America is finally seeing some common sense applied to its trade policies, and we have President Trump to thank for that. When he says he used common sense to calculate tariffs, he’s doing something radical—putting America first. For too long, this country has been held hostage by so-called “allies” draining our economy with one-sided deals. It’s high time someone stood up and slapped down these lopsided arrangements.
Now, you might hear the usual cries from the liberal elites that tariffs will hurt international relations or the economy. These are the same folks who have no problem seeing American jobs shipped overseas. They shrug their shoulders while deficits balloon and American factories close. President Trump is not asking for the world. He’s simply demanding fair deals. And in doing so, he’s standing up against the globalist agenda that seeks to weaken our nation at every turn.
Countries whining about these tariffs need to face the facts. For years, they’ve been leeching off the American economy without giving back. President Trump’s tariffs force these nation-states to rethink their skewed trade practices. This isn’t just about money—it’s about respect. America has been the world’s piggy bank for too long, and it’s high time we put our foot down.
Some might say that taking such a bold stance is risky, but it’s exactly what’s needed to balance the scales. If other countries want access to our markets, they need to come to the table ready to negotiate terms that are mutually beneficial—not just one-sided. Let the whiners whine and the critics complain. America shouldn’t roll over at every threat or claim of economic alarmism perpetrated by those who would rather see us go down than stand tall.
President Trump has thrown down the gauntlet. And the question remains: Do we want leaders who will stand up for our interests or those who will apologetically bow to foreign powers? The answer should be clear to every patriot who understands that America’s greatness is non-negotiable.
