1) US tariffs are now much higher than most countries' tariffs on US exports
2) US tariffs harm many US manufacturers via higher costs (for equipment/machinery/materials), foreign retaliation, & regulatory complexity - while ALSO raising prices for American families/consumers
3) US tariffs undermine trade/geopolitical alliances with close allies in Europe, Asia, LatAm - alliances that help us counter nonmarket threats like China
4) Prior to Trump's tariffs, the US has many OTHER tools - eg, AD/CVD - to protect manufacturers from "unfair" foreign imports, and these were/are widely used
5) There are MANY market-friendly policies - tax, trade, immigration, regulatory, etc - that would boost American manufacturers without all the costs/chaos/cronyism of tariffs.
Republicans USED to understand all this. Time for them to relearn it.

Tariffs are taxes that make life more expensive for every American.
Congress should roll them back immediately. #PrinciplesFirst

Lots of wisdom here. Groups like @our_republican_ and @Principles_1st, based around timeless principles and ideas can help steer the conversation in the right direction over the next two years. Question is, who will have the guts to run and stand up to a fatally wounded MAGA?
Republicans lost big. Now they have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Read my full @MSNOWNews column to learn more: ms.now/opinion/republican-mi…

To my fellow Never Trump Republicans, this is our moment of vindication. Rather than spend our time and energy dancing on the grave of Trumpism, let us work together towards rebuilding a once great political party that stands for limited government, separation of powers, and that extends a welcoming hand to those who yearn to live the American Dream. #PrinciplesFirst

Should give us lots to talk about at the @Principles_1st summit in 2027.

Cassidy Hutchinson showed tremendous courage when she testified about January 6. Trump has spent years trying to punish her for telling the truth.
I’m thrilled to see a grand jury refuse to go along with his vindictive revenge campaign.
BREAKING WaPo:
A federal grand jury just REJECTED an attempt by the Trump Justice Department to indict former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson.

Political rhetoric, mail-in voting double standards, and the state of our elections. @_Britt_Martinez & @JoshGillespiePF break it all down on a new Principally Speaking.

There is no stupid fight that Trump 2.0 won't pick. Hutchinson spoke at our Principles First Summit a few years back and was very poised. It was also clear that all the drama had taken a personal toll too, sadly

The free market knows better than the federal government what bonds are worth.
Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent said the free market is mispricing long-term bond yields. So he wants to use the superior judgment and power of central government planners to correct the mistakes of capitalism. Good thing we didn't elect a Democratic Socialist president.
