Mona mentioned that Trump has claimed tariffs would resolve the federal budget deficit, joblessness, high taxes, war, and the trade deficit but neglected to mention child care. Remember how during the campaign, Trump claimed that his tariffs easily would pay for child care? He's a regular laugh riot.

That’s part of the disconnect. If the tariffs were just to get negotiations going, how can they plug $600 billion into the revenue line for the budget purposes? I know, I know, they can fabricate anything they want in putting the budget legislation together.
