Audie Cornish wants Trump's tariffs cast in the most negative possible light.

A bit later, when panelist Kevin Frey [a Spectrum News reporter] launched an earnest, factual description of the effects of tariffs, Cornish eventually cut him off, saying:

"We just got a deep dive into commodities from you, which, you know, I like it. You're bringing some good energy this morning. But the farmer gave us a very, like—people understand what tariffs are now, right?"

And, yes, using the analogy of a pissing match is fairly accurate, if you mean DJT is willing to piss as far as the other countries, as well as stop when they stop.
