Ok I did a little bit of digging around as to why, because it didn't make logical sense, but and Amash has a very selfish motivation for this move.
A review of Amash’s financial interests quickly reveals a very personal business motive. His family tool business is heavily invested in Chinese manufacturing.
Representative Amash reports income of between $100,000 to $1,000,000/yr. for his ownership stake in Michigan Industrial Tools. Michigan Industrial Tools is the parent company, manufacturing in China, that produces Tekton Tools, Justin Amash’s Michigan family business.

Obviously President Trump’s tariff and trade position against China is adverse to the financial interests of Justin Amash.
And there has been issues with him saying his tools are Made in the USA and they are not.
I just lost all respect for him, pathetic.
Beyond that, Reddit is talking about launching a primary challenger to him because he is viewed as a total traitor now.
