“As great as this president is, he’s occasionally wrong.” So spoke Sen. Orrin Hatch, the Utah Republican, by way of explaining his opposition to President Donald Trump’s tariffs.
He’s not the only one to preface his disagreements with Trump with a display of obsequiousness. A group called Farmers for Free Trade is running a national advertising campaign against the tariffs. In its ad, a Montana farmer says, “We’re very optimistic about the economy under President Trump; however, we’re very concerned about the trade policies from Washington.”
While she’s talking about her optimism, the ad shows footage of Trump speaking in front of an American flag.
