'Back off of stupid': Ex-RNC chair warns Trump will wreck economy with 'bully' threats
Raw StoryMSNBC's Michael Steele laughed at Donald Trump's tariff threats after Canada's prime minister Justin Trudeau flew to Florida to ask the president-elect about the proposal himself. You've just got to draw the line with him but, you know, Canada has to figure out for itself, and he figured it would be smart to go down to Florida and spend time and hopefully not get Donald Trump to do the thing he's going to do anyway." The prime minister issued a statement afterward noting that tariffs would raise the cost of consumer goods, which Trump had promised to reduce during his campaign, but Trudeau said he had no reason to doubt the president-elect would carry through on his threat. So, you know, when you want to play the tariff game, there's going to be a price that the American people are going to pay and, you know, I guess Trudeau is trying to get ahead of that a little bit."
