President Trump is proposing a 25% tax on steel brought to the U.S., and a 10% tax on aluminum. The announcement sent the stock market into a tailspin. RNC Spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany says Americans should not be surprised by the move.

She added that the Democratic party is actually the one falling apart ever since it failed to put forward viable presidential candidates back in 2016.
