What are MAGA Republicans saying about the pain caused by Trump's policies?

0.229 - 28.185 Ben Meiselas

Sometimes being a disruptor causes pain, and pain is good. That's what the MAGA Republicans are using as their talking points now. As Donald Trump's approval is plummeting, they are praising the pain that Trump is inflicting upon the nation. How do you know you're in a cult? Maybe because you're saying things like this. So you had MAGA Republican Congress member Mauser.

28.245 - 36.09 Ben Meiselas

He goes on CNN and he goes, pain, pain, pain is good. What? Play this clip.

36.11 - 64.511 Democratic Congress Member Garcia

The next presidency, because we believe in the plan of the presidents, and that is to strengthen our national security, strengthen our economy, and sometimes being a disruptor causes some short-term problems fallbacks, some short-term setbacks. But nevertheless, that is not an indicator of long-term prosperity. And we believe in the end, it's not about how you start, it's how you finish.

64.571 - 70.397 Democratic Congress Member Garcia

And we think the market's coming back and the results in the end are gonna be very strong.

71.803 - 93.291 Ben Meiselas

And just so you see, this is like part of their talking points. And it's not unique to that MAGA Republican Congress member. You've got MAGA Republican Congress member Ryan Zink. And he's like, yeah, he's from Montana's first congressional district. And he's like, yeah, you know, Donald Trump's doing shotgun policy. And, you know, he shoots from the hip. He shoots from the hip.

93.331 - 95.352 Ben Meiselas

But, you know, we deserve it. Here, play this clip.

95.873 - 100.882 Ryan Reynolds

The economy is fickle. The economy, you know, people are hurting, and people are hurting in Montana.

101.423 - 108.535 Democratic Congress Member Garcia

And tariffs, you know... Do you think the tariffs, the trade war that he's launched against so many countries around the world is a disaster?

109.308 - 124.664 Ryan Reynolds

I wouldn't say disaster. President Trump has a tendency to do the shotgun. But he also looks for the deal. You know, I'm more of a surgical, former SEAL Team 6. I like the surgical, you know, hit rather than the broad shotgun.
