President Trump has once again demonstrated his unparalleled confidence in American resilience, even as the stock market took a nosedive that would make an Olympic diver envious. After the Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged more than 1,600 points due to his newly announced tariffs—10% on imports, with hefty penalties for products from economics heavyweights like China and the European Union—the left was quick to panic. But the man himself insists that all is going splendidly.
Amidst the chaos, Trump strictly maintained that these economic hiccups were merely a precursor to larger successes. As any good entrepreneur knows, sometimes you need a shock to wake the patient before extraordinary growth can happen. He likened the U.S. economy to a sick patient undergoing surgery, suggesting that the market’s dramatic response was simply part of a necessary healing process. What better way to heal than a little financial bloodletting?

The markets might not have felt too rosy at the moment, but Trump painted a picture of future prosperity as colorful as a Florida sunset. He confidently claimed that trillions of dollars are on the brink of pouring into the U.S. from companies eager to relocate their manufacturing stateside. Who wouldn’t want to avoid those tariffs? It appears that a whole host of international companies are ready to heed the clarion call of “Made in America”—a charm offensive that would make even Cupid take notes.
In a recent Air Force One chit-chat with reporters, Trump revealed his willingness to negotiate further using tariffs as leverage. After all, if other countries are unwilling to play fair, why should America shoulder the burden alone? No more letting nations take advantage of American ingenuity and resources. This, he argues, is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to rewrite the economic rules—one tariff at a time.
While the mainstream media eagerly spins panic-inducing narratives of market doom, the president remains bullish on his approach. For him, the commitment to recalibrating trade relationships and demanding fairness is just the beginning. As Trump makes his way to a Saudi-backed golf tournament shortly after these discussions, it appears he’s got more than just business on his mind. This administration knows that true leadership comes with a sense of humor and an unyielding belief in the future. Who needs therapy when you have golf clubs?
