@HawleyMO doesn't get it. He is a pro-life socialist. He is a big-government Republican who thinks compassion is measured by the generosity of government.
"And remember, if the Republicans win the House and Senate ... Every adult in America will get $5,000."
President Trump repeats his proposed "Trump dividend" during remarks in Gastonia, North Carolina, saying the payment would go to adult Americans if Republicans win the House and Senate in November. Trump says tariff revenue would help fund the plan.
Presidents increasingly use emergency powers for routine policymaking. Today, 52 emergencies unlock 100+ statutory powers, while Congress has terminated just one in 50 years. Emergency powers were meant for genuine crises, not unchecked presidential power, writes Cato's Molly Nixon.

As a Reagan conservative, this is hardly "fair and balanced" (the old @Foxnews motto). The economy is CRAWLING at a 2% growth rate. Tariffs are a huge drag on economic growth. Free markets work.

Quick trade balance update:
1) Trade deficits have not been increasing
2) Trump tariffs caused the biggest trade deficit increase in history and then the biggest decrease in history (circled part), but no long-term reduction in trade deficits
3) The US trade deficit is now higher (as of August) than the trend going back to 2010 (red line)
This is NOT conservative. If the @GOP endorses this, they will cease to be a conservative party.
Government isn't Santa Claus.

NEW: President Trump makes a major promise at the Republican midterm convention in Dallas: $5,000 for every adult U.S. citizen if Republicans win both the House and Senate in the midterms.
“I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for $5,000.”
Anyone else remember when the Senate Finance Committee said any change to the de minimis tariff exemption that helped low-income families and allowed @CBP to better use its resources would require congressional approval? Well, here's a reminder!
What a disaster. These are international waters. BAD precedent. What is to keep China or others from doing the same in other waters? @GOP@HouseGOP@SenateGOP Trump says he will soon declare the Strait of Hormuz a US territory
The minute the blockade lifts, the President loses leverage. The second there's a license to sell oil, certainly without an escrow account requirement, he loses more. The moment Iran can tap frozen accounts to pay off debts, he loses more. Internalize the failure of the MOU.
