President Trump is standing strong against the fentanyl crisis by holding Canada accountable with new tariffs. Democrats like Senator Tim Kaine are pushing weak excuses to block these critical measures. Kaine whined about the cost of pie tins while ignoring the deadly drugs flooding into America.
Trump’s tariffs on Canada are a bold move to stop fentanyl and protect American lives. The senator from Virginia claims Canada isn’t a threat, but fentanyl deaths don’t care about political friendships. Over 75,000 Americans die yearly from this poison. Trump’s leadership is the only thing standing between hardworking families and this disaster.
Kaine called the emergency “made up” while focusing on aluminum prices. His priorities are backward. While he frets over baking supplies, Mexican cartels are setting up fentanyl labs in Canada. These drugs pour across both borders, killing our kids and neighbors. Trump’s tariffs force Canada to crack down or pay the price.
Republicans like Senator John Thune support the president’s emergency powers to fight this crisis. Thune rightly said fentanyl is a national emergency that demands strong action. Weak-kneed Republicans like Susan Collins and Rand Paul are siding with Democrats. They’re putting Canadian jobs over American lives.
The northern border isn’t safe. Last year, border agents seized 43 pounds of fentanyl there. The southern border saw 21,000 pounds. Both are pipelines of death. Trump’s tariffs tackle the problem head-on. Kaine’s resolution would handcuff law enforcement and let drug cartels win.
Democrats claim this is about taxes, not safety. They’re lying to protect big business donors. Trump’s tariffs fund border security and tax cuts that help middle-class workers. Every day without these tariffs means more drugs on our streets. Kaine’s party would rather defend foreign interests than save American lives.
Canada has become a staging ground for Mexican cartels. Trump’s tough trade policies force our neighbors to clean house. If Canada won’t act, they’ll pay. Real leaders understand that strength detrays enemies. Kaine’s pie tin tantrum shows Democrats care more about cheap imports than dead Americans.
The Senate must reject this dangerous resolution. Supporting Trump’s tariffs keeps America safe. Weak Republicans need to stop siding with radicals and back the president. Fentanyl won’t stop itself. Only strong borders and tougher trade deals will protect our communities from this poison.
