While former President Donald Trump has been known for wavering policies and his infamous “concepts of a plan," regarding healthcare, there’s one thing he’s set on: tariffs.

On the latest episode of Capitol Gains, Michael Medved, host of The Michael Medved Show, joins Yahoo Finance’s Rachelle Akuffo, Washington Correspondent Ben Werschkul, and senior columnist Rick Newman to discuss Donald Trump’s tariffs and why his supporters and economists aren’t pushing back on misinformation about their potential effects on the economy as well as everyday Americans.

“Generally a Republican brand means you’re more fiscally responsible,” says Medved regarding the economy. However he counters that according to new analysis from The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, “Trump would more than double the amount added to the national debt with his [economic] changes, including the tariffs.”

Newman even says, “According to polls, half of America doesn’t think that Trump’s tariffs would be a tax on them.” It would be.

So why aren’t more people pushing the presidential candidate on the matter? “Why not the people in Washington,” Werschkul asks. Medved thinks there’s a lack of push-back because the economic policy makers don't believe Trump would ever be able to get these policies through Congress.
