Paul Begala on Trump Tariffs: Dems Should Be Doing ‘Blame Assignment,’ ‘This Is Economic Arson’

RUSH EXCERPT:

BEGALA: “He didn‘t have to do it. It was completely this is this is economic arson. It‘s not a lightning strike. This is a guy setting fire to your savings. And I think the comment from Jamie Dimon is really prescient because he said more pain is coming and he means inflation. So right now it‘s a stock market. Soon it‘s going to be the supermarket. So if you drive or dress or drink or eat, your costs are going up. And it‘s the one thing he got elected to do was cut the cost of living. But Democrats need to spread that now to Republicans and say, you could stop this. Congress is supposed to control tariffs. Years ago, they ceded that authority. The president, Mr. Trump is doing is not illegal. I just think it‘s unwise. But Congress should claw back that power and every Democrat would be for it. The Republicans have to own this because they could take that power back away from the president.”
