'I don't care!' Conservative snaps at MSNBC host with demand for 1,000% tariffs on China

A clearly frustrated Kevin O'Leary took out his anger on MSNBC host José Díaz-Balart on Thursday morning with his complaints that Donald Trump's tariff on China is not near enough to make up for his own business losses.

Multi-millionaire O'Leary, a CNBC contributor who also appears on Shark Tank, claimed there is an uneven playing for him when trying to compete with the Chinese and that he doesn't "care" about market "volatility" created by massive tariff costs.

Noting that he just testified before Congress as Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs, now on pause, have caused worldwide economic chaos, O'Leary, a Canadian was on the verge of shouting as he explained the unfairness of it all.

"This narrative with China is not just about tariffs," he began. "Since China joined the WTO [World Trade Organization] in 2020, or it's actually 2000, they have not abided by the rules in any single year. There is no way you can figure out or settle a trade dispute with them although they said they'd agree to do that, they never did."

"They have been constantly stealing American IP [intellectual property], including many from my companies and we have not been able to litigate there, there is no resolution available to us," he elaborated. "They are using our financial markets."

"I was testifying yesterday at the China hearings in Washington, and I said, I've had enough and I expect you, lawmakers and the administration to finally go to task and settle this once and for all," he loudly exclaimed. "Because I don't care if it's 1,000 percent tariffs. They have to come to the table now and not just settle this trade war, they need to settle all of this unbalanced situation."

After stating, "I would like this thing worked out. I don't care about the volatility, I don't care if Trump ratchets it up 25 percent a day," the MSNBC host pressed him with, "What do you mean you don't care about volatility? If volatility has a direct impact on us as consumers ––."

"Because we have to fix this problem once and for all," O'Leary snapped at Díaz-Balart. "It's killing us! It's killing small business in America. It's killing large businesses, all the IP these guys steal."

'Art of the panic attack': Conservative buries Trump defenders' scramble after flip-flop

Supporters of Donald Trump who spent over a week defending the president's sweeping tariff plans only to suffer whiplash after he did a 180 on Wednesday were ridiculed by a conservative columnist on MSNBC on Thursday morning.

During an appearance on "Morning Joe," Matt Lewis, a contributor to The Hill, laughed off attempts to spin the about-face –– a "pause" of ninety days –– as a planned move that demonstrates Trump's brilliance.

Speaking with host Jonathan Lemire, Lewis jumped right into it by explaining, "Look, Congress should be in charge of tariffs. And if they were to regain that power, then this could be done more strategically and less capriciously and that's what we saw."

"Look what happened yesterday, it's not," he continued before changing direction and joking "The Trump's defenders want to say this part of the art of the deal. It's the art of the panic attack."

"What we are seeing is, if you want stability, this ain't it, right?" he elaborated. "And I think that's part of why we may be seeing that kind of dead cat bounce today where the markets aren't quite returning. Part of it, I think, is that we still are going to have high tariffs. We're still going to have a bigger trade war with China."

"But look, I mean, just a week ago Donald Trump called it 'Liberation Day.' He was, you know, slapping on tariffs like he's throwing around confetti at a New Year's Eve party. And then yesterday he's backpedaling like a unicyclist on black ice. I mean it's whiplash. It's whiplash trying to follow this around," he quipped.

As for Trump's biggest supporters, he added, "So these Republicans are coming up with excuses and I went back, you know, I went back and dug into some of them and they're going to have to sort of reinvent what the excuse is. But last week they were saying how brilliant. That this was because tariffs are manly."
