The Democratic Party is missing an opportunity to criticize President Donald Trump's tariffs aggressively, according to Washington Post columnist Catherine Rampell, who warns that this oversight could be detrimental to their chances of opposing the president's trade policies. The columnist argues that Democrats should take a tougher stance on tariffs to regain credibility and show voters they are committed to fair trade practices. By failing to do so, Democrats risk being seen as too soft on Trump's trade agenda. This lack of action may ultimately hurt their ability to oppose the president's economic policies.
