Trump defends tariffs in pre-midterms appearance in battleground Georgia
"Donald Trump forcefully defended his tariffs on Thursday, claiming tariffs are my favorite word in the dictionary and promoting their use to empower American manufacturing at an event in north-west Georgia. Without tariffs, this country would be in so much trouble right now, Trump said during his remarks at Coosa Steel Corporation, a steel-processing and distribution firm in Rome, Georgia."
"I'm waiting for a decision from the supreme court, he said, complaining about having to justify this, because people come from other countries and have ripped us off for 50 years. Trump's visit to Georgia, a key battleground state in this year's midterm elections, was ostensibly to promote his economy amid lagging approval numbers. But Trump spent a large portion of his remarks focused on his repeated, unverified claims of voter fraud."
"Trump unloaded on Democratic unwillingness to back the Save America Act, which would curtail voting by mail, require voters to present photo ID at the ballot box and require proof of citizenship when registering. The legislation passed in the House last week, but is unlikely to move in the Senate without lawmakers first ending the filibuster. The Democrats don't want to give us voter ID, because they want to cheat They say they don't want voter ID because it's racist, Trump said."
Trump forcefully defended tariffs as essential to empower American manufacturing and called tariffs his favorite word. He said without tariffs the country would be in trouble and lamented waiting for the Supreme Court to rule on his trade policy, blaming China-oriented people and Canadian partisans. He visited Coosa Steel in Rome, Georgia to promote the economy amid lagging approval numbers. He attacked Democrats for opposing the Save America Act, which would limit mail-in voting, require photo ID at the ballot box, and require proof of citizenship for registration. He repeated unverified claims that mail voting enables fraud.
