When did you start thinking about tariffs?
I started really thinking about them probably over the summer when Trump was campaigning and he loved talking about tariffs, particularly tariffs from China.
The word tariff, properly used, is a beautiful word, one of the most beautiful words I've ever heard.
It's music to my ears.
We're going to charge him.
I'm telling you right now, I'm putting a 200% tariff on, which means they're unsellable.
In other words, very simple.
If you screw us, we screw you.
Trump believes tariffs will bring jobs and manufacturing back to the U.S.
but American business owners are wondering what impact these tariffs could have on their bottom line.
Like Jason, I said there's a real chance here of tariffs going up and, yeah, we would be totally impacted.
So on election night, Jason nervously watched the returns at a friend's place.
It's election night in America.
Voters are having their say, your say, and the countdown is on to the very first.
Once it was clear to Jason that Donald Trump was on track to win, he knew he had to do something Right then.
What did you do?
I started messaging my suppliers.
We got a short timeline here.
