I can't understand why you'd choose a career of public service to do this -- to rip away the healthcare & food assistance of working & middle class Americans. Is that really what you came here to do?"

Kander: This is a trade war of choice to support Trump's ego, I guess. Gupta: And his bank account. He's leveraging the pressure of tariffs to get favorable private deals for the Trump enterprise... Kander: What an argument! You have to be able to afford less so that the President can get richer.
