Okay. The first thing I should tell you tonight is that House Democratic leader, Hakeem Jeffries, is standing by him and talked to him in just a few minutes.

There's always a lot to talk with him about, but tonight the list is very, especially long.

I mean, for starters today, Donald Trump made his most explicit comments yet about his

openness to deporting American citizens. And yes, his intention is to scare you. And yeah, the things

he's saying are scary. I'm not going to minimize that. But his comments are also a reminder

that aspiring dictators, of which he is one, who threaten to deport their own citizens,

are not speaking from a position of strength. They are speaking from a position of weakness.

And the cracks are showing all over the place right now. And so tonight I actually wanted to

start in one of the places where the cracks are the biggest and most obvious. And that's the economy. Where Trump's on

again, off again tariffs have everyone from conservative Republicans to Wall Street, billionaires,

to even rural farmers, saying, what the world is that guy doing? And we were seeing that sentiment very clearly in the polls, too.

I mean, in a new CBSUGov poll that was released just yesterday, a majority of Americans said the

economy is getting worse. And a growing number of Americans say Trump's policies are making

them financially worse off. You can see the chart on the screen

right now, and you can see it shows a seven-point jump on that question from just last month.

The majority of Americans are also against Trump's tariff and trade policy. But the news gets

even worse for Trump. Get a little of this. When the people in this poll were asked, who would benefit most

from Trump's tariffs, three quarters of Americans said, they're wealthy. And 71% said,

large corporations. I think everybody knows how popular the wealthy and large corporations are.

Not very popular at all. Just imagine how well it's going to stit with the majority of Americans when Congress returns

in May, just in a couple weeks, and focuses all their time on cutting taxes for the wealthy

and large corporations, which is what they're going to do.
