Trump's answer: "I can't guarantee anything. I can't guarantee tomorrow." Meyers riffs on the line with a Beatles-era bit.

You are now proposing tariffs against the United States, three biggest trading partners. Economists of all stripes say that ultimately consumers pay the price of tariffs. I don't believe you. Can you guarantee American families won't pay more? I can't guarantee anything. I can't guarantee tomorrow. Wait, what? You're supposed to be the president. You sound like George Harrison at a press conference in 1968. Tomorrow isn't guaranteed our body is merely a vessel in a one -day return to earth. Ari Krishna, Ari Krishna. Anything to add Ringo? Well, we have enough money for two apples. I had a bit of one bucket of ruin. We're gonna make it, we're gonna make it.
