Trump gets into heated match with journalist over tariffs: ‘You’ve been wrong all your life’ #shorts

Former President Donald Trump got in a heated exchange with Bloomberg Editor-in-Chief John Micklethwait on Tuesday when talking about tariffs — telling the journalist he’s been “wrong” his entire life.

Micklethwait repeatedly asked Trump at The Economic Club of Chicago how he would enact high tariffs on foreign companies without getting an economic blowback on the American consumer in exchange — as the current US economy is intertwined with China and the EU.

“The overall effect could be massive,” the editor said, adding that Trump is set to launch the US into a “trade war.”

Trump replied of his proposed policy: “It’s going to have a massive effect — positive effect. It’s going to be a positive effect.”

“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,” the former president jabbed.

Donald Trump's trade wars with China resulted in a U.S. trade deficit of $679 billion. In a Republican mind, increasing the cost of imported goods while decreasing exports due to trade retaliation will lead America to economic success.
