[edpc]

The political network funded by billionaire industrialists Charles and David Koch are unveiling their first phase of a multimillion-dollar ad campaign against President Donald Trump's tariffs.

Freedom Partners, an organization that's part of the influential Koch network, is launching a six-figure television and radio ad campaign that will target the import tariffs being implemented by the Trump administration. The ads will also call on Congress to embrace free trade and not follow the course of the current White House trade policies.

"To keep growing, we must keep trading," the ad says. "Tariffs are not the answer. Tell Washington: Support Freedom. Oppose Tariffs."

Who gets their money, I suppose.  They're also running a similar campaign against the Trump immigration stance.

And the difference between the Kochs and Soros is?

The Kochs create valuable products and services and employ tens of thousands of people.

Soros manipulates stock markets, funds anarchists, and destroys currencies.

Chicken little talk.  Nothing but the rantings of fatcats trying to scare the masses.   It ain't working.

It depends on how long they stay in place.  Most of the retaliatory efforts will kick in early July.  If a farm bill has to be passed to subsidize farmers hurt by an action created by the admin, it won’t go over well.
