Santorum: I Like the Fact Trump’s Fighting for Americans with These Tariffs

RUSH EXCERPT:
SANTORUM: "As someone who pushed for steel tariffs and believed they were the right thing to do, the reality is President Trump won this election because the Americans are tired of being pushed around on the world stage when it comes to trade. We have these huge trade deficits and you can see, well, it benefits the economy overall. It benefits some in the economy. It didn’t benefit western Pennsylvania in the ‘90s and when I was representing that area and the reality is that, we have a large group of Americans who want to see us fight for American jobs and to be surprised that the president says he’s going to do what he’s been saying he’s going to do, no one should be surprised that Donald Trump is doing it. Do I agree specifically with what he’s doing? I have some concerns about it. But I like the fact that he’s fighting. I like the fact he’s out there pushing for this and of course the world’s not going to like it. They have a great deal with America right now. The reality is this president’s going to fight, should he focus a little bit more and maybe deal with it a little differently but I like the fact that he’s doing this."
