BILL O’REILLY: “TRUMP HAS BEEN VERY CLEAR ABOUT WHERE HE STANDS…”

Video transcript 3:54

The overall philosophy of President Trump is that the USA is getting hosed in trade deals all over the world. Now, if you analyze the Biden administration for four years, it was only in the last few months that the Biden people started to impose or raise tariffs. For four years, we just got murdered in trade imbalances everywhere. And it was business as usual. The foreign countries would charge us more for our goods than we would charge them. So Trump, he didn't look, we're not gonna do this anymore. It's that simple. And Trump has been very clear about where he stands. Roll it. - Look, our country's been ripped off by everybody. That stops now. I had it stopped in my first term. And we're gonna really stop it now because this has been very unfair. Our country from an economic standpoint and a financial standpoint and a trade standpoint has been absolutely ripped off by almost every country in the world. Canada, Mexico, and then you just go right down the line. - China, EU, on and on. So countries abroad don't like this at all. Don't understand that because China in particular, they make a lot of cheap stuff. Hats and shirts and clothing and on and on and on and on. And the labor in the communist nation of China is way, way less than it is here. So now Trump's trying to make more of a balance. Let me give you a few facts. Parrots are paid by the companies, not by governments. So you wanna send a Ford Bronco to Germany, okay? Put it on the ship, it goes over. Once it reaches Hamburg, then the German customs people slap a tariff on it, whatever they want. And Ford has to pay that, okay? Not the US government. But it makes the Bronco cost more in Dusseldorf than a German car. So the Germans buy fewer American cars. Tell it works. The United States historically has had lower tariffs than the EU and China and Canada and Mexico. Those countries and others wanna protect certain products. So Canada, for example, big on dairy. They wanna ship their dairy down here. They're in a big high tariff. So that's how it works, okay? And Trump is going, look, you need to bring your tariffs down so we can sell more Fords and Dusseldorf. If you don't, we're gonna slap the same tariff on your Mercedes BMWs here. It's gonna jack the cost up if you want them, okay? So once you have this, the other countries don't like it because that hurts their businesses. Mercedes is gonna sell fewer cars here. Then you add on labor. So Apple moves a huge amount of manufacturing over to China 'cause the Chinese people work over $3 a day. And now Trump said to Apple, hey, you better knock it off. And Apple's putting $500 billion back into the US economy. That's a big win for Trump. But it doesn't show up in the stock market.
