Summary

Donald Trump has hit 60 countries - dubbed “the worst offenders” - with massive new tariffs from the US. From today, imports from China will be taxed at a staggering level - and the country has hit back, causing some serious MAGA infighting President Trump is ripping up the rulebook - and in a further move has just announced a 90-day pause on the tariffs for dozens of countries, but is hiking China’s even higher, to 125%. To discuss what all this means and more topics setting social media alight, Piers Morgan is joined by podcaster Chuck Todd, former Democrat congressman for New York Jamaal Bowman, Chairman of CPAC Matt Schlapp, former Democrat fundraiser and commentator turned Republican Lindy Li and owner of Marlin Steel, Drew Greenblatt. He’s then joined by historian and conservative political commentator Victor Davis-Hanson for his take on the risk Trump is taking - and how long it will take for the world to see whether his actions have gone according to plan.

0:00.0	China is very explicit over the long run. They want to take us out. Not to me dissimilar to what
0:05.7	happened of President Biden and the Afghanistan withdrawal. It's not the idea. It's how he's executed.
0:11.7	We hold all the cards. We're the richest country in the world. We have been a fabulous economy.
0:17.2	Everybody wants to sell to our consumers. The hysteria will start acting in reverse.
0:22.5	People will say, oh my God, look at these stocks. When he gets the big enchilada, a big, a big offer,
0:28.4	that will sell well. In the four years of the Biden presidency, why was the mainstream media
0:33.0	reluctant to go much, much harder on what everyone was seeing with their own eyes.
0:39.3	Look, we were subtle. There was this reluctance to draw the conclusion.
0:43.6	He represents a vast majority of Democrats, wallowing in their wokeism, in their DEI politics.

1:13.1	markets are reeling one way and the other. But for the time being at least, the president
1:17.1	remains unscathed. He's ripping up the rulebook, and most voters like it.
1:22.3	This is interesting. So Trump's presidential power is too much, the right amount, too little.
1:27.3	Well, 47% say too much, but then you get 36% who say the right amount, then you get 17% who say too
1:34.0	little.
1:34.6	So you're essentially dealing with a majority of the American public, 53%, who do not say that Trump
