Trump begins tariffs news conference by talking to steel workers as tho they're children
"Steel is steel"
Trump helpfully explains that if companies want to make steel in the U.S., then they won't have to pay the tariff
Trump's vision for the U.S. jobs market is making steel, solar panels, and washing machines. #MAGA
Trump whines about how everybody has been so mean and bad: "Fact is we've been treated so badly over the years by other countries, I think really we've been treated very badly by our politicians, by our presidents, by ppl that represented us that didn't know what they were doing"
Trump says his admin will take couple weeks to figure out who's been naughty and who's been nice: "Tariffs don't go effective for another 15 days. We're going to see who is treating us fairly, who is not treating us fairly. Part of that will be military. Who's paying the bills."
After a strange tangent about Elon Musk, Trump reveals he knows what the word "reciprocal" means
What in the heck is Trump talking about?

He gestures at steel workers and says, "because I grew up with this group of people, I know a lot about the steel industry and I know a lot about the aluminum industry. We're going to bring them back."
LOLLLLL Trump tells a steelworker that "your father is looking down and is very proud," but the guy is still alive
Trump closes with some incoherent comments about trans shipping.

"We're going to stop the trans shipping, or we're going to let it happen and they're going to pay."
Tfw you own the libs by hurting American businesses and consumers
