Major Republican donors watching the stock market tank following President Donald Trumps controversial tariff policy are terrified about the broader political implications, according to Fox & Friends co-host Steve Doocy.
Chad Pergram filed a report on Wednesday morning about the political impact of Trumps new trade policies. Democrats are adamant that the president is wrecking the economy, he said. They ask why the U.S. applied tariffs on allies, which agreed to the USMCA. Thats the trade pact implemented by the president during his first term.
Given the fact that Chinas now going to have an 84 percent tariff on U.S. goods, I see that the stock market futures, the markets going to open in 90 minutes theyre down like 600 or 700 points again, Doocy noted.
How much pressure are Republican lawmakers on Capitol Hill getting from their constituents? And a lot of them have major donors who are invested in the stock markets, and theyre terrified!

They OWN this now. This BELONGS TO THEM. They made it, they developed it, they encouraged it, and its ALL THEIRS. We must NOT let America forget.

Believed the myth that "Republicans are always better for the economy."
Believed a white man had to be a better choice than a Black and Asian woman.

To use a metaphor that is becoming somewhat cliched: the leopard isn't supposed to eat my face!

I hope they get upset enough to threaten to yank campaign contributions from GOP Senators and reps. That might actually stir them to do something.

It will be volatile for awhile.
I have posted before that they were all due for a "correction" (10% drop), although I didn't expect the markets to hit "bear" territory (20% or more drop) so soon!
