Democratic representative: "Trump's tariffs are taxes on the average person"
From CNN's Shania Shelton
Democratic Rep. Mark Pocan said President Donald Trump’s expected tariffs on Wednesday are coming out of “either spite or who he’s upset with” and will lead to consumers paying for them.
“Trump’s tariffs are taxes on the average person. There’s reasons to have tariffs. If someone’s dumping cheap steel in this country, we should put tariffs on it to support the American workers and the industry. But that’s not what’s happening. This is across the board tariffs that somehow Donald Trump does out of either spite or who he’s upset with or whatever rationale he’s using,” Pocan said Wednesday on “CNN News Central” with John Berman, Kate Bolduan and Sara Sidner.
He continued, “But at the end of the day, the people who pay it are the consumers.”
Pocan said Republicans who agree with Trump’s agenda will pay a price at the polls.
“The attacks that we see coming from the Trump administration and from Elon Musk right now are epic, and people don’t like them. And Republicans who are complicit are going to pay a price,” he said.
