Former college football head coach Tommy Tuberville is still campaigning to promote President Donald Trump’s tariff policy amid heavy backlash from citizens. The Alabama senator belives strongly that the tariffs will be a vehicle to bring jobs back to the United States.
However, prices are goods and services are surging at a time when many people are being laid off in the public and private sectors as Trump’s administration makes cuts with the DOGE program. Tuberville recently compared the situation to football, saying, “no pain, no gain.”
Tommy Tuberville defends Donald Trump’s tariffs
During an appearance Sunday on WABC 77’s “The Cats Roundtable,” Tuberville argued that Trump’s tariffs were the “only shot” the US had to get “our country back.”
“President Trump walked into a hornet’s nest: I know people are complaining about these tariffs right now, but ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you something, this is the only shot we got to get our country back,” Tuberville said via transcription from Eric Mack of Newsmax. “We can’t raise taxes on the American people. We’re $37 trillion in debt. We’ve got to get manufacturing back to this country.
“We have 10 million open jobs that need to be fill, and we need more workers, people to get off their butts, get away from welfare, get away from food stamps. These young kids sitting at home not doing anything. Time to go to work, or we’re going to lose our country.”
Keep your fingers crossed!
Tuberville suggested people needed to keep their “fingers cross” with Trump trying as hard as he is to fix problems in the federal government.
“Start cutting our debt with these tariffs, we’ve got a chance, anything else is not going to work,” the former head coach of Auburn, Texas Tech, and Cincinnati said. “Keep your fingers cross with President Trump. He’s trying hard. He’s got a good team around him. Let’s pull for him, and let’s pull for our country.”
