No doubt the stock market on everyone’s mind today – a rollercoaster ride over the past few days. My advice – let not your heart be troubled, America.
The stock market is not the economy. And right now the economy is doing incredibly well. The sky is not falling.
Oil prices are down. Interest rates are down. Food prices are down and President Trump announced today there is no inflation.
A new poll shows the President’s approval rating is at 53 percent – that’s a four-point increase over a poll that was released last week.
That’s because the average American – the blue collar workers of this nation understand that President Trump is trying to save the country.
Watch my opening monologue on Newsmax and click here to follow my YouTube Channel.
The trade war has been ongoing for decades. Republican and Democrat administrations have refused to push back against unfair tariffs. Tariffs that led many American companies to close up shop and head overseas.
Those unfair trade policies crippled many small towns and industrial cities across the nation. Just drive through any number of small town main streets and you’ll see boarded up windows. Shuttered factories.
President Trump’s recriprocal tariffs will reverse that trend. His plan will bring industry and jobs back to America. And when that happens – Main Streets will be overflowing with new shops and restaurants. Jobs will be plentiful.
It’s going to be a painful process – much like having open heart surgery. President Trump is conducting open heart surgery on this nation’s economy. The recovery will take time – but it will work. And soon – our nation will once again be back in business – on a level international playing field.
Beyond that, the president is making America self-sufficient again. There’s no reason why we should rely on China for life-saving medications.
But the stock market plunge has given lots of fair-weather conservatives cold feet. Many Republican lawmakers and Conservative pundits are getting nervous and some are heading for the exits. Ben Shapiro and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) among some of the most outspoken.
Cruz warning of a bloodbath for Republicans in the midterm elections and warned that it could trigger a full blown trade war that would destroy jobs here at home and do real damage to the US economy.
“I’m seeing a lot of Republican cheerleaders reflexively defending what the White House is doing,” Cruz said on his “Verdict” podcast Friday, noting that a trade war “would destroy jobs here at home and do real damage to the US economy.”
The truth of the matter is that we have been in a trade war for decades and neither Republicans nor Democrats did anything about it.
“If we go into a recession, particularly a bad recession, 2026, in all likelihood politically, would be a bloodbath,” Cruz said. “You would face a Democrat House, and you might even face a Democrat Senate.”
Cruz said the quiet part out loud – Lawmakers are concerned about losing their jobs. What they ought to be doing is lining up behind President Trump and trust his plan.
But word from NBC News that as many as seven Senate Republicans may side with Democrats to limit the president’s tariff authority.
That would be a fatal mistake.
Meanwhile – Republicans in both the Senate and the House have failed to codify any of the president’s executive orders.
The Republican Party should pay heed to what I’m about to say. If they stand against this president and his policies – there will most certainly be a bloodbath in the midterms. And I’m beginning to wonder if that’s what some of the Establishment Republicans have been plotting all along.
