Sean Strickland has expressed his thoughts on Tucker Carlson’s view on wealth distribution in the United States. Strickland asserted that the Donald Trump administration will lay bare the alleged wealth disparity among American citizens.

Since taking office as the 47th U.S. President, Trump implemented various policy changes, including an increase in tariffs. According to the 78-year-old, the move is intended to improve the economy and protect jobs.

In a recent interview with Carlson on his YouTube channel, former U.S. trade representative Robert Lighthizer briefly detailed how the new tariff programs imposed by Trump are going to stabilize the economy. According to Lighthizer, the rich have become more wealthy, while the poor have become poorer.

''The distribution of wealth in America has gone just like this [indicating a vast difference]...now what we have for the first time in American history, the top 1% has more wealth than the middle 60% it's never happened before. We find for the first time starting in 2000, we find that American children can no longer expect to live longer than and be richer than their parents that was what we all thought. These crises that I've talked about, this transfer of wealth...absolutely is why Donald Trump was elected president.''

In response, Strickland took to X and shared his take, writing:

''I have been saying this and I continue to say this after Trump Americans are going to wake up and realize how tilted the system is against them and the entire political left vs right landscape will change......''
