what he's talking about.

From Trump's interview with Maria Bartiromo:

In a Sunday interview on Fox News' Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo, Trump was asked about several of his economic plans including tariffs and "how he will pay for it" due to the CRFB's projected debt increase.

The former president responded: "If I do this, you're gonna have car companies coming back to the country because of the taxes and the tariffs. The tariffs will protect them when they come in so they will protect from other companies coming in because if the other companies don't come in, they are going to have to pay massive tariffs."

Bartiromo then asked, "What about the criticism that if you do put something like a 200 percent tariff on a product, that it's only gonna mean higher prices for consumers?"

Trump, in response, denied that claim, "No it's not. No, no." However, Bartiromo interjected: "It's got to be passed on somehow."

Trump reiterated that his plan would deter foreign companies from "hurting our car companies."

"I put 200 or 500 I don't care, I'll put a number where they can't sell one car into the United States because I don't want them hurting our car companies. We are going to have a lot of car companies moving into the United States. When I use 200, I'm using it as a number, I don't want their car. They will not be able to sell cars. I'm not going to let them build a factory right across the border and sell millions of cars into the United States."
