Flashback: Trump on Implications of the Supreme Court Overturning His Authority on Tariffs
EXCERPT:
TRUMP: “We're making so much money with tariffs, that we'll also be able to make a nice dividend to middle-income people. We're talking about middle-income and lower-income people, we're not talking about dividends to rich people. But there's so much money being made from the tariffs, and countries that were taking advantage of us for many, many years are not taking advantage of us anymore. We're taking in tremendous amounts of money from countries that we were losing lots of money to. And you know what? They're OK with it. They're not complaining. They're not complaining about the tariffs. They'd rather not have them, but they're not saying there's anything wrong. And the big thing is, in the court, we have tremendous flexibility with the current system. It's unbelievable for national security. I've ended eight wars, largely because of trade and because of tariffs. If we go the other tariff route, and there are other routes we can go, but it won't give you the same pure national security as this one. This one is swift and very powerful.”
