Remember all of the Republicans who celebrated when President Trump signed the USMCA trade agreement with Canada and Mexico? In case you don’t, here is Trump telling everybody how great that trade deal was. Trump’s new tariffs on Canada and Mexico strictly go against the tariff-free principles enshrined in the USMCA. But again, Republicans will celebrate like it’s some great move. They will celebrate anything and everything that Trump does no matter what, even if it hurts them and their families.
