During a town hall event on Wednesday, President Donald Trump admitted that his extensive tariff program carried potential political risks. He acknowledged that the public perception of these proposals presented a challenge. Despite this, he stated his commitment to the program, emphasizing his dedication to the nation's well-being.
Trump conceded that his actions could negatively impact the Republican party, potentially leading to a loss of control in the House of Representatives during the upcoming midterm elections. He recognized the potential consequences if public opinion did not shift in his favor.
Despite these political concerns, Trump expressed his resolve to continue with his plans. He indicated that he would not be pressured into making hasty deals to satisfy anxious investors. His focus remained on what he believed was necessary for the country.

He's more worried about himself than the American people. This is all about control.

Loss of control in the House? Good! Maybe then we can actually get things done.

He's going to cripple the economy and then blame someone else. Classic Trump.

So, he admits it could hurt the GOP, but he doesn't care? Says it all, really.
