Raw Story - 'League of its own': Nicolle Wallace pinpoints Trump comment showing he's way out of touch

MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace began her Friday episode of "Deadline White House" discussing President Donald Trump's latest tease on tariffs from China.
"There are twists and turns today in the melodrama that is Donald Trump's handling of the U.S. economy," she said.
Trump has imposed a tariff on China at 145%, but on Friday, he suggested around 80% "seems right," as Reuters reported.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and chief trade negotiator Jamieson Greer will meet with Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng in Geneva for the negotiations on Saturday, Wallace noted.
"All of that — layoffs, bankruptcy, the prospect of empty shelves — that is what people here in the real world are worried about," Wallace continued, citing economists who spoke to the New York Times.
