00:00Trump claims Dems messed up big time, made one mistake.

00:05Some may view it as underestimating President Donald Trump's authority,

00:09but the president is saying it is one mistake.

00:12That mistake is on the part of Democrats regarding the ongoing government shutdown.

00:17I think they could just stay out forever.

00:19I mean, to be honest with you, Trump said to Fox News' Maria Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures.

00:25Trump stated that Democrats' mistake allows him to cut unwanted Democrat programs permanently,

00:30including giveaways and welfare, because their oversight gave him the leverage.

00:34Bartiromo asked Trump about the upcoming No Kings rallies.

00:38Some speculate the government shutdown is linked to the rally,

00:41implying a delayed tactic around his portrayal as a king.

00:44I'm not a king, Trump responded.

00:47Chuck Schumer uses it as leverage against Trump.

00:50Well, Chuck is, you know, at the end of the line.

00:53He's being beaten by everybody that they poll against him, Trump said.

00:57And you know what he did is he did the right thing a couple of years ago on something like this.

01:02And he got hurt by his party.

01:04We're cutting a $20 billion project Schumer fought for 15 years to get,

01:09and I'm cutting the project, Trump continued.

01:12That project is the gateway project for a new train tunnel under the Hudson River,

01:16connecting New Jersey and New York.

01:18During the shutdown, Trump froze billions for the tunnel and New York subway extension.

01:23Trump then turned to trade with China.

01:25He wrote on Truth Social about China's aggressive trade stance,

01:29announcing export controls on almost all products starting November 1, 2025.

01:35In response, the U.S. will impose a 100% tariff on China, exceeding current tariffs.

01:41This decision is specific to the U.S. and stems from China's unprecedented measures,

01:46potentially enacted sooner if China's actions change.

01:49The Peterson Institute for International Economics reports the average U.S. tariffs on Chinese exports

01:55is now 57.6%, rising to approximately 157%.

02:02Bartiromo asked Trump if that rate could last.

02:05It's not sustainable, but that's what the number is.

02:08It's probably not, you know, it could stand.

02:11But they forced me to do that, Trump said.

02:15We'll see what happens with China.

02:17I've always had a great relationship with Chinese President Xi Jinping, as you know.

02:21But they are always looking for an edge, Trump continued.

02:24Trump noted that he will meet President Xi in South Korea in a couple of weeks.
