Trump’s honeymoon period is over. Republican Senator Rand Paul rails against Trump and his abuse of power, and calls for Congress to rein in the President:
“Tariffs don’t punish foreign governments, they punish American families […] raise the price of everything…”
“We cannot afford to stand idly by […] the oath I took upon taking this office is to the constitution of the US and not one person.”
Later, this first attempt failed with a 49-49 vote, but the game is on.
