Trump: Companies Are Coming Back from China Because of Tariffs

‘They are coming back into this country, the way I get the word out is through social media’

RUSH EXCERPT:

TRUMP: “President Trump: I don’t use the word Twitter, I say social media. If I don’t use social media come outside of you and a few other great people, I call them patriots. You’re not really patriots as much is you want ratings. You give me great ratings, last night you have tremendous — I heard the speech. That was an easy night, you and tucker and everyone else said let’s do it and you did it. It was a great evening. I view it as a social media, a way of getting the word out. When you have the lies and the frauds committed by the other networks, many of the other networks, you look at what’s going on, it’s disgraceful. This way I get the word out and I’m getting it out strongly. I have hundreds of millions of people that see this, plus as soon as I do it tweet it gets broadcast even in the places you would least expect it because they are desperate for news. It’s really a way of getting the truth out because the media has gone loco, they have lost all control. They don’t even call a perfect check. I remember ten years ago, 15 years ago — I actually used to get great press. Before I decide to become a politician and one on the conservative basis because that’s what it is. That’s what we are doing so well at. Probably doing better right now in our economy, wages are up, haven’t gone up in years, in decades. Wages are up over 3%, the things that have happened in Jobs, unemployment, the amount of people working, companies are pouring back into our country from Japan. They’re coming back from China because I put the tariffs on. They are coming back into this country, the way I get the word out is through social media. I don’t know that I would’ve been successful if I didn’t have it.”
