    “People are worried, even some people who voted for you, saying ‘I didn’t sign up for this.’ So how do you address those concerns?” ABC host Terry Moran asked Trump.

    “They did sign up for it, actually, and this is what I campaigned on,” Trump replied. He added, when questioned about price increases on electronics, clothing and homebuilding, that “China probably will eat those tariffs.”

        Sounds like something he would say.

        “You’ll see. They’ll pay us to receive their products. Soon they’ll pay us. And then we’ll have more dolls than we know what to do with. We’ll have so many dolls.”
