Report: GOP May Turn On President Donald Trump Over Tariffs | The Last Word | MSNBC

[richx]

Money talks louder than anything and if the tariffs continue Trump will lose the support of much of the Republican base.

[VoiceofReason-pgqf]

Our biggest rival is Russia. So instead of launching a trade war against Putin, 45 picked on this country’s closest allies: Canada, Mexico, England, France, Australia and more. I wonder why?

[tonyhwang]

Poll is just a poll. Make sure to vote him out in November. Don't make same mistake second time.

[dennisschwartzentruber]

A selfish and reckless person does not care who he takes down with him ...who's next ? Mr. Trump...YOU'RE FIRED !

[kaiserschnitzel]

I am still shocked that it's only 55% disapproval.

[ddrose]

Ok, now I understand why Trump is so dedicated to coal country.

Because, by the time he's finished the country will be starting from 1901, again.

[kathyflack]

I voted for him, and in the last 2 years, I would never vote for him. He is scary

[bullmoose]

They won't turn until they have all lost their retirement account.

[MsMary]

You have to laugh, bitterly, that the thing that finally gets the GOP moving would be money-driven

[ltong]

I totally agree, ONLY 55％？Really? I don’t understand after all that he had said and done!

[paulchristensen]

Has Trump released his taxes he did that may well explain some of these inexplicable actions maybe

[ciaobella]

americans are going to pay the price for this insanity.

[purplerain]

THAT'S RIGHT AMERICA YOU ARE FINALLY WEAKING UP I LOVE, LOVE THOSE DISAPPROVAL NUMBER AGAINST THE ORANGE TERMITE...

[laurettelaliberte]

If you look back at old video and interviews with him. He is using his power to vent long-held animus to 'punish' people, organizations, and countries he has always hated or whom he feels slighted him in some way in the past.

[timm]

Im amazed at how far down americans will go without any action to save themselves.

[rebeccaderosa]

He knows exactly what he's doing, and the Republican in the Senate is helping him, come on who's going to call him out, bunch of freaken cowards.

[juanc]

Understand(those with blinders on) this man ran all of his start ups into the ground! He got away with not paying his bills what more do you need to wake up? Another great depression? War?

[ArthurBaker]

How long can Trump stay in the white house. He needs to go before he totally ruins the United States of America

[surrayahsjewels]

He wanted to get rid of those agreements because I'm sure he didn't understand any of them....

[UTU]

I would not trust Donald Trump to be a shift supervisor at a MacDonald's restaurant on a quiet, slow Monday afternoon.
He would make everyone's jobs harder, with his ego, incompetence, and childish vendettas.
