Former vice-president says tariffs ‘not a win for the American people’ and predicts public pressure will grow

I will guess that many of you don’t like Mike Pence, but he has said a few things which I think are good:

  • He has said Trump’s tariffs will probably harm Americans
  • He has criticised Trump for not backing Ukraine
  • He seems to want to respect Canada’s sovereignty, describing Canada as “a great ally, whose soldiers have fought and died alongside Americans in every war since world war one”

    The one thing I will always respect him for is his refusal of Trump’s attempted coup on Jan 6th, 2021.
    He actually stuck with democracy by declining to throw out electoral votes for Joe Biden, while outside the insurrectionists were beating down the doors to the Capitol.
