Wow!' MSNBC's Mika surprised after hearing Trump voters ripping his top economic policy

MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski was taken aback by the negative reactions of Donald Trump supporters who slammed his sweeping tariffs and expressed concern with the direction the economy seemed to be heading.

During his presidential campaign, Trump vowed to bring down prices for consumers "on Day One," yet the steep tariffs he imposed on the country's trade partners this month threaten to do the opposite.

Conservative pollster Sarah Longwell of The Bulwark played some of the voter reactions Monday on "Morning Joe."

One woman was heard lamenting, "It's been awful...Why I voted for Trump was for the prices to come down at the grocery store. Nothing's come down."

She added, "When it hurts now, it's hard to recover for someone like me. So, it really hits me in the gut."

Brzezinski reacted, "Wow. And these are Trump voters once again."

"I think the fundamental thing to understand, though, isn't even from this focus group," Longwell said. "It's from the hundreds of focus groups that I did going into this election. Really understanding that the number one thing that Donald Trump was hired to do by so many of these voters was lower prices."

Longwell said Trump's promise was why some Americans chose to overlook his "myriad flaws" to vote him into office.

"It goes to sort of the central offering of Donald Trump, which is that he is a businessman — this is how these voters think of him — and that he will do good things for the economy," Longwell said.

"So, to me, what is interesting is, when you see a lot of this polling come out showing that Trump's overall approval rating is actually higher than his approval rating on the economy," Longwell added. "Voters are starting to doubt that he is going to do the good things for the economy that he promised...We just listened to people talk over and over again about how they were struggling with grocery prices and with housing prices and with inflation. And, so, right now, what you're seeing is voters really starting to say, 'Is he going to focus on this at all? Is he going to do something about this?'"
