Summary

Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) warned of uncertainty over Trump’s sweeping new tariffs, saying, “In the long run, we’re all dead,” and slammed blind loyalty to the policy.

While Kennedy didn’t vote against Trump’s emergency tariff powers—unlike four GOP senators—he criticized the lack of clarity on economic impacts.

Trump imposed a 10% baseline tariff on all imports, falsely claiming foreign nations will bear the cost.

Kennedy told Newsmax that predictions on the tariffs’ effects are unreliable, adding anyone claiming certainty is “lying” or “selling deep stupid.”

    John Kennedy should be drinking Night Train Express from a paperbag behind the Circle K. He’s helped assure that the billionaires will eventually become trillionaires once they vulture all the tanked stocks. He’ll be rewarded for it, don’t you worry your pretty head about his “concerns”.
