Summary
Ted Cruz warned that Trump’s tariffs could trigger a GOP “bloodbath” in the 2026 midterms, citing inflation and market fallout as major risks.
On his Verdict podcast, Cruz criticized tariffs as taxes on consumers and urged they be short-lived.
The S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 plunged nearly 10% over two days. Senator Rand Paul and others echoed concerns, with Paul warning tariffs could add $5,000–$15,000 to car prices.
Senator Chuck Grassley has introduced a bill requiring congressional approval of tariffs within 60 days or automatic expiration.
Again, Republicans are worried about their own jobs and power, not about any of the problems of the working American family, the average white fucking American family that voted for this btw.
Although you are correct, this is no different than most Democrats, as well. I mean the Dems spent $10 million paying influencers on TikTok to vote for them. https://www.youtube.com/embed/JytdxpsJdLQ
Also, to be fair, a large chunk of minorities, larger than last election’s, also voted for Trump. So take it easy there on the race blaming, unless you want to blame minorities, as well.
Edit: Wow, lots of people in denial, I see.
Yes, propaganda is very strong. Lies have legs.
Nuuu, you can’t sabotage the midterms yet, Cruz isn’t running for election again until 2030. It’s the only way us Texas lefties are ever getting rid of him.
Do you really want to leave Republicans in charge of the legislature until Cruz is up for reelection?
Sorry, I thought it was pretty obvious that I was joking.
Of course Ted fucking Cruz is concerned with getting reelected, not, you know; the whole horrific collapse of the stock market, wiping out the 401ks and retirement savings of any of his constituents who even had them.
Or the financial harm that absolutely will translate into direct harm as people can’t afford to fucking eat.
No no. It’s that the party that caused this fucking disaster won’t stay in power. That’s the real reason they need to act.
and then the many trumpers that are dependant medicaid/care which Dr, snakesoilman will cutoff soon.
That’s definitely next. But the tariffs are absolutely going to fuck people over.
Then increased cost of food and other necessities is only the first part.
The next is companies finding ways to skimp where they can. I.e. payroll. They’re going to lean up and dump “extraneous” employees. Maybe reduce staffing below redundancy and fuck coverage. Maybe reneg on promised raises. And closing down unprofitable stuff. Maybe move to using AI for ever increasingly stupid applications.
The shockwave in the markets is only just beginning.
From Cancun, you can say so many things!
And that’s all he cares about.
First. Fuck Ted Cruz. Second. It’s not just tariffs you fucking dumb cunt. It’s the whole toxic and traitorous Republican Party.
I don’t know why they are so worried, Trump has toppled all the heads of government agencies with loyalists. They will be well prepared to finish their transition towards authoritarianism in the midterms, although they will have a lot more to worry about before they even get there.
The feds have less control over blue state elections (although just ignoring the results is always an option), but red state governments will probably fall in line and throw out any results they don’t like.
Midterms? Not at this rate. I’m sure some fabricated emergency will spring up delaying such democratic luxuries.
Ted in here downvoting 😂🤣
Fuck you Ted 🖕
Stop it Rafael, I can only get so erect.
Like there will ever be another actual untampered with election.
I fucking hate Ted.

In the elections, right?
Fled Cruz can go pound dirt with his hips. There will be a bloodbath on a few fronts.
he will probably emigrate to cancun before the bloodbath happens.
