .

I wonder what Trump's thinking on this one . Is he just looking for an excuse to be tough on trade or does he really think it'll make Brazil back down on its stance? Either way, I hope the reso makes it through and we avoid a major economic mess .

It's also interesting that some Republicans like Mitch McConnell are speaking out against tariffs. I guess even if they're not directly involved in the trade talks, their voices can still carry weight . Maybe this is a sign that there's more bipartisan support for change than people think .
