President Donald Trump tore into four GOP senators in a late-night social media rant on Wednesday, accusing them of being disloyal for siding with Democrats in opposing his attempt to slap tariffs on imports from Canada.
The president took to Truth Social to single out Sens. Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul, of Kentucky, Susan Collins of Maine, and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, accusing them of “playing with the lives of the American people, and right into the hands of the Radical Left Democrats and Drug Cartels.”
Trump was responding after Senate Democrats advanced a resolution introduced by Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia that would block the import levies on America’s neighbor and key trading ally. It would terminate the national emergency the president declared in February, citing illegal immigration and ongoing shipments to the U.S. of ingredients used to produce fentanyl, the deadly opioid fueling the U.S. drug crisis.
