Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) is apparently living in an alternate reality where he thinks Republican lawmakers are going to stab President Trump in the back over his America First tariff policies. Speaking on MSNBC's "The Weeknight," the Massachusetts Democrat boldly predicted that GOP members of Congress would "run" away from Trump's new tariffs.
What planet is this guy on?
Markey's delusional prediction comes as Trump's tariff strategy is already proving successful in bringing manufacturing jobs back to America and forcing our trading partners to negotiate fairer deals. The President's tariffs aren't just campaign promises – they're delivering real results for American workers who've been sold out by decades of globalist trade policies.
Democrats Still Don't Get It
This is exactly the kind of out-of-touch thinking that cost Democrats the 2024 election in the first place. While Markey sits in his ivory tower predicting GOP defections, Republican lawmakers are seeing firsthand how Trump's tariffs are revitalizing American manufacturing and strengthening our negotiating position with China and other bad actors.
"Republican lawmakers would not vote to continue President Donald Trump's new tariffs," Markey claimed, apparently forgetting that these same Republicans just helped deliver Trump a decisive electoral victory.
The Massachusetts senator seems to forget that Trump's tariff policies were a central part of his winning 2024 campaign platform. GOP lawmakers aren't going to abandon the President who just led them to complete control of Washington – especially when his policies are actually working.
America First Means Results
Unlike the Democrats' failed globalist agenda that shipped American jobs overseas, Trump's tariffs are forcing companies to bring production back to the United States. That means more jobs for American workers, stronger supply chains, and less dependence on hostile nations like China.
Markey and his fellow Democrats can keep living in their fantasy world where they think Republicans will turn on Trump. Meanwhile, the rest of us will be celebrating as America First policies continue to make our nation stronger and more prosperous.
Do you think Senator Markey is completely out of touch with political reality, or is this just another case of wishful thinking from the radical left?
