Ever since our 'day of liberation,' our pals on the Left, in the Democratic Party, in the media, and even some on the Right have been pulling their hair out claiming that Trump is deliberately tanking our economy.
About that ...
Election Wizard (@ElectionWiz) ~ BREAKING: U.S. NATIONAL ECONOMIC COUNCIL DIRECTOR KEVIN HASSETT SAYS MORE THAN 50 COUNTRIES HAVE REACHED OUT TO WHITE HOUSE TO BEGIN TRADE NEGOTIATIONS
Trump's tariffs were never about starting and maintaining a worldwide trade war out of spite. They are all about forcing other countries to start negotiating reciprocal and fair trade practices ... just like Nancy Pelosi highlighted back in 1996!
MAZE (@mazemoore) ~ Incredible clip from 1996. Nancy Pelosi on tariffs and the trade deficit with China.
"On this day, your member of Congress could have drawn the line to say to the President of the United States, do something about this US-China trade relationship that is a job loser for the United States."
Thirty years later and our annual trade deficit is now approximately $300 billion annually with China. Our politicians did nothing to stop this. They sold out America.
Now politicians, including Pelosi, are saying that not only China, but all countries should be able to tariff us and we shouldn't respond in kind.

Of course, in Piglosi's defense, this was 1996 - before alcohol ate her liver and her Marxist-fueled Trump Derangement Syndrome destroyed her mind and her soul. Poor Miss Piggy!
But THE EXPERTS have told us tariffs are bad, that Trump is bad, and that everything will be bad because REEEEEE.
Tariffs are tools, just like firearms ... to be carefully used, with a healthy dose of respect for the damage they can cause, to ultimately de-escalate and subdue dangerous situations.
How could this be? The 'experts' were wrong, again? SAY IT AIN'T SO.
Huh. And here we thought the 'experts' were the smartest people in the room. WE ARE SO KIDDING.
Airborne (@abnheel) ~ As was expected, everyone that lost their minds about tariffs are the same people who happily destroyed the economy due to covid. Kindly tell them all to f^ck off - professionals are at work this time.
Misha Turtle Island TV: X Society Xperience (@MishaTurtleX) ~ Either make a deal or get your economy wrecked.
In a way, this feels like Trump is calling their bluff.
Mirthful Moments (@moment_mirthful) ~ President Trump has been talking about other countries, "beating the hell out of us," over free trade since the 80s. No one ever listened to him. Now, he has the power to even the playing field. Let's go! Thank you, President Trump!

Arlin (@Arlin4US) ~ One by one, we will settle the trade negotiations and all of them will be better for America.
The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted. ~ D.H. Lawrence
