'Hang tough, it won't be easy': Trump defiant on tariffs

[Dulcinea]

(AFP) US President Donald Trump on Saturday doubled down on the sweeping tariffs he unleashed on countries around the world, warning Americans of pain ahead, but promising historic investment and prosperity.

The comments came as Trump's widest-ranging tariffs took effect in a move that could trigger retaliation and escalating trade tensions that could upset the global economy.

"We have been the dumb and helpless 'whipping post,' but not any longer. We are bringing back jobs and businesses like never before," Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.

"This is an economic revolution, and we will win," he added. "Hang tough, it won't be easy, but the end result will be historic."

1. On Day one I will lower prices on everything

But it doesn’t matter because stupid people whom I love believe my lies. Now that the election is over I no longer need them. This is what people with conservative values call integrity.
