Dirty Turncoat Mike Pence Says He Hates Many Trump’s of Policies — Urges Supreme Court to Strike Down Tariffs (VIDEO)
Former Vice President Mike Pence has admitted he does not like many of President Trump’s policies and is urging the Supreme Court to strike down his use of tariffs.
Pence, who notoriously betrayed Trump and the MAGA movement by refusing to challenge the results of the 2020 presidential election, has spent much of the last five years working to undermine his former boss.
During an interview with RealClearPolitics, Pence said there were so many things he disagreed with he did not “know where to start.”
He began by criticizing Trump’s proposals to cap credit card interest rates.
“The most rudimentary understanding of the financial industry tells you that it will just greatly reduce the availability of credit for middle and lower-class Americans. It just will. Price controls don’t work.”
Pence then went on to slam Trump’s tariffs, despite supporting them during the 2016 campaign and his time as vice president.
He also urged the Supreme Court to “reset the constitutional balance” and strike down Trump’s tariffs:
I’ll go on another issue, for years labor unions traditionally embraced protectionist policies, embraced tariffs, but under this president from Liberation Day we’ve seen a full throated embrace.
Tariffs are really price controls, they just make the cost of goods imported in the country artificially high.
That’s how they impact price and as I’ve said many times online it is beginning, I think, to dawn on most Americans that American businesses and American consumers pay American tariffs.
I’m hoping the Supreme Court resets the constitutional balance on that.
With all due respect to the long tradition of the Democratic Party, I started as a Democratic in politics, I became a Republican because of a set of principles, chief among them is free market economics, limited government.
So the embrace of price controls, the embrace of broad based unilateral tariffs is just the latest example. And it is also what Advancing American Freedom has been a leading voice challenging from very early on.

Trump is currently imposing tariffs under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, which allows the president to restrict imports on national security grounds without congressional approval.
He is also using Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, which permits tariffs to counter unfair foreign trade practices after an executive-led investigation.
A Supreme Court decision on its legality is expected in the coming weeks.
