NextImg:'He Was Lying!': 'Daily Show' Nails Trump With His Own Damning Words On Prices
LOADINGERROR LOADING

Daily Show” correspondent Michael Kosta gave President Donald Trump a reminder of a key promise on tariffs made during the 2024 campaign.

Trump campaigned vigorously on tariffs, calling it “the most beautiful word” and insisting that Americans wouldn’t pay for them.

That changed after he became president.

In February, he admitted tariffs may cause “a little pain” for consumers. Last month, he said he “couldn’t care less” if tariffs raised the price of foreign cars. And his administration and allies have been saying for weeks that consumers should brace for higher prices.

“There’s absolutely going to be short-term pain,” Sen. Tim Sheehy, (R-Mont.) said on CNN. “The president’s been clear about that. Everyone has.”

Kosta rolled footage of Trump allies saying he’s been honest about the impact of tariffs on prices and everybody knew that when they voted for him.

“Trump was very honest during the campaign that tariffs would drive prices higher, right? Right?” Kosta mockingly agreed. “Right?”

Naturally, that led to video of Trump insisting during the campaign that tariffs wouldn’t raise prices.
