Chris Matthews, reacting to President Trump's first address to Congress, said economic nationalism is Trump's winning ticket."



"I think this line of economic nationalism works," MSNBC host Chris Matthews remarked. "I think -- left, right and center -- I think people have a sense of righteous indignation, right or wrong, we've been screwed worldwide. We must restart the engine of the American economy, make it easier for companies to do business in the United States and much harder for companies to leave."



"I thought it was a winner politically," Matthews said. "I think it's probably the reason he was elected in Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Ohio. It is winning the ticket. Economic nationalism."
