Trump In The Lion’s Den

Donald Trump spoke yesterday at the Economic Club of Chicago. He was interviewed by Bloomberg Editor-in-Chief John Micklethwait. Kamala Harris was invited to talk about her economic agenda but she refused. So, Donald Trump gladly sat on the stage and took questions from Micklethwait, a globalist, free trade, open borders elitist.

Trump stood his ground and said, “It must be hard for you to spend 25 years talking about tariffs as being negative and then have somebody explain to you that you’re totally wrong.”

Defending his plan to protect American industries and jobs, Trump said, “We’re going to protect those companies with strong tariffs. Because I’m a believer in tariffs. To me, the most beautiful word in the dictionary is tariff. My favorite word.”

Trump’s performance was strong -- exactly what you want sitting across from foreign leaders, friend or foe.
