    Donald Trump is quietly gearing up to roll back some of the tariffs he promised would make the country rCLrich as hellrCY as his approval rating plummets amid an affordability crisis.

    The president slapped tariffs of up to 50 percent on steel and aluminum imports last summer, boasting that the move would provide a rCLbig joltrCY
    to U.S. industry.

    But in a humiliating retreat, and keeping true to the nickname he has
    earned for his chaotic approach to trade policyrCorCLTACO,rCY short for rCLTrump
    Always Chickens OutrCYrCoTrump now plans to scale back some of these tariffs as cost-of-living pressures drag down his approval ratings, the

    As he goes TACO, he will claim rCywe have the hottest country anywhererCO, rCywe are making SO MUCH money, it is hard to figure out where to spend it allrCO. We have heard that crap from him many times, it never made any
    sense.

    People are getting very tired of that kind of bullshit con talk from the
    orange blubber. The reality is, the cost of raw materials for
    manufacturing are raising the cost of the products. Major manufactures
    are wishing the blubbery idiot is gone for ever.

    They can not continue to eat their profits to prop up a mad man. They
    are a business, their goal is show a healthy profit in their balance
    sheets for their investors but the TACO-man is only for himself.
