He’s been saying it for almost 40 years…
A clip of a 1980s Donald Trump talking to Oprah Winfrey went viral this week for its relevance to President Trump’s recent actions on tariffs.
In the clip, Trump tells the talk show host that he’d “make our allies pay their fair share” if he had any control over the matter.
“We’re a debtor nation. Something is going to happen over the next number of years with this country because you can’t keep losing $200 billion, and yet we let Japan come in and dump everything right into our markets — it’s not free trade,” Trump said. “If you go to Japan right now and try to sell something, it’s impossible. They don’t have laws against it; they just make it impossible.”
