a way to even judge. Okay. Of how he is dealing with tariffs and inflation in particular,
00:07
he told us explicitly, explicitly, Senator, what he would do during his campaign. He said
00:15
very specifically what he would do on tariffs and other issues relating to the economy.
00:20
And voters still chose him over Democrats. How do you explain that?
00:24
Look, the bottom line is that no one realized the chaos. It's not tariffs themselves. I've been tough
00:35
on China, and there are certain tariffs against China that are appropriate. But what he did was
00:40
totally chaotic. He turned the whole world against us. Instead of focusing on China and getting the
00:46
world to join us because they don't like what China does, he imposed tariffs across the board
00:51
on nation after nation after nation. And now they're being allied with China. In addition,
00:57
he never told the American people the kinds of tariffs he were imposing across the board,
01:02
and some of them very, very high, would raise their costs. It's estimated it'll raise the American
01:06
costs. The family, American families would have to pay about $4,000 more a year. The price of food
01:13
and clothing and gasoline, buying a new car, all would go up dramatically. And so he never
01:20
leveled with the American people. And no one ever imagined it would be as chaotic and as poorly
01:25
planned. One person says one thing one day, another person says another thing the next day. And another
01:30
thing that's another terrible effect that's having, Dana, on this is that businesses, I've been all
01:37
around my state. I've been in six different districts of Republicans talking to them,
01:43
talking to the people about tariffs. And small businesses, medium-sized businesses and large
01:50
businesses are frozen, even, you know, because they don't know what Trump will do next. And that's
01:55
heading us into a recession. And what does a recession mean to the average family? You could lose
01:59
your job, harder to get a new job, costs go up. So the American people are furious. The promises Trump
02:07
made are far different than how it's been effectuated. And that's why his hundred days are a disaster.
