Well, economists say that these tariffs could lead to higher prices for consumers, especially if Trump imposes a 60% tariff on China, as he has mentioned before. Does that concern you? I don't believe that the economists have this right. President Trump has challenged some of these top economists who are making these claims, and I would agree with him that it liberates the American worker. She's been criticized for her vote against the Pact act, which would have expanded benefits for veterans exposed to toxins. The PACT act was not a well crafted bill. (01:23–01:36)

CLAIM

Asserts disagreement with economists' views on tariffs and supports Trump's stance that tariffs benefit American workers.
