Charles Koch just came out against the tariffs so now the GOP have permission to do something

[octoberlib]

Republican donor Charles Koch slammed President Trump's announced tariffs on steel and aluminum and encouraged corporate leaders to reject the plan in an op-ed on Wednesday.

"One might assume that, as the head of Koch Industries — a large company involved in many industries, including steel — I would applaud such import tariffs because they would be to our immediate and financial benefit. But corporate leaders must reject this type of short-term thinking, and we have," Koch wrote in The Washington Post.


Koch went on to describe the "harmful effect" he said the tariffs would have, saying consumers will be hurt the most by the restrictions.
Koch is a free market libertarian who did not contribute to Trump's campaign despite his history as a major Republican donor. He is the latest businessman to speak out against Trump's plan to slap a 25 percent tariff on imported steel and a 10 percent tariff on imported aluminum.

1. It's Hard Keeping Track Of Who Likes Drumpf, And Who Hates Him

Surprising that Koch did not contribute to Drumpf's campaign. I find that extremely difficult to believe.

6. Walker is the primary Koch spokesman

Anything Walker says, the Kochs back 99%.

You knew the Kochs were against it when Walker publicly came out against it the other day.

Ryan is the secondary Kochs spokesman - 85% of what he says is backed by the Kochs.

4. I love it

Can you imagine the Koch’s pure elevation on election night? All of their millions had finally paid off. With Trump in the White House they had completed their purchase of the US government.
And now—- their puppet is a corrupt, out of control moron who is willing to risk crashing the entire economy based on his outdated economic world view.
Trump is their Frankenstein.
