Chapter 1: What was the controversial statement made during the press briefing?
Donald Trump's chief propagandist, his press secretary, Caroline Leavitt, just gave a disastrous press conference in the White House. And she said Americans are getting their tax cuts right now. She says those tariffs are the tax cuts. Watch as the reporter pushes back. They'll play this clip.
You're welcome. If we could just step back for a second. When President Trump last addressed the BRT when he was on the campaign trail, his big push was on tax cuts. He's going there today as he's proposing tax hikes in the form of tariffs. And I'm curious for why he's prioritizing that over the tax cuts.
He's actually not implementing tax hikes. Tariffs are a tax hike on foreign countries that, again, have been ripping us off. Tariffs are a tax cut for the American people, and the president is a staunch advocate of tax cuts. As you know, he campaigned on no taxes on tips, no taxes on overtime, no taxes on Social Security benefits.
He is committed to all three of those things, and he expects Congress to pass them later this year. I'm sorry, have you ever paid a tariff?
Because I have. They don't get charged on foreign companies. They get charged on the importers.
And ultimately, when we have fair and balanced trade, which the American people have not seen in decades, as I said at the beginning, revenues will stay here, wages will go up, and our country will be made wealthy again. And I think it's insulting that you're trying to test my knowledge of economics and the decisions that this president has made.
I now regret giving a question to the Associated Press.
Mary. It was great work by the reporter from the Associated Press. You see why the Trump administration is so or the regime is so afraid of them. Next up, Caroline Leavitt is asked if she and the president still believe that Canada is an ally of the United States. She does not say yes.
She calls Canada potentially a competitor and goes on to reiterate that Donald Trump wants to annex Canada and make it the 51st state. Here, play this clip.

Chapter 2: Why is the Trump administration's stance on tariffs causing backlash?
Go ahead. Then Caroline Leavitt brags that Donald Trump might be driving around a Tesla later today and photographing himself in a new Tesla that he bought to help Elon Musk out play this clip.
And I'll see you guys later. Perhaps you'll see the president in a Tesla later this afternoon. Have a good one.
By the way, if you saw my coverage earlier in the day as well, Donald Trump had made posts about how he was going to buy a Tesla to help out his billionaire friend, Elon Musk. And then last night on Fox, Sean Hannity said that he was buying a Tesla in order to support Elon Musk, because that's what they got to do. Stand in solidarity with their billionaire buds.
Next up, Caroline Levitt talks about the golden age that exists right now in America. She says this is a golden age in manufacturing. Play this clip.
So we are in a period of transition from that economic nightmare under a president who had no idea what he was doing, never held a private sector job in his life, into a golden age of American manufacturing under a businessman and a dealmaker in chief and President Donald J. Trump, who will be implementing, is implementing the formula that we know works.
Look at President Trump's results in his first term. If people are looking for certainty, they should look at the record of this president. That's why the American people reelected him back to this office.
Yeah, tell that to people, Caroline, whose pensions are in the gutter right now, whose 401 s have been absolutely destroyed, people whose lives have been ruined in a very short period of time by Donald Trump as America heads into a Trump recession or even potentially a Trump depression.
Next up, Caroline Levitt talks about how the globalist mainstream media is to blame and that the economy is actually fine, but it's the globalists who are doing this. Here, play this clip.
And despite the globalist mainstream media's attempts to worry consumers, President Trump will not repeat the trend of past American presidents who broke their promises to the American public and smiled while they stuck a knife in the back of American workers and shipped their jobs overseas.
