Kevin Hassett, Trump’s National Economic Director, sparked a wave of glee among Democrats on Tuesday after he went on CNBC and noted the possibility that an extension of the war in Iran could “hurt consumers.”

During an interview on Squawk Box, Hassett was asked by Andrew Ross Sorkin about the economic impacts of the war.

“When you math out the possibilities within your own group about the economy and this impact here, and you say it’s going to end sometime soon, what does that look like? Do you say 10 days is one version, 30 days is another, 60 days is another, or are you on a different timeline completely?” Ross Sorkin asked.

“Well, again, what we work off of is, first of all, what the president said, which is that it’s a four-to-six-week program, and we’re ahead of schedule. We are in the third week, and so then we could say, call that a base case. But of course, you know, I get paid to worry—it’s my job here in the White House,” Hassett replied, adding:

And then you think about, well, what if it’s a little slower? We don’t have much simulating to do if it is faster than that. But if it’s a little bit slower, what happens then? But the fact is that the U.S. economy is fundamentally sound. And if it were to be extended, it wouldn’t really disrupt the U.S. economy very much at all. It would hurt consumers, and we’d have to think about if that continued what we would have to do about that. But that’s really the least of our concerns right now, because we’re very confident that this thing is going ahead of schedule.

A short clip of Hassett’s answer quickly went viral online as Democrats had a field day.

“Hassett really said this out loud. On live television. It’s almost unbelievable until you remember they are both the dumbest and cruelest among us,” replied Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) to the clip.

House Minority Whip Katherine Clark (D-MA) added, “A Trump official just said that everyday Americans are the ‘last of [their] concerns right now.’ On national TV.”
