“President Trump would veto a bill introduced by Senators Maria Cantwell (D-Wash) and Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) that would limit the president’s authority to unilaterally impose tariffs, according to a White House statement seen by Axios,” reports the bullet point article factory.
Ughhhhhhhhhh… How about whether he would veto a bill requiring C-SPAN cameras and boom mic operators to follow presidents on the golf course or prohibiting them from having sexual contact with women under 30 years of age? Axios might as well cover their bases and let us know where he stands on those non-existent proposals just in case they come up in legislation anytime soon.
Would anyone have expected that the Cantwell-Grassley bill will even hit the floor unless they’re reasonably certain they have 67 votes in the chamber? (That’s even before the absolute grind that it faces in the House if it can even get past the Senate) What kind of jackass would ever think that Trump would willingly cede his power to fuck things up unilaterally? There can be zero doubt whatsoever that two-thirds in both chambers was priced into this bill from day one.
“What we’re hearing: Trump was rankled by the bill’s introduction, according to a person familiar with his thinking,” writes Axios at the close of the article. Fuuuuuu-uuuuuuuuu-uuuuuuuck, lol.
