Pelosi: Trump's Tariffs Are Based On Mexico As 'Enemy'
Nancy Pelosi is calling out the Trump White House on multiple levels for their stupid tariffs on Mexico.
At her Wednesday press conference, the House Speaker read from the official White House document that proposed tariffs on Mexico based on The International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). This act was passed in 1977 and was used to freeze the assets of the Iranian government as they had held Americans hostage at the US embassy in Tehran.
This law allows for economic punishment for "enemies," not "allies."
But Trump is definitely interested in portraying everyone to the south of the US as an enemy. And he's following in the footsteps of Tucker Carlson's White Power Hour:
On Friday, May 31st, Tucker Carlson's' White Power Hour labeled our closest neighbor and ally as a hostile foreign power to defend Trump's moronic idea of imposing tariffs against Mexico if they don't fix the migrant problem that he can't.
Carlson opened up his program by announcing Trump's tariff plans against Mexico starting on June 10th.
