Democrats Dislike The 'chaos' Of Trump's Trade War But Are Ok With Some Tariffs

Democrats are quick to say that President Donald Trump's tariffs are horrible, awful, terrible. But Democrats are also stressing that they are not inherently anti-tariff.

What Trump's political opponents say they really dislike is the "chaos" he has unleashed.

"Tariffs are an important tool in our economic toolbox," said Sen. Elizabeth Warren , D-Mass. "Trump is creating chaos, and that chaos undercuts our economy and our families, both in the short term and the long term. ... He's just created a worldwide hurricane, and that's not good for anyone."

Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., said Democrats have a consensus around "a unified concept, which is targeted tariffs can work, across the board tariffs are bad."

"The right targeting is in the eye of the beholder, but nobody on our side thinks zero tariffs ever," Kaine said.
