Trump Questions His Own Tariffs: A Memorable Press Conference.

President Trump said he wasn't sure if he really put tariffs on Mexico and Canada. He seemed to forget that he had just placed those tariffs a few days ago. He also seemed surprised that Canada was still its own country, even though it has always been.

Reporters asked President Trump if he would remove the tariffs, but he didn't give a clear answer. Instead, he asked if he had even placed tariffs in the first place, saying he didn't think he did.

The reporters tried to show President Trump proof that he had put the tariffs in place. But President Trump didn't want to listen and told them to stop making things up.

He then accused the reporters of lying to the American people and being afraid of the truth. He said they wouldn't get anywhere with their questions because no one believes them.

President Trump's behavior in this situation was very confusing. He seemed to be denying something that had actually happened and then got upset with reporters for pointing that out.
