If you or me go to the gas station to fill up our car and it costs us much more than we expected, it will zap our discretionary income. We won't have the extra money to buy that washing machine or new winter coat-all big ticket items that are important to economic growth.

Initially, he said if China won't stop taking advantage of us and manipulating their currency, then I will put tariffs in place.
