Trump on Inflation: ‘We’re Not that Rich Right Now ... Because We Let These Nations Take Advantage of Us’

BAIER: “So, if all goes to plan, when do you think families will be able to feel prices going down, groceries, energy, or are you kind of saying to them, ‘Hang on, inflation may get worse until it gets better?’”
Trump: “No, I think we’ll become a rich — look, we’re not that rich right now. We owe $36 trillion. That’s because we let all these nations take advantage of us. Same thing, like $200 billion with Canada, we owe 300 — we have a deficit with Mexico of $350 billion. I’m not going to do that. I’m not going to let that happen.”
