00:00No, tariffs are making us rich.
00:12We were losing a lot of money under Biden, trillions of dollars, trillions on trade.
00:19And now that's that whole tide has turned.
00:23We're making a lot of money.
00:25We're taking a lot of money.
00:25And don't forget, we're taking in 25 percent on cars, 25 percent on steel, 25 percent on aluminum, 10 percent baseline.
00:34We put penalties on China for sending us fentanyl.
00:37We put penalties on Mexico and Canada, 25 percent for allowing fentanyl and allowing the borders to be weak.
00:48Now, we're taking in billions and billions of dollars while I sit here and talk to you.
00:53And we didn't do we didn't take in anything before other than the tariffs that I put on previous to Biden, which were the tariffs I put on China, where we took in up until this point, probably seven hundred billion dollars.
01:06They were Trump tariffs.
01:08He tried to weaken them.
01:10He did everything he could.
01:11You know, he got paid money by China, right?
01:13The family got paid money.
01:15He did.
01:16And so I don't know, maybe that was the reason or maybe it wasn't.
01:20But he tried to weaken them, but he couldn't because it was so much money that his budgets, you know, they couldn't stand not doing it.
01:27But I took in in the up till this point, my tariffs on China.
01:35Nobody ever took in 10 cents from China.
01:37No other president took in 10 cents.
01:38I took in more than 700 billion dollars from China.
01:42So we're we're doing very well.
01:45I mean, our country is doing very well.
01:47They had a bad report today from one of the health care companies that had an impact on the stock market.
01:54But this is about that.
01:56This is really we're building a base.
01:58We're building a country like no other.
02:00And again, I think I had the strongest economy in the history of a country by far, history of any country, probably.
02:06But the history of our country in four years.
02:09And I think this has a chance to be much better.
