Wait for the whiplash. This sort of extreme shit, and disregard for those who've brought Trump to the dance (his trade policies are fucking working class voters) will backfire on him. And as someone agnostic about Trump but always looking for the economic advantage of whoever's in office, proudly part of the "Socially Liberal/Fiscally Moderate" majority, his steel tariffs validate every one of the three times I did not vote for this man.
There are no steel plants left. You can't bring jobs back to an industry that requires so much capital investment and time to rebuild that the first new plant would go online sometime around 2030 (if you permitted it today and started building tomorrow!).
His performative orders on social issues can largely be ignored and reversed. But not these trade wars. These are long term disaster-causing policies. Economically ruinous to the very people he claimed to be trying to help. By driving the cost of steel up 25%, he destroys countless projects where incalculable multiples of the steel workers he thinks he can reshore would have found work. He is destroying economic development. It's beyond idiotic.
And that's why I think you'll see the Chamber of Commerce Wing of the GOP unite with moderate Democrats and Progressives in the midterms and shut down this shit.

Is gutting NIH and the CDC a social issue? Some of the institutions that rely on NIH funding are the largest employers in their states.
