Every day for months, I have seen an ad that reads “Mike Rounds: Trump Endorsed.” So Sen. Rounds is proud of that?

After years of carefully avoiding any criticism of Donald Trump, Sen. Rounds finally has questioned Trump’s order to import foreign beef. After all, that will further stress South Dakota’s drought-stricken beef producers. But otherwise, Rounds has never challenged the president on any important issue, never questioned his orders and his edicts, even when they violated the Constitution.

This is the President who, without consulting Congress, took our country on what he called a “brief excursion,” the seemingly endless war against Iran that has killed 18 U.S. service members, wounded 750 more, killed more than 3,000 Iranians, including bombing a wedding party this week, cut off 20% of the world’s oil supply and depleted our military defense capabilities.
