'Trump, the clean-up man': Ingraham says president 'wisely using tariffs' to 'punish China'
In her "Ingraham Angle" monologue on Monday, Laura Ingraham said President Trump is effectively the "clean-up man" for past presidents who may have been too wary to take a hard line against China on trade policy.
Ingraham noted that the Chinese government "retaliated" against Trump's 25 percent increase on tariffs on some Chinese goods by threatening to hike tariffs on 5,000 U.S. products.
She dismissed criticisms from some Democrats and members of the media who panned Trump's decision.
"Presidents since George Washington have recognized the power and importance of tariffs to protect American interests," she said. "Facing China's gross trade abuses... Trump is wisely using tariffs to punish China for bad behavior."
She continued, "With Trump in the White House, China knows that the days of exploiting the American market with impunity are over."
