President Donald Trump touted the success of his “legendary” tariffs just hours before they were set to take effect, claiming that “countries are calling us up, kissing my a**” to negotiate deals while markets continued to dwindle.
Speaking to the crowd during a sweeping speech at the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) Dinner Tuesday night in Washington, D.C., the president boasted that he had the “most successful 100 days in the history of this country,” despite a slumping stock market and plummeting economy. “I believe that’s right,” Trump added of his apparent achievement.
The president cited tariffs as a primary reason that his second administration is going to do “better” than his first because “this time I’m doing what I want to do with respect to the tariffs.”
