Trump admits he's making up numbers—and experts predict trouble

Donald Trump appeared on Fox’s “Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo,” where Bartiromo asked the convicted felon about his threats to put a 200% tariff on all car imports from Mexico. Bartiromo pointed out that “it's only going to mean higher prices for consumers.”

“It's not that. No, no, it doesn't mean that,” Trump said.

“It’s got to be passed on somewhere,” Bartiromo pointed out.

Trump then all but admitted that his understanding of tariffs and his highly criticized tariff plans are basically an attempt to scare companies into manufacturing in the United States.

“All I'm doing is saying I'll put 200 or 500, I don't care, I'll put a number where they can't sell one car into the United” States, Trump explained.
