Bill Clinton on Trump and tariffs: I have known President Trump for a long time. We had a fairly friendly relationship 24 years ago. We would play golf. He kept saying, "We are the biggest, strongest and richest country in the world. Why don't we put a bunch of tariffs on everything else and stop paying taxes altogether? I said, "Well, because, Don" - he was then Donald, not Mr. President -. "Because these people don't just eat the rates. They just charge the people who buy the stuff, whatever it is. So we pay the rates. And he, just like now, didn't hear what he didn't want to hear.
