STEPHEN MOORE (GUEST): Nobody in the media will give Trump, you know, a fair hearing here. It looks like he's getting these deals coming in, and that is good for America. In fact, frankly, it's good for some of these other countries -- to American farmers and American manufacturing products and our technology products.
So it looks to me, Sean, like this is kind of going according to plan. Short term pain, no question about it. The market took a big hit. But now all of a sudden, all these countries are pounding on Trump's door, "Please, you know, give us a deal here." And, that's what Trump does. And by the way, he campaigned on this. He told us he was going to do this.
SEAN HANNITY (HOST): Yeah, and all of this, I think, is predictable, which is why I've not gotten at all worked up about it because I think it's going to resolve itself probably in short order. The one maybe unanticipated benefit that I don't think gets a lot of play is in the lead up to the announcement of the tariffs by the president, they were over $8 trillion in commitments and investment and infrastructure in our country.
