SHARE

Congressional Cowards is a weekly sequence highlighting the worst Donald Trump defenders on Capitol Hill, who refuse to criticize him—regardless of how disgraceful or lawless his actions.


Republicans celebrated on Wednesday after President Donald Trump’s half-baked “pause” on his “Liberation Day” tariffs led the inventory market to rise, calling Trump a “genius” and his commerce struggle debacle the “art of the deal.”

However those self same Republicans had egg on their faces not even a day later, when the market as soon as once more plunged after buyers realized that Trump’s 90-day “pause” wasn’t a pause in any respect, however fairly a ten% tariff on practically each nation, in addition to an insane 145% tariff on China. 

“I think America needs to recognize we’re in a remarkable moment. We have an actual genius of an entrepreneur and one that loves our country,” GOP Rep. Burgess Owens of Utah wrote on X on Wednesday.

Owens didn’t amend his remark when the market tumbled not even 24 hours later, reflecting Trump’s chaotic tariff coverage that quantities to a $4,000 tax hike on each U.S. family.

To not be upstaged by Owens, GOP Rep. Ronny Jackson of Texas—who as soon as ridiculously claimed that Trump was the image of well being—posted on X that Trump is the “UNDISPUTED MASTER of the artwork of the deal!”

“The days of America being taken advantage of by China and other nations are OVER! The Trump era is all about POWER and WINNING!” he wrote.

Based on the GOP, it’s thought-about “winning” when the inventory market collapses simply in the future later.

In the meantime, GOP Rep. Paul Gosar of Arizona agreed “100%” with a batshit-crazy X publish from creepy White Home adviser Stephen Miller.

“You have been watching the greatest economic master strategy from an American President in history,” Miller wrote.

And GOP Rep. Mike Lawler of New York posted a graphic on Wednesday declaring that the “inventory market posts third greatest acquire in post-WWII historical past.” 

Too unhealthy that acquire was practically erased in the future later. To not point out, the momentary acquire did not even make up what was misplaced after Trump’s “Liberation Day” anyway.

Equally, GOP Rep. Nicole Malliotakis of New York needed in on the motion of praising Expensive Chief, scrounging up one among Trump’s X posts from 2014. 

“Offers are my artwork kind. Different folks paint superbly or write poetry. I like making offers, ideally huge offers. That is how I get my kicks,” he wrote.

Additionally paying homage to Trump’s “The Art of the Deal,” GOP Rep. Anna Paulina Luna of Florida posted a meme calling the short-lived inventory market increase the “art of the deal.” 

In the meantime, different GOP lawmakers have tried to criticize the few Republicans who’ve stood in opposition to Trump’s tariffs.

“See? Trust the President. He understands trade and economics and NEGOTIATIONS better than his critics give him credit for. The critiques from certain Senate Republicans were premature, to say the least,” Rep. Dan Crenshaw of Texas wrote on X.

The Republicans who’ve truly been proper are these like Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, who’ve mentioned that tariffs are unhealthy as a result of they’re a tax on customers and can lead us to financial calamity.

“Tariffs raise the prices of goods and services. Even those who obstinately deny that basic fact will soon realize that the tariffs are a tax on the American people, whether while paying for groceries or looking at their investment portfolio,” Paul wrote in Nationwide Evaluation op-ed.

You recognize issues are unhealthy when Democrats agree with Rand Paul.
