People Have A LOT To Say About The Secretary Of Commerce's Latest Statement On Tariffs, And It's Brutal [View all]
"This Rich Scumbag Is Completely Disassociated With The Average American Experience"If you didn't know, President Donald Trump (a billionaire) appointed Howard Lutnick (another billionaire) to be Secretary of the Department of Commerce, aka his head advisor on all things economics. So far, Lutnick has had numerous instances of being "out of touch" with the experiences of everyday Americans.
Most recently, Secretary Lutnick has gone viral for his statements at an Axios event, where he claimed that "no pain" has been felt from Trump's tariffs. He then asked for the live audience's reassurance of that claim, but it seriously backfired.
"You go to the store now, you feeling the pain of tariffs?" Lutnick asked the live audience.
"No," he said, answering his own question. "Why not? Because there is no pain."
