The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart
Trump’s Domination Politics, at Home and Abroad with Fareed Zakaria

All these deals have been done.

The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart
Trump’s Domination Politics, at Home and Abroad with Fareed Zakaria

You undo the whole reputation and a set of relationships and deals I have made

The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart
Trump’s Domination Politics, at Home and Abroad with Fareed Zakaria

Well, yes, but what you did was plainly unconstitutional.

The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart
Trump’s Domination Politics, at Home and Abroad with Fareed Zakaria

I mean, literally, it is in the Constitution, in a line, not by implication or inference.

The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart

There is a line that says foreign commerce will be regulated by Congress.

The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart
Trump’s Domination Politics, at Home and Abroad with Fareed Zakaria

Tariffs were regulated by Congress.

The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart
Trump’s Domination Politics, at Home and Abroad with Fareed Zakaria

And by the way, they knew what tariffs were.

The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart
Trump’s Domination Politics, at Home and Abroad with Fareed Zakaria

The reason we had the American Revolution was...

The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart

Tariffs.

The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart

When people talk about the Tea Party, what was that?

The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart
Trump’s Domination Politics, at Home and Abroad with Fareed Zakaria

That was a tariff, which they called a tax and a tariff interchangeable on tea coming in from Britain.

The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart
Trump’s Domination Politics, at Home and Abroad with Fareed Zakaria

But by the way, that means the whole American revolution was a misunderstanding.

The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart
Trump’s Domination Politics, at Home and Abroad with Fareed Zakaria

If only we had realized that we in America were not paying the tariffs, it was the poor Brits who were paying it.

The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart

Why did we revolt?

The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart
Trump’s Domination Politics, at Home and Abroad with Fareed Zakaria

That's right.

The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart

But I don't think he'll do it, John, because I think your inspector's general point is an interesting one.

The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart
Trump’s Domination Politics, at Home and Abroad with Fareed Zakaria

So, you know, he comes in for day one, he fires all the inspectors general.

The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart
Trump’s Domination Politics, at Home and Abroad with Fareed Zakaria

Now, congressional law allows the president to fire the inspectors general, but there's a procedure in the law, which is you have to give six months notice.

The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart
Trump’s Domination Politics, at Home and Abroad with Fareed Zakaria

He didn't follow procedure.

The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart
Trump’s Domination Politics, at Home and Abroad with Fareed Zakaria

There has to be a specific charge of complaints against each inspector general.
