President Trump on Sunday Morning Futures
- Regarding the pause on tariffs for certain imports: President Trump mentioned, “I aimed to assist American car manufacturers until April 2nd. After that, it will be reciprocal—what they charge us, we charge them.”
- On the Democrats’ behavior during his joint address: Expressing disbelief, he remarked, “There’s something off about them. Their discussions included men competing in women’s sports… While Republicans cheered, the Democrats raised their small signs—it’s quite unbelievable. They just don’t seem to understand.”
- Regarding the revitalization of American shipbuilding: Highlighting a $20 billion investment in the U.S., he emphasized, “We are laying a solid foundation for the future. Just recently, we had one of the world’s largest shipbuilders in the Oval Office.”
