'Let Them Eat Cake' Moment: Trump's Big 'Pain' Confession Leaves Critics Horrified
HuffPost
The president had insisted his tariffs wouldn't raise prices. Now he's admitting otherwise.
Critics are calling out President Donald Trump for admitting that his tariffs, which he long insisted wouldn’t lead to higher prices for essential goods, may at first cause “pain” for millions of American families.
“I’m not concerned. We may have short-term a little pain,” he told reporters on Sunday evening. “And people understand that.”
He said the United States had been “ripped off by virtually every country in the world,” leading to major trade deficits.
“We’re going to change it. It’s been unfair,” he said.
Trump made similar comments in an all-caps rant on his Truth Social website, admitting there may be “some pain” but that it would be “worth the price that must be paid.”
