..........Trump then repeated a story about finding billions of dollars “on the tariff shelf.”

“We’re finding, the other day, it was very interesting — they found $31 billion,” Trump said.

They said, “Sir,” I said, “You mean positively, right?” They said, “Yeah, 31 more than we knew. We didn’t know where it came from.” I said, “Check the tariff shelf.” They came back the following morning, they said, “You’re right sir, it came from the tariffs. We’ve never seen anything like this.”

So what we’re going to be doing is taking some money from all of the tariff money that we’re taking and we’re going to be distributing it to all of our farmers, until the tariffs kick in to their benefit. which, ultimately, the farmers are going to be making a fortune. But it’s a process that ultimately has to kick in.
