Jeffrey Goldberg: Trump Really Believes that Tariffs Will Be Our Salvation

EXCERPT:

GOLDBERG: “He really believes that tariffs will be our salvation and he's committed -- and we've heard him, he says well, maybe this quarter will be bad, maybe next quarter will be bad. It's amazing that you -- you really don't hear presidents that committed to causing -- to causing a recession in order to achieve an ideological goal. It's sort of impressive in the sense that a man who we think doesn't really believe in anything really does believe in this as a panacea -- impressive in kind of almost a perverse way --“
BRZEZINSKI: “Yeah.”
GOLDBERG: “-- when you look at your 401(k) or -- or -- or the stock market. But -- but he really is gripped by the idea that this is the salvation of the United States and he doesn't really care what experts say.”
