'My duty was to stand and be counted': Why I leaked to the ABC
My father blew the whistle on thalidomide and reached the top of his profession, now I am facing court for releasing classified documents

But many Republicans, unwilling to buck Trump, were prepared to follow the president's lead and support 5 per cent tariffs on Mexico in his dispute over illegal immigration.Plenty of Republicans, though, are resisting Trump's transformation. Those from agricultural, manufacturing and border states are particularly opposed to the tariffs on Mexico. Kansas Senator Pat Roberts called tariffs "a really awkward thing.
"And tariffs are like shattered glass. You never know where it's going to end."
Trump has backed down but wishes he had the power of the above Socialists. Mexico has stood up to Trump won't contribute to either his wall or support his inhumanity in the treatment of Asylum Seekers. In the meantime, Trump is on a slippery slide as he realises but denies he's the one punishing all American citizens apart from a very minority.
