Those are all distractions you people are obsessed with.
I will respond thoughtfully since you put some effort into expressing your thoughts.
His policy is to bring back manufacturing, and the best way is through tariffs.
No. You will never move low cost labor manufacturing back into a high cost labor country. Ever. Ever. Ever. I do this for a living. What you CAN do is move high tech high wage jobs into the US.
Trump is tariffing T-shirts and similar products. We will never ever have low enough wages and a large enough desperate population to produce T-shirts at scale. The work sucks and it pays low ($1-$3 per hour). Yet this is what Trump is hitting with Tariffs. That is not a strategy to move T-shirts to the US. That is a tax on consumers.
Biden passed the CHIPS bill which is/was making an impact on high tech manufacturing. You can move high pay high skill jobs to the US with a little support. Targeting semiconductors makes sense because chips are high-wage, high-tech, strategically essential, and create huge spillover benefits. Targeting low-wage industries like T-shirts would dump money into things the U.S. can never be cost-competitive in and that bring no strategic, economic, or national-security return.
Trump does not have a strategy here.
As well as fixing trade deals. So he’ll threaten high tariffs, to negotiate a good moderate tariff or new trade agreement that is beneficial to America.
We are the richest country in the world. People weren’t ripping us off. It’s called capitalism. I do that for a living too. A trade deficit is good. It means you are rich.
A trade deficit means other countries are investing in the US. Investing in:
- U.S. stocks
- U.S. bonds
- new factories
- U.S. real estate
- Treasury bills
- tech startups
I know this concept can be hard for Biden voters to comprehend, when you’re used to a braindead guy sitting in his basement all day doing nothing.
I know international trade and we can debate it all day. Only someone who doesn’t know international trade would think Trump was being effective at doing anything other than taxing American consumers or businesses.
President Trump already released the Epstein files, there was nothing in them.
That is factually untrue. We just got 20,000 pages of stuff from Epstein’s estate that WAS NOT released by the administration. Those came way after Trump/Bondi said there was nothing to release. That is factually untrue. There is still lots to be released.
I’m sure the evidence of all the clients was scrubbed over all those years, by Obama, by Biden, by the CIA…all to protect precious Israel. Otherwise Epstein isn’t much of a policy we voted on, other than of course to kick out pedo-enablers like Biden. President Trump’s FBI has been busting pedo rings like crazy. Never would had happened under “Pedo Pete” as his son used to cal him.
I am sure you’ve seen my list of 40 GOP leadership pedophiles from the last 4 years. If not I will provide you with the link. Your imaginary stuff doesn’t superseded real criminal pedos in the GOP.

His goal is to end the war in Ukraine, not constantly push to escalate it like Biden did. Unfortunately Zelensky is hell bent on getting as many Ukrainians killed before he finally gives up the war. President Trump should remove dictator Zelensky at this point.
This is just your feelings. Trump has come around to implementing the Biden doctrine. Trump originally said he could charm the end of the war with his great personality. He said Biden was weak and Trump is respected.
Fast forward to a year into his term and now Trump is pushing political isolation, economic sanctions, and support for Ukraine. All the shit he thought was weak by Biden. That is the only way this thing ends. If he kept it up from Biden it might be over by now.
As for “the wall”, it is being built.
No it is not. The most recent budget bill did not have billions for a wall. You can point to wall repair and minor structural adds that were authorized but this budget bill that cannot be fought by democrats did not have a big beautiful sea to sea wall in it - certainly not funded by Mexico.
And more importantly the Border Patrol has been enabled to do its actual job, when Biden wouldn’t allow them to. Remember the “we need a border bill passed” to enforce the law? That was a LIE by Biden and you lefties. President Trump has totally shutdown the once open border and now illegal immigration is near zero. But you of course can’t acknowledge that.
Trump is breaking the law. It takes a very long time to work through the courts but his policies are illegal. Anyone can do illegal shit. That isnt how we operate. Or it wasnt.
Plus ICE is deporting illegals at record rates. Illegals the left claimed were never here since the open border was a “conspiracy theory”. Yet now they cry for the foreign criminals, demanding their “due process” and to be left alone. So now suddenly they are admitting there are millions of illegals here thanks to Biden.
More emotion.
Summary:
I don’t know what you do for a living but I bet it is either pretty mundane or you are a retired social security recipient. I do know that your view of the economy is very pedestrian. You don’t have a good grasp on how manufacturing works or how businesses run or even basic economic principles like deficits are not bad.
A low level of education makes you vulnerable to the misinformation you are repeating. If you were being robbed everyday you’d protect yourself. Well, you are being robbed with shit information because you are not armed with knowledge. I would read a lot more if I were you and shout a lot less.
