    EXCERPT:

    NICHOLS: "But the president’s in love with the word 'tariffs,' and I guess he seems to think. 25% is a magic number. You know, once again, he’s going to put tariffs on things, throw markets into confusion, disrupt relations with friends and other nations around the world. And then at some point he’s going to declare victory. He’ll say, 'There, I accomplished the thing I meant to do,' whatever that was, and then have to get rid of them. But it doesn’t make any sense. We’re looking for it to make sense when, in fact, it doesn’t make any sense."
