Summary

Sen. Mitch McConnell warns that Trump’s tariffs could cost the average Kentuckian up to $1,200 annually, raising consumer prices and harming industries reliant on global trade.

He argues that trade wars hurt working people most, citing past retaliatory tariffs on Kentucky products like bourbon.

While acknowledging the need to counter China’s unfair trade practices, McConnell urges cooperation with allies rather than broad protectionism.

    Has Mitch been in a fucking coma? Did the fall provide him a moment of lucidness? The absolute GALL to try to separate himself from the exact scenario he enabled, after it happened!

    Glad you could wake up and smell the economic collapse McConnell. Democrats, economists, most people two brain cells to rub together predicted it, but too late now. Kentucky believed in you - you’ve failed your voters, your local businesses and the country. That’s YOUR legacy, you enabling piece of trash.
