Smoot and Hawley. Yes, sir, I definitely remember those names from high school history. God bless you, Mr. Al Gore and Mr. Perot. So, yes, what he is going to do tomorrow is going to rattle the markets. What he is going to do tomorrow is raise prices for Americans. What he is going to do tomorrow is lie to folks and say this is something that China will pay or whoever will pay when actually it is the American consumers who will pay with higher prices and more economic insecurity. This man--I will tell you this quote that Frederick Douglass once said. This I do remember. He said: The limits of tyranny are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress. How much more will we take of this? How much more will we as America say ``Cut our Medicaid to give tax cuts to the billionaires. Take the Affordable Care Act, and take away tax credits. Take away enrollment support. Hey, come after Social Security. Cut thousands of people. Make customer service get worse,'' as said the Wall Street Journal? How much more of these indignities will we take as he turns our back on our allies? How much more will we take--how much more?--of a person who is doing tyrannical things as he takes our Constitution and continues to trash it as he is running into judge after judge after judge who is trying to stop him?…
