The Democrats are at full froth daily, so they missed this crucial part regarding why Trump’s tariff agenda is a bit surprising: the man is precisely enacting what he promised. Throughout the 2024 election, the president said that he would return American wealth and end the great exodus of dollars that has gutted America’s working class. The elites and the rich have lost mountains of cash as markets are resetting—so much for Trump pushing policies that benefit the wealthy. Trump is doing, frankly, what Senator Bernie Sanders wanted to do back in 2019. So, what’s the problem?
It's time to stand fast. The market sell-off is being induced for two reasons: one, this was going to happen, tariffs or not, as the unnecessary spending under Biden is over. Second, the elites and the globalist cabal stand to lose the gravy train if Trump succeeds. They’re betting against the American worker, an insane wager, and hope to scare the nation into placing pressure on Congress to push back on the tariffs. Trump has no prospect of election on the horizon, so it’s balls to the wall on everything.
Douglas Murray notes that Trump's tariffs are shocking because he followed through on his word:

Douglas Murray: "The really interesting thing about the tariffs is that they're generally shocked because a president is doing something he said he would do.

“Shark Tank’s” Kevin O’Leary had a great lecture about business and noted that successful people can distinguish signal from noise. The signal is the mandate, and noise is everything else. O’Leary spoke about developing educational software for Steve Jobs, notably “The Oregon Trail,” where a new version was in development for the next quarter. It would cost millions, but someone suggested doing a market research study of 110,000 schools, gauging teacher feedback on some features. Jobs blew a gasket, as he often did when he disagreed with his employees, which was frequently, to which he told O’Leary’s team they—the teachers (or customers)—don’t know what they want until I tell them. When O’Leary pushed back, Jobs asked if we were dominating, making money, and increasing market share? The answer was “yes” to all three, so why are we wasting time with a market research poll—they’re developing a new version; that’s the sign.
“Shut up and let’s just stay focused,” Jobs said to O’Leary.
The “Shark Tank” co-host said this was 85 percent signal; doesn’t care about your opinion, and is laser-focused on the objective and creating results. He added that Elon Musk is a 100 percent signal: the Tesla CEO will walk away from any meeting or conversation if he feels the discussion isn’t progressing toward his goals.
Is that Trump with tariffs? We’ll see. He’s committed to returning high-skill American manufacturing jobs to America. More than two-thirds of the country wants it, which puts the Wall Street artificial shock syndrome into perspective. The elites don’t like this; instead, they are hooked on mainlining unfettered free trade that’s become so unhinged that voters from the Democratic and Republican parties now hold more protectionist views on trade. That was exposed during the 2016 election, where Hillary Clinton had to do some serious retconning to that effect.
The de-industrialization and the “world is flat” globalist cadre allowed our working class to be cannibalized. Millions of jobs went overseas, while the ones that remained stateside were gobbled up, thanks to illegal immigration. Business conservatives love their slave labor, so there are enemies everywhere in this fight.
Stay focused. Stand fast. Let’s make American manufacturing great again.
