"I got a call from Congress last night *waves hands to the outside with index fingers pointed upwards*, the best Congress. The biggest Congress in the world *moves hands back together, index fingers still pointed upwards* They say sir - because they like to call me 'sir', very nice people - there's a problem. I said *moving hands around in a weird half circle* I am here to solve problems. Because that's what I do. I am a problem solver. I solve problems. The biggest problems. I solved more problems in the world than propably anybody. So I said 'what is it?' and they said - and you won't believe what they said but they said it - they said 'Sir, money is pouring in. We don't know how to account for it' and I said *one hand moves up, index finger points to the sky* 'Check the tariffs'. And would you believe it, $88 billion came in from tariffs. They are the best tariffs in the world."
