Markets are reeling from US President Donald Trump's tariff announcements, but the American leader is standing by his decisions, defending his policies and saying "sometimes you have to take medicine to fix something".

Namely, while Nintendo of America President Doug Bowser — no relation to Mario’s prime nemesis — and the Switch 2 developers would love to be showing off its capabilities and beautiful new games, they first have to contend with a divisive political landscape.

You’ll simply have to take the artist’s word for it that the declaration is written there.

He explained to the assembled press pool that everyone will have to "take our medicine," but insisted that his tariffs won't be inflationary because his tariffs on China didn't cause inflation when he was president the first time.

But at some point, you have to wonder if self-preservation may start to look a little different to the other Republicans if the country is mired in recession and the federal government has been so devastated that it can't respond.
