Rep. Jared Golden (D-Maine) is perhaps the only Democrat on Capitol Hill willing to defend President Trump's new tariffs to the hilt.
[...]
[House Minority Leader Hakeem] Jeffries said Monday that he hasn't "heard any opposition" among House Democrats to Rep. Greg Meeks' (D-N.Y.) measure to effectively kill Trump's new across-the-board tariffs.
But Golden told Axios in an interview on Capitol Hill: "I'd be a 'no' on that."
"My biggest worry is that they're going to do this and lose faith and political will and back away," Golden said.
The Maine Democrat also dismissed the stock market turmoil that has accompanied Trump's tariffs: "The vast majority of Americans have no stocks."

But they ALL buy shit, Jared! And businesses live or die by what happens at the stock market. Are you twelve years old?
Golden, who represents one of the most Republican-leaning districts of any Democrat in Congress, is trying to forge a populist brand that he dubs "progressive conservatism."
Well, there you go. Doublespeak. Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.
