EU’s Protectionist Policies Have Been in Place Long Before Trump

In March of 2025, President Donald Trump imposed a 25% tariff on imports of steel, aluminum, automobiles, and certain automobile parts. European Union (E.U.) members, except Hungary, announced retaliatory tariffs of 10% to 25% on specific U.S. imports. On April 2, Trump proclaimed, “Liberation Day” and added a global baseline tariff of 10%, plus customized … Read more

Liberation or Obliteration?

President Trump was elected in part because he promised to reduce prices and not drag the country into foreign wars.

Trump Turns Dems Into Free Traders

Don’t expect too much depth at the “watercooler, especially from your proglodyte coworkers. They’ve got their talking points. Hands off (something), Trump is wrecking the economy, free Palestine, and oligarchs. Not their oligarchs. And no one is allowed to “Free Palestine” from Hamas. And I guess all that waste, fraud, and abuse are the price … Read more

A Little DOGE Talk and Tariff History

It is very frustrating to see the protests, rallies, and news reports about President Trump and Elon Musk working hard to destroy our economy and democracy. All these activities are done by people ignorant of the facts or feeding an agenda. Either way, these people are pawns of the Left who are aiding and spreading … Read more

Putting America First After Decades of Exploitation

For far too long, America has been the world’s punching bag regarding trade. Foreign nations—some allies, some adversaries—have exploited our generosity, reaping profits while draining our industries, jobs, and national pride. However, under President Donald J. Trump, that era of weakness is over. With his bold tariff policies, Trump is fulfilling his promise to put … Read more

Inflation Is Repudiation

Did Donald Trump learn anything from watching Joe Biden economically suicide-bomb his own presidency? President Trump is decreeing new tariffs and issuing sweeping tariff threats on a weekly basis. Trump supporters believe the president is so wise that he can levy taxes that make imported goods far more expensive without skewering American consumers. But does … Read more

Stock Slide: What If It’s Withdrawal From Fed Money Addiction?

Democrats are actually happy to see the stock market drop. It’s the first real opportunity they’ve had to point to something that looks real that sounds good coming out of their mouths: tariffs, fear, prices, stock drop, Trump—end of the world. We told you so. You must first grasp this truth. The entire Democrat agenda … Read more

Sununu, Trump, And Tariffs

At least a few Granite Staters will be displeased. We are not rid of Chris Sununu. He’s still finding a way to get his face on television even though he’s not in elected office. Sure, he’s been subpoenaed for a wrongful arrest lawsuit, so we should expect to see some Sununuing around that, but why … Read more

Trump Already Having Impact On Issues Voters Elected Him To Fix

Americans voted to give President-elect Donald Trump a mandate to enact his campaign promises. Without even stepping foot in the Oval Office, he’s already delivering. In one of Trump’s closing rallies in North Carolina, he unveiled his promise to use tariffs as a vehicle to force offending countries, like Mexico, to stop the flow of illegal immigrants … Read more

Trump’s Latest Tariff Plan Just Replaces One Tax with Another

On Monday, Donald Trump floated the idea that he might seek to replace the federal income tax with federal taxes on imports—also known as tariffs.  This is potentially a good idea, but not for economic reasons. There is no economic reason why tariffs are any better or any worse than the income tax. A tariff, which is just a … Read more

Tariffs Are Like A Golf Handicap

There has been so much talk in the last few weeks, and it appears that there are only two schools of economics, and they have very different views on the impact on the economy. The ironic fact is that both parties use tariffs, including Biden/Harris, but the mainstream media only wants to go after Trump … Read more

Tariffs, Protectionism, and Why Borders Matter

As Democrats and Republicans both express support for tariffs, the economic implications of protectionist policies are once again at the forefront of public debate. Both parties differ on the size of their proposed tariffs, but the New York Times reports that “both Democrats and Republicans are expressing support for tariffs to protect American industry, reversing decades of … Read more
