Using Tariffs, Donald Trump Reinvents Capitalism in America

As AOC and Bernie Sanders traveled around the country to entice college students into socialism, I wondered if the students actually understood what they were fighting for? I wondered if their parents could explain the virtues of capitalism, as opposed to communism or socialism?

It is hard to understand President Trump’s ideas, like shrinking the size of government and that more workers don’t always mean increased value for the government. Sometimes, more means “redundant” and “wasteful.” Spending more money doesn’t necessarily mean “efficiency;” sometimes, it means “corruption.” Tariffs level the playing field. If your country can sell to Americans, we should be able to sell to your citizens.

Liberation Day has come and gone. It looks like the only ones crying are the so-called experts who have been wrong in every policy they have ever created. I remember when I was a mortgage broker in the early 2000s, how we screamed, “Don’t send our jobs overseas, because if you do, the people will not be able to pay their mortgages!”

I was called every name you can think of, including conspiracy theorist. I was told I didn’t know what I was talking about and that America was going to be the greatest service country in the world! I said, If we lose our manufacturing base, we must rely on others to care for us! If we rely on other countries to produce our goods, we become slaves to other countries. We saw that during COVID-19 as they took care of their countries first. We had to beg for meds.

What services do people without jobs need?

They need services from the government, and therefore, the government will continue to grow and grow, and the taxes collected will NEVER be enough! To everyone’s surprise, Karen was right. Could it be because of two things? I learned critical thinking skills in school, and it is proven and logical that people without jobs cannot pay mortgages.

What did the Bush administration do? They put out propaganda, saying that bad people like you and I could not pay our mortgages because we bought houses that were too expensive! We are living beyond our means. What a lie.

For none are so blind as those who cannot see that America is on a path of destruction. What kept America afloat during those years? War, of course! War needs products that America is able to produce. Those wars made the manufacturers and their investors very rich.

Let’s not forget the greenies, who were able to regulate our industries. Today, we learn that not one country has successfully adopted green energy strategies. Cheap coal and fossil fuel, of which America has an abundance, became overly expensive, driving the cost of goods up. Bringing fuel prices down reduces inflation.

Too many Americans do not understand tariffs or capitalism. Why? Because it is no longer taught in schools! For this reason, we made it easy for Communist Democrats to instill fear in the American people instead of preparation.

Although you are probably only hearing about the tariffs going into effect, President Trump’s economic plan is multifaceted. It encompasses tariffs, tax cuts, regulation cuts, companies coming back to America to create jobs, and drill, baby, drill. All of these policies are designed to make America wealthy again. It will take time to do this, so do not panic; prepare.

We all know that when a new policy is implemented, it takes time for it to work through the system and stabilize. Tariffs become the new bogeyman, and the Left tries to scare you into thinking prices will go up as an attack on you.

When new industries come online, prices will come back down. What they never say is that it takes time. We must be prepared, and we must prepare our children. It is for that reason that I asked Andy Bernstein, who wrote a book called The Capitalist Manifesto, to be the guest this week and explain capitalism in a way that you can understand what it means and how you can prepare and come out whole and successful on the other side.

Thank you, President Trump, for having the courage to reverse America’s destructive path and construct a winning economy.
