Rand Paul indicates he’ll fight Trump’s tariffs: “I don't like tariffs, but then again I don't like the president promoting tariffs. I think tariffs are a tax on the consumer." The Republicans have already started to eat each other.

The one saving grace is that senators and representatives love their own power and won't give it up as easily as Trump thinks.

Where was he during the campaign when Trump promised this over and over??

Tariffs will put this economy into an economic expansion and boom we haven’t seen since Reagan. Get out of your echo chamber and do research. TARIFFS WORK.

@barbcast60 This idiot voted for Trump knowing this.

This is good that Rand is a thorn at Trump's side. Trump hasn't been inaugurated yet and opposition is building.

Careful, MAGA doesn’t like free thinkers pulling back those curtains …

Shut the fuck up Perm Paul, you 100% knew this was happening when you bent over for your Mandarin Mussolini.

Does anyone even care what Paul says or does? In the end, as he has ALWAYS done, he will walk step in step in line with Trump's agenda. With many GOP Senators, they are willing to give up their power of confirmation and rubber stamp w/o FBI vetting. Sad group.

There is no "thinking" tariffs are a tax on consumers, THEY ARE TAXES ON CONSUMERS... I seriously cannot believe that it's Rand fucking Paul if all people who is opposing Trump tanking our economy. Fucking A, how far we have fallen that HE has be a voice of reason.

🚨JUST NOW: Sen. Rand Paul says the Constitution doesn't have meaning since President Trump is using Tariffs. Q: "I know you're not a fan of tariffs. Do you want to see them struck down by the Supreme Court?" PAUL: "Tariffs are a tax, and anybody who tries to say tariffs are not a tax is just not serious. A president cannot levy taxes without the approval of Congress. I think the Supreme Court's going to strike this down."

I was in Vancouver yesterday, meeting with local small business owners to talk about how Trump’s tariffs are costing them big time. These tariffs are a TAX on consumers and small businesses alike. Republicans can vote with Democrats to END these tariffs any day of the week.

You may not like the accent, but this fellow is exactly right. The tariffs are already working - Take a listen. What do you think? Are the tariffs working?

A butcher in Pennsylvania spoke to Fox about Trump’s tariffs: “The consumer is going to pay for it.” (Most Americans aren’t buying Trump’s lie that other countries are the ones paying the tariffs.)

The Supreme Court’s ruling against President Trump’s tariffs was unfortunate. I don’t think it’s going to have consequences other than chaos and litigation.

🚨 SENATOR RAND PAUL, as the Senate considers voting on a measure to restrict Trump's tariffs. Paul invokes "no taxation without representation" circa American Revolution, saying no president should be allowed to raise taxes [tariffs included] without Congressional approval. Rand Paul: "There was this idea you don't do taxation without representation [...] [These words] ring true today. It should not come as a surprise that a country founded on a tax revolt - one person is NOT allowed to raise taxes." "Despite the Constitutional restraints, [Americans] have now been ordered to pay higher taxes in the form of higher tariffs but without the consent of Congress." "Congress didn't debate these tariffs... the tariffs are simply imposed by presidential fiat, by proclamation." "These [are] the very bedrock of our constitutional principles, and yet people, particularly my side, are looking away and saying, oh whatever!" "Look, I [still] support President Trump on many things, but I am NOT for a country run by 'emergencies.'"

Rand Paul today on blocking Trump's tariffs on imports from Canada: "Despite arguments to the contrary, Americans know tariffs are a tax they are going to have to pay." The Founding Fathers “so feared the power of taxation that they gave it only to Congress.” "I stand to speak against the tariffs. I stand to speak against the idea of skipping democracy, of skipping the constitutional republic, of rejecting our founding principles." "Not because I have any animus towards the president. I do this because I love my country..." "We should vote. This is a tax, plain and simple." "Taxes should not be enacted by one person."

"Without question, tariffs are paid by the American consumer." Rand Paul explains how tariffs sold as punishment for China are actually taxes on Americans. Every “get tough” policy means higher prices for the working class.

In Kentucky, farmers don't want tariffs, shippers don't want tariffs, and the bourbon industry doesn't want tariffs. Nobody back home is asking for them. All I hear are the problems they're causing. Next Up with Mark Halperin

Secretary Lutnick on the power of tariffs: "Who paid for No Tax on Tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on Social Security? Tariffs. I think the President is deeply focused on using the power of his Administration to right a whole bunch of wrongs."

#WATCH | "...I settled a few of the wars just based on tariffs. For example, between India and Pakistan, I said, if you guys want to fight a war and you have nuclear weapons. I am going to put big tariffs on you both, like 100 per cent, 150 per cent, and 200 per cent...I said I am putting tariffs. I had that thing settled in 24 hours. If I didn't have tariffs, you could have never settled that war..." says US President Donald Trump. (Source: The White House)
