Past simple

Well, you said something a couple weeks ago that that struck me.

Future simple

You said concerning the tariffs, which economists say are going to raise prices, you said quote, hang tough.

Is that what Americans should expect some hard times?

I've said that during my campaign, look, we want a campaign by a lot, we want all seven swing states.

Tremendous campaign, I said all these things doing my campaign, uh, I said you're going to have a transition period.

Ripped off by every country all over the world.

Gasoline is down, groceries are down, egg prices are down.

Uh, many things are down just about everything.

You know, you don't have the drop in in fuel and energy and oil like we did.

I took it from maybe $3.20, maybe more than that.

When you have that kind of a drop, you're not going to have inflation.

We still have 145% tariffs on China, your Treasury Secretary said we basically have an embargo on China.

Look, you're trying to say something's going to happen, Jerry.

Will raise prices on everything from electronics to clothing, to building houses.

You don't know whether or not China is going to eat it.

But at 145, they basically can't do much business with the United States.

And they were making from us a trillion dollars a year.

They were ripping us off like nobody's ever ripped us off.

And by the way, we have other countries that were just as bad.

Uh, if you look at the European Union, it was terrible what they've done to us.

Every country, almost every country in the world was ripping us off.
