The president's top trade advisor just went on national television and refused to deny that the administration is illegally using trade deals as leverage for Trump's personal gain.

The idea that this administration is putting American families and workers first is laughable. https://t.co/Y41dmM3BIG

Uhh, oh!

Looks line Wisconsin GOP Senator Ron Johnson doesn't want to be thrown under Trump's bus, since he too, publicly supported the acts that the President says are corrupt.

Your project is a terrible idea because it’s a terrible idea, not because we said so. https://t.co/lvPolE1sBw
