18. No different here than Donnie blowing up Midwest soy exports to China with tariffs...

He's the equal opportunity screwer. Why that's so hard for certain idiots to understand, I'll never know.

Yes, Phil Scott is a Republican but he could pass for a centrist Dem anywhere else in the country. That's the only way he's managed to get elected and reelected 5 times in a state where Dem votes outnumber R's generally 2 to 1 state wide. No term limits and 2 year terms for VT governors. We like being different. There's been chatter off and on for Scott to switch parties but he won't do it. That limits his career to state politics because we sure as shit aren't sending a Repuke to DC. Unknown to me why he won't since the Rockefeller wing of the Republican party is dead as hell. Has been since the 90's.
