That's what consumers are feeling.
And you can't sell the American public on the idea that you're fixing our deficit problem when the deficit continues to rise and the trade in goods deficit continues to rise.
So all of the arguments the White House has made are false.
And now he's going to have to sell this.
to the american people but i suspect it'll be very uncomfortable for the front row of the house floor when he delivers the state of the union on tuesday uh... i will certainly be watching that but they really stood up for the constitution here and the president's message if he wants to migrate to affordability he can talk about other things like you know the housing agenda that they have i mean it's not
realistic to think that a 50-year mortgage is coming.
But those are the kinds of pieces that he should focus on.
I imagine there will be quite a bit of grievance touted on the tariff front.

So it's really an exhilarating day, an incredible day for the Constitution.
Absolutely.
I think there's two ways to look at this.
First of all, this is exceptional news for President Trump.
Americans hate the tariffs.
