Rep. Brian Mast (R-FL) became the latest Republican lawmaker to face furious questioning from his constituents over President Donald Trump's economic policies during a town hall held at the Calvary Church in Jupiter — and only inflamed their wrath as he tried to justify Trump's tariff regime.

"As a retiree, I just saw 20 percent of my net worth fall as a result of tariff-on, tariff-off, tariff-on, tariff off," said the man. "You know, stocks go up and down, that's fine, we deal with that, but these huge takes on things are driving all of us crazy. All of the experts are struggling with knowing where is this going? We know that tariffs generally bring more costs to us ... so please, can Congress do someting about the volatility?"

At this point, the audience roared its approval and began applauding, with some people shouting, "Stand up to Trump!"
