President Trump put America First into action with his tariff policy.
Then all hell broke loose.
And Donald Trump revealed the shocking phone calls he’s received from world leaders.
President Trump’s sweeping tariff proposals blew up the liberal world order that imposed so-called “free” trade on America and other nations for the last 35 years.
Beginning with the disastrous 1993 NAFTA agreement, globalists began using trade deals to offshore American manufacturing jobs to countries like Communist China, Mexico, and Vietnam.
These deals provided cheap foreign goods for Americans, but also ripped away their jobs.
Stocks plunged in the wake of the tariffs.
But President Trump argued there would be some short-term pain that would pay off when countries cut deals that addressed structural trade imbalances and companies began moving their factories back to the United States.
In a speech at a National Republican Campaign Committee fundraiser, Trump said the tariffs were already bringing in money to help pay down the debt.
“And I think we’re going to do much better than that this time, because this time I’m doing what I want to do with respect to the tariffs. I think we’re going to do much better. And just remember the numbers when you get up to 2 billion a day, 2 billion a day, they’re saying, sir, can’t be that, can it?” Trump stated.
Trump – who takes great pride in his skills as a negotiator – boasted that this was the biggest deal of his life.
“I said, yeah, I can. It’s the biggest, the biggest transaction ever made. This is bigger than any deal,” Trump continued.
Trump bragged about how America held all the cards in these negotiations, and foreign leaders were begging him to remove the tariffs by offering up concession after concession.
“You guys, some of you work for companies, your companies are peanuts. I don’t care how big they are compared to, this is the largest transaction in the history of our country. And don’t let some of these politicians go around saying, you know, because I’m telling you, these countries are calling us up, kissing my ass.” Trump declared. “They are, they are dying to make a deal. Please, please, sir, make a deal. I’ll do anything.”
Trump took a shot at RINOs like Nebraska Congressman Don Bacon, who wanted to strip his tariff authority away by asking the audience if members of Congress should really be telling him how to negotiate.
“I’ll do anything, sir. And then I’ll see some rebel Republican, you know, some guy that wants to grandstand, say, I think the Congress should take over negotiations. Let me tell you, you don’t negotiate like I negotiate,” Trump declared.
The following day Fox Business reporter Charles Gasparino dropped the scoop that the White House planned to announce the first round of countries to enter formal trade negotiations with the White House.
“People close to the Trump White House say you can expect an announcement of some sort about formal negotiations over trade and tariffs with Japan, Vietnam, and possibly the UK as early as today. I’m not sure how much this moves the needle if it does go down (I always hedge with Trump who is unpredictable and these are inherently unpredictable times). Japan and Vietnam were already moving in this direction; UK is a long-time trading partner. But it’s better than the alternative. And it does change the market narrative of doom and gloom,” Gasparino wrote on X.
