Pence Turns on Trump AGAIN: Begs SCOTUS to Kill Tariffs

Former Vice President Mike Pence blasted President Donald Trump's economic agenda in a recent interview, signaling deep divisions within the Republican Party over trade and consumer policy.

Pence told RealClearPolitics that he disagreed with so many Trump policies he did not know where to start.

He specifically condemned proposals to cap credit card interest rates, warning, "The most rudimentary understanding of the financial industry tells you that it will just greatly reduce the availability of credit for middle and lower-class Americans. It just will. Price controls don’t work."

Pence then targeted Trump's tariffs, which he once supported during the 2016 campaign and his vice presidency. He described them as price controls that artificially inflate costs.

"Tariffs are really price controls, they just make the cost of goods imported in the country artificially high. That’s how they impact price and as I’ve said many times online it is beginning, I think, to dawn on most Americans that American businesses and American consumers pay American tariffs. I’m hoping the Supreme Court resets the constitutional balance on that," he said.

Pence framed his opposition as a defense of core conservative principles.

"With all due respect to the long tradition of the Democratic Party, I started as a Democrat in politics, I became a Republican because of a set of principles, chief among them is free market economics, limited government," the turncoat Republican claimed. "So the embrace of price controls, the embrace of broad-based unilateral tariffs is just the latest example. And it is also what Advancing American Freedom has been a leading voice challenging from very early on."

WATCH:

Trump imposes the tariffs under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 for national security reasons and Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 to address unfair foreign practices.

A Supreme Court ruling on their legality is expected soon, with decisions possibly issued as early as January 20.

The Judas of January 6 has now fully unmasked himself as the high priest of the old-guard establishment.

Mike Pence, once a heartbeat away from the MAGA revolution, now prays at the altar of free-trade dogma while ordinary Americans suffer the real-world pain of globalist sellouts.

His calls for the Supreme Court to kneecap Trump's tariffs reveal not principle, but betrayal, once again.

Pence's nostalgia for the pre-Trump GOP is as irrelevant as his political future.

History will remember him not as a defender of limited government, but as the man who sided with Democrats, globalists and Wall Street over Main Street when it mattered most.
