Are we sure Vance hates Tariffs? It seems Trump has surrounded himself with people that think like him. There’s no “adults in the room” like the first administration.

He is surrounding himself by sycophants who won’t speak up or fight back.

We know for instance that Rubio’s foreign policy stances are the opposite of Trump’s. But he is towing the line.

It’s not so much there are no adults in the room. It’s that they are all spineless.
