Trump doubled #tariffs on foreign steel and told American #steelworkers he had their backs.

Then he turned around and is now using foreign steel to build his $400 million White House #ballroom.

Two days after accepting the donation, the White House issued a proclamation that cut tariffs in half for the exact type of #steel producer that donated it.

The hypocrisy here isn’t subtle.
