Why We Must Hang with Trump on Tariffs

[Geee]

RUSH: It’s amazing. The Drive-By Media now understands the concept of tax cuts and tax increases, but it took tariffs and a tariff war with the ChiComs for the Drive-Bys to understand it. I’m being ironic and a little sarcastic. They know it and understand it. It’s just that since the Republicans own mantra of tax cuts, since that is a Republican-owned belief… Democrats don’t believe in cutting taxes; Republicans do, and the Democrats know it. So whenever the concept of tax cuts comes up, the Democrats and the media have to destroy it, as they did the latest round of Trump tax cuts.

 

Two years ago, they started… Well, a year and a half ago, they did story after story lying after lying after lying about how the tax cuts didn’t mean anything. They weren’t gonna get you any additional money. They were gonna cost you money (because they lie about it). But since tariffs are not thought of as tax cuts or tax increases period (at least in the vernacular), then the Drive-Bys are free to tell the truth about them. It’s just a teachable moment. It’s a instructive moment to see how the Drive-Bys deal with things.

Because the bottom line is, anything and everything that can harm Republicans, they will do it. This whole Mueller thing? Do you realize there’s nothing — and I’m blue in the face over this, but this illustrates the point. This was never an investigation. This has been a political operation from before it began. This entire thing has been a feint. It has been an effort to make people think that it was a deep investigation involving the greatest of intelligence agencies trying to track down data to prove that Donald Trump colluded with Russia.

In fact, it’s never been anything but a purely political operation, and the reason… A lot of people are starting to come to this belief now. I’m glad to see it. You know, people who for two years have been analyzing this as a legal matter, as an investigative/counterintelligence matter — and have been analyzing it as such and having breaking it down and trying to explain it to people as such. They have finally, after enough time has passed, figured out that there was nothing about this other than the criminal justice system has now been weaponized by the American left.
