Donald Trump actually said...

"THE OPERATION IS OVER! THE PATIENT LIVED, AND IS HEALING."

"The tariffs give us great power to negotiate. Always have."

"The reciprocal tariffs are still only half the rates charged by those nations on U.S. products, characterizing his new levies as 'kind.'"

"For years, hard working American citizens were forced to sit on the sidelines as other nations got rich and powerful, much of it at our expense."
