2:25Now PlayingA visibly frustrated Trump took a shot at a reporter for asking a question about invoking a 1977 law to enact his sweeping tariffs. "Why didn't you invoke this law in your first term?" the reporter asked. Trump shot back, "In my first term, I was fighting lunatics like you who were trying to, do things, incorrectly and inappropriately to a president that was, duly elected." Trump took a final parting shot, calling out reporters for not covering "well" the "hundreds of billions of dollars in tariffs" the administration took in from China during his first term.
