The Trump administration has crafted a draft bill — ordered by the president — that would declare America's abandonment of World Trade Organization rules, according to Axios. The bill essentially provides President Donald Trump — who has argued for a better position for the U.S. in big trade pacts — a license to raise U.S. tariffs at will, without congressional consent and largely outside of the international rules governed by the WTO. The bill, titled the "United States Fair and Reciprocal Tariff Act," would give Trump unilateral power to ignore the two most basic principles of the WTO and negotiate one-on-one with any country.

  Oh get off your moral high horse.

  Conservatives don't like the use of hyperbole unless it's protected by the magic (R).

  BTW, you guys promised me I'd be able to marry my dog once we let the gays do it. I'm still waiting...

  You've been misinformed. It you wait for the gays to do it, you will have to wait for your dog to divorce them again before you can marry it.
