00:00Mr. President, Wall Street analysts have coined a new term called the taco trade.
00:04They're saying Trump always chickens out on your tariff threats, and that's why markets are higher this week.
00:09What's your response to that?
00:11I kick out?
00:12Chicken out.
00:13Oh, isn't that not chicken out? I've never heard that.
00:16You mean because I reduced China from 145% that I set down to 100 and then down to another number?
00:23And I said, yeah, I gave the European Union a 50% tax tariff, and they called up and they said, please, let's meet right now.
00:34Please, let's meet right now.
00:36And I said, okay, I'll give you till July 9th.
00:39I actually asked them, I said, what's the date?
00:42Because they weren't willing to meet.
00:43And after I did what I did, they said, we'll meet any time you want.
00:48And we have an end date of July 9th.
00:51You call that chickening out?
00:53Because we have, six months ago, this country was stone cold dead.
00:58We had a dead country.
00:59We had a country people didn't think it was going to survive, and you ask a nasty question like that.
01:04It's called negotiation.
01:06You set a number, but I knew that.
01:09But don't ever say what you said.
01:11That's a nasty question.
01:12Go ahead.
01:12To me, that's the nastiest question.
01:21What's the hope?
