View submission: Canada's Trudeau announces counter tariffs
Im not sure - Ben Shapiro has been consistently opposed, for instance. There will always be people who speak in support of presidential action, no matter how asinine but I think those that matter are pretty universally against them.

I may just not be able to find anything, but searching ben shapiro and tarrifs just brings up how we could have no income tax, tarifs are leverage, and other would leaders should be able to read Trumps mind.
Doesn't seem like he's against it anymore, if he ever was.On the 23rd shapiro was ridiculing Tudeau because "why don't you just ask what Trump wants?" As if the onus is on Canada to know what Trump wants. He's been deflecting on this topic for months.
Guys like shapiro always fall in line. I haven't seen a single "conservative that matters" that has stood up to Trump on this. There's a few that have some things to say after the fact, but even the Rand Paul's of the world will fall back in line because again, they always do.

The conservatives that matter are the ones in Congress because they're the only ones with the power to stop it. So what are they going to do about it?

Keep paying attention and see if he falls in line too.

I’m so old that I can remember when Ben Shapiro was consistently opposed to Trump.

Shapiro was also anti-Trump at one point. Is he still?

He’s “opposed”, but he’ll still make sure to end his segments with some variation of, “I wholeheartedly disagree with this, but this is still better than anything the democrats can suggest so we must stand behind Trump and see what happens”
