Good Old Sen. Ernst Takes a kicking and keeps on licking..tariffs..Iran..KMA radio link

(Washington) -- Iowa Senator Joni Ernst says President Trump is helping Americans by continuing to impose tariffs on foreign goods.

. While saying the Supreme Court ruling was just, Ernst tells KMA News Trump is still a deal maker when it comes to tariffs, and is watching out for Americans.

After absolutely no new trade deals under Biden, what we've seen with President Trump is that he's opened up new markets for beef, for soybeans, for our Iowa corn and so much more."

Senator Joni Ernst says military strikes against Iran should be on the table

"If negotiations fail, then that is on the table," said Ernst. "But, unlike the previous administration, there is just no weakness in this White House. If the president does have to make that hard decision to strike Iran, he will do it."

Gliding along in tRump's slipstream, picking bits of fecal matter from his scales. Always ready to jump at her master's commands.
Good little parasite.

Hey Joni, A lot of people who are leaving congress find their inner soul and speak truth to power...Oh, never mind. You don't seem to have a soul.
