Coverage2014–2026
Tariffs are the most consistent economic idea in Trump's public output and the one that changes the least in substance while changing the most in scale. Across 525 posts from 2014 to 2026 the core claim is fixed from the first tweet: other countries charge the United States and the United States charges nothing, so 'we should charge them SAME as they charge us'. What evolves is what tariffs are for. In 2018-2019 they are a negotiating weapon and a revenue stream ('I am a Tariff Man', 'billions pouring into U.S. coffers'), aimed at China, the EU, Canada's dairy and Mexico's border, with a fixed rebuttal that consumers do not pay because 'China is eating the tariffs'. In the 2022-2024 wilderness years tariffs become doctrine: part of the one-sentence definition of 'TRUMPISM', a McKinley-era model in which 'tariffs, and tariffs alone' made America rich before the income tax, and a campaign promise defended against the 'national sales tax' charge. The second term turns doctrine into a system: an 'External Revenue Service', reciprocal tariffs that count VAT as a tariff, 'Liberation Day', a 125% rate on China, tariffs as the lever for deals with the UK, Japan ($550 billion), the Philippines, South Korea and Vietnam, and as an all-purpose sanction against Colombia, Denmark, BRICS, Russia's oil buyers and Canada's Ontario electricity surcharge. From mid-2025 the posts are dominated by two numbers and one fear: trillions collected, trillions invested, and a court that might take it all away. The Supreme Court's February 20, 2026 ruling against the IEEPA tariffs is met with contempt ('supreme court' in lower case, appointees Gorsuch and Barrett rebuked by name), an immediate pivot to other statutory authorities, a purge threat against Republicans who vote against tariffs, and, by late summer 2026, a renewed tariff war with Canada scheduled for January 1, 2027. Tariffs are described in turn as revenue, leverage, national security, a jobs program, an anti-inflation tool, a peacemaker ('I have stopped 5 of the eight WARS' with the threat of tariffs) and a test of loyalty. They are never described as a cost.
Phase 012014–2017
reciprocity principle before policy
Tariffs as the obvious remedy for a one-sided world: reimburse the taxpayer for Mexican goods, 'look at foreign tariffs' when accused of wanting a trade war, and, two weeks into the presidency, the principle that will govern everything after: 'Countries charge U.S. companies taxes or tariffs while the U.S. charges them nothing or little. We should charge them SAME as they charge us!'
3 posts in four years, two of them retweets of supporters. The February 3, 2017 post is the first statement of reciprocity as policy and one of the most reposted tariff posts in the dataset (22,000 reposts). Nothing is imposed yet; the vocabulary of fairness and reciprocity is already complete.

52 posts. March: steel and aluminum tariffs tied to NAFTA renegotiation and to EU car threats. June: the G7 rupture with Trudeau, the 20% EU car tariff threat, the Harley-Davidson attacks. July-August: 'Tariffs are the greatest!', 'Tariffs are working far better than anyone ever anticipated', 'we will be able to start paying down large amounts of the $21 Trillion in debt', tariffs doubled on Turkey as the lira falls. September: 'Apple prices may increase... Make your products in the United States instead of China'. December 4: 'I am a Tariff Man. When people or countries come in to raid the great wealth of our Nation, I want them to pay for the privilege'. Consumer cost is denied throughout ('cost increases have thus far been almost unnoticeable').
The first tariffs (Section 232 on steel and aluminum, March 2018) are defended as a jobs and revenue miracle ('Aluminum prices are DOWN 4%', 'Plants are opening all over the U.S.'). Allies are the main targets: the EU's car market, Canada's '270% on dairy' and Trudeau's 'very dishonest & weak' G7 remarks, Macron, Harley-Davidson's 'White Flag'. China enters through the 40% car tariff and the $500 billion deficit. The United States is 'the piggy bank that's being robbed' and 'was built on Tariffs'. The year ends with the self-definition that names the topic: 'I am a Tariff Man'.

The March 2018 posts tie the Section 232 steel and aluminum tariffs to NAFTA and to a threatened tax on European cars. Reciprocity stops being a slogan and becomes a policy with named targets, most of them allies.

The self-description fixes tariffs as part of Trump's persona rather than one tool among others. From here opposition to tariffs is treated as opposition to him.

120 posts, the densest year before 2025. The most reposted post of the whole topic is May 11, 2019: 'Such an easy way to avoid Tariffs? Make or produce your goods and products in the good old USA' (25,000 reposts), alongside 'Build your products in the United States and there are NO TARIFFS!' The Mexico episode (May 30-June 10) is the first time a tariff is explicitly not about trade: 'The Tariff is about stopping drugs as well as illegals!' The year also fixes the consumer-cost defense used ever since: currency devaluation and subsidies mean the exporter pays; 'No visible increase in costs or inflation, but U.S. is taking Billions!' Biden appears as 'China's Dream Candidate, because there would be no more Tariffs'.
The China trade war is the main event: 25% on $250 billion, threats on the remaining $325 billion, 'China is eating the Tariffs' through devaluation, 'only 4 points were paid by the U.S., 21 points by China', farmers compensated with $28 billion 'compliments of China Tariffs'. Steel is 'totally revived'. In late May tariffs become an immigration instrument against Mexico (5% rising monthly unless migration stops), suspended on June 7 after a deal. India's tariffs are 'unacceptable', the WTO Airbus award justifies $7.5 billion on EU goods, Brazil and Argentina lose their steel exemptions over currency devaluation. The Phase One deal in December keeps the 25% in place.

The escalating 5% tariff on Mexico unless migration stops is the first use of tariffs for a non-trade objective. The pattern recurs with Colombia (2025), Canada's fentanyl (2025), Denmark (2026) and Russia's oil buyers (2025).

Tariffs recede as a policy topic and appear as a campaign asset in specific states: steel tariffs 'roaring back' Minnesota's Iron Range, Michigan jobs versus Biden's agenda 'Made in China', Maine's fishermen freed from Chinese and EU tariffs. The WSJ editorial board 'doesn't have a clue'.

31 posts. The register shifts from bragging about receipts to defending a plan. Navarro's imprisonment is framed as persecution of 'the toughest advocate for Tariffs'. Romney and Warren's letter asking Biden to keep the China tariffs is reposted as vindication. In October 2024 Democratic senators running ads saying 'they are with President Trump on Tariffs' is cited as proof the argument is won. December brings 'Governor Justin Trudeau of the Great State of Canada' and the announcement, on January 14, 2025, of an 'EXTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE' to replace reliance on the IRS.
Out of office, tariffs become part of a creed. The 'TRUMPISM' definition (posted in 2022 and again in 2023) lists 'Tariffs & Taxes on other countries who have taken advantage of the United States and which will make the USA rich and debt free again'. History is recruited: 'study the administration of President William McKinley', Smoot-Hawley 'was passed AFTER the Great Depression had already started'. The 2024 campaign adds the 10% universal tariff, the denial that it is a 'National Sales Tax', the claim that tariffs 'are paid for by the abusing country, NOT THE AMERICAN CONSUMER' and 'do not cause inflation', and the first uses of tariffs as diplomatic threats before taking office: 100% on BRICS if they move off the dollar, blocking Nippon Steel, 'TARIFFS all the way' unless the EU buys American oil and gas.

'These tariffs are paid for by the abusing country, NOT THE AMERICAN CONSUMER. They do not cause inflation' becomes the fixed defense of the 10% universal tariff. Every later inflation post repeats it.

About 105 posts in three and a half months, including dozens of reshared supportive articles. Key sequence: February 1-3 tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China, paused within 48 hours after border commitments; February 13 reciprocal tariffs; March 3 'Get ready to start making a lot of agricultural product to be sold INSIDE of the United States'; March 11 the Ontario retaliation; April 2 Liberation Day; April 4 Vietnam offers zero tariffs; April 7 China's 34% retaliation; April 9 China to 125%; April 15 'RECORD NUMBERS in Tariffs, with the cost of almost all products going down'; April 20 the eight-point 'NON-TARIFF CHEATING' list (currency manipulation, VAT, dumping, standards, IP theft, transshipping). The Fed is told rates 'would go hand in hand with upcoming Tariffs'.
Tariffs are now the answer to everything: Colombia refusing deportation flights, Canada's fentanyl and its dairy quotas (243%, 298%, 245%), Ontario's electricity surcharge (answered with 50% on Canadian steel and aluminum within hours), BRICS currencies, China's retaliation (raised to 125% 'based on the lack of respect that China has shown'). The February 13 'RECIPROCAL Tariff' doctrine treats VAT as a tariff. April 2 is 'Liberation Day'. Anyone opposed is 'controlled by China'; 'THE BUSINESSMEN WHO CRITICIZE TARIFFS ARE BAD AT BUSINESS'. The promise widens to income taxes 'substantially reduced, maybe even completely eliminated' for people under $200,000. Canada is told it can have 'ZERO TARIFFS' as the 51st state.

The reciprocal-tariff announcement generalizes the 2017 principle into a mechanism covering every trading partner, and the VAT clause brings the EU squarely into scope. 'Liberation Day' on April 2 is the execution.

About 55 posts. September 13 and 23: tariffs on Russia's oil buyers conditioned on Europe doing the same. September 29: furniture tariffs for North Carolina. October 1: soybean farmers to be helped 'because China is... not buying'. October 22-24: ranchers, trucks, and the Canada ad, with the all-caps summary 'THE UNITED STATES IS WEALTHY, POWERFUL, AND NATIONALLY SECURE AGAIN, ALL BECAUSE OF TARIFFS!' November 4: 'Tomorrow's United States Supreme Court case is, literally, LIFE OR DEATH'. November 9: 'People that are against Tariffs are FOOLS!' and the licensing argument (a president may ban all trade but not impose 'a simple Tariff'). December 16: trade deficit 'reduced by more than half'. December 23: Q3 GDP 4.3% 'due to Good Government, and TARIFFS'.
Everything good is attributed to tariffs and everything is at stake in one case. Tariffs 'SAVED our Cattle Ranchers' (50% on Brazil), rescued soybean farmers (paid 'from a small portion of that money'), sent Ford and GM stock 'through the roof' (truck tariffs), brought Nvidia's chips home, 'stopped 5 of the eight WARS', will fund 'a dividend of at least $2000' and pay down $37 trillion of debt. The Supreme Court case is 'LIFE OR DEATH for our Country'; the 'unwind' would exceed $3 trillion. Canada's Reagan advertisement is 'FAKE' and an attempt 'to illegally influence the United States Supreme Court'. A Fed study is reshared as proof that '150 Years of Evidence Shows Tariffs Lower Inflation'.

About 25 posts. January 5: 'more than 600 Billion Dollars in Tariffs'. January 8: 'lowest Trade Deficit since 2009... a direct result of TARIFFS'. January 15: the reason for great numbers 'in just one word — TARIFFS!' January 17-21: the Greenland episode, tariffs on Denmark and the EU announced and then dropped.

February 19: Coosa Steel 'working 24 hours around the clock, after it was down to just one hour a year ago'.
The case is pending and the posts pile up results for the justices to see: '$600 Billion' collected, 'lowest Trade Deficit since 2009', deficit 'reduced by 78%', Dow 50,000, GDP over 5%, 'I hope the United States Supreme Court is watching'. Tariffs are used against Denmark over Greenland (threatened January 17, withdrawn January 21 after a NATO 'framework'), against South Korea's legislature for not ratifying its deal, and against Canada's Gordie Howe bridge. Domestically the line hardens: 'Any Republican, in the House or the Senate, that votes against TARIFFS will seriously suffer the consequences come Election time, and that includes Primaries!'

About 65 posts. February 20-23: the ruling and the counter-narrative that the Court 'accidentally and unwittingly gave me... far more powers'. February 27: refunds could go to countries 'ripping off' America. April 24: '159 Billion Dollars... All they had to do was one little half sentence'. May 10: 'I Love Justice Neil Gorsuch!... but he voted against me, and our Country, on Tariffs, a devastating move'. July 29: the Court cost the nation 'TRILLIONS AND TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS' on birthright citizenship and tariffs. August 16: a de minimis court win. August 18-30: the Canada sequence, from a paused 50% tariff and a revived Keystone XL to '400% Tariffs' on farmers, Gulfstream, the '60 Billion Dollar Deficit', Bombardier, 'Lake America' and the January 2027 automotive tariffs. Governor Hochul is 'on the side of Canada'. September 4: 162,000 jobs credited to the 'Trump Boom'.
The Supreme Court strikes down the IEEPA tariffs on February 20, 2026. The response has four moves: contempt ('should be ashamed of themselves', Gorsuch and Barrett rebuked, 'supreme court' written in lower case 'based on a complete lack of respect'); substitution (the 10% worldwide tariff raised under other authority the next day, 'I do not have to go back to Congress', licences as a 'terrible' new power); punishment (a Republican congressman's endorsement withdrawn 'based on a lack of support' for tariffs); and grievance about refunds ('159 Billion Dollars', later 'TRILLIONS AND TRILLIONS'). Deals continue (EU car tariff to 25% for non-compliance, Scotch whisky tariffs lifted for the King's visit, Toyota to Texas, TSMC, Novartis, Nissan). From August, Canada returns as the enemy: 50% tariffs paused for a deal on August 18, 'Canada wants the benefits of being a State, without being one', and tariffs on all Canadian cars, trucks and parts announced for January 1, 2027.

The IEEPA ruling is the largest setback in the topic's history and produces the most hostile posts ever directed at the Court and at Trump's own appointees. Within 24 hours the tariff is re-imposed under other authority and a congressman loses his endorsement over tariffs.

Less than two years ago, Radical Left Dumocrats handed us the DARK AGE of America, but we quickly turned it into the GOLDEN AGE of America. Despite all the damage Dumocrats caused, our Nation is doing better now than ever before, but the Fake News Media refuses to talk about our Record Setting Numbers, so today, I AM GOING TO DO IT MYSELF: \nIt was just announced that under Republican Leadership, Incomes for Hardworking Americans have soared to the Highest Level EVER RECORDED. More Americans are working today than at any time in the History of our Country! The Poverty Rate has just reached its lowest level in American History. African American Poverty, Hispanic American Poverty, and Native American Poverty Rates are all at their lowest levels EVER recorded. Exports have soared to the Highest Level in American History.\nLess than two years ago, our Country was DEAD. Now, we are the “HOTTEST” Country anywhere in the World.\nIn 4 long years of the Crooked Joe Biden administration, they got less than 1 Trillion Dollars of new Investment in the United States. Since I took office, we have secured commitments for more than 21 Trillion Dollars in 15 months. Here in Kansas, the pharmaceutical company, Merck, is investing nearly 1 Billion Dollars in De Soto to expand Production, and create thousands of Jobs, and Boeing is investing 1 Billion Dollars right here in Wichita – The Air Capital of the World! \nOur Country is doing so well under Republican Leadership, that ONLY I can make you this promise: If Republicans win the House of Representatives and the Senate, I am going to give ALL ADULT CITIZENS in the United States 5,000 DOLLARS. Only Republicans can do it, and the Democrats can’t, because we’re taking in massive amounts of money through TARIFFS and Record Setting Economic Success, but the Democrat policies won’t allow this to happen, in fact the opposite — If the Democrats win, you will have a 1929 style Economic Depression. If the Republicans win, you will each have 5,000 DOLLARS IN YOUR POCKET, and Economic Success for our Country like we have never seen before. And remember, just recently, I gave all members of the Military 1,776 Dollars, and everyone said it can’t be done. I did it. The Trump Dividend is approximately 1 Trillion Dollars, but we have a Record Setting 21 Trillion Dollars that’s being invested in the Country in just 15 months. The ONLY Caveat of the Trump Dividend is that you have to spend the money in the United States of America! President DONALD J. TRUMP
HUGE INVESTMENT WIN for NEBRASKA AND THE U.S.! \nBeckton Dickenson (BD), one of the largest Medical Device Manufacturers, has agreed to an Investment of 3 BILLION DOLLARS to Onshore Manufacturing of Essential Medical Products (syringes, needles, lab kits, and more) that American Patients and Hospitals depend on. The biggest expansion will be in NEBRASKA (I am heading there today!) where BD will Invest over 1 BILLION DOLLARS to ramp up production of numerous products, including needles made with American Steel. No one likes needles — But, if you need one, it should be made of American Steel in the U.S.A. \nThe reason for BD’s announcement is my strong Medical Device TARIFFS, which will be in place by the end of the year. BUILD IN AMERICA, HIRE AMERICAN WORKERS, AND TREAT AMERICAN PATIENTS FAIRLY — OR PAY! President DONALD J. TRUMP
HUGE NEWS FOR OHIO, where I am heading right now! Bayer just announced a brand new, 2.2 Billion Dollar Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Campus near Columbus. It will generate thousands of Jobs for Ohioans in Advanced Manufacturing, Scientific Research, Construction, and more. This massive Onshoring WIN is thanks to my strong Pharmaceutical Tariffs, which have led to over 600 BILLION DOLLARS in new Pharma Investments, and lower (MFN) Drug Prices. Companies everywhere are building in the U.S.A. BUILD IN AMERICA, HIRE AMERICAN WORKERS, AND PRICE DRUGS FOR AMERICAN PATIENTS FAIRLY — OR PAY. I LOVE OHIO! President DONALD J. TRUMP
RT: https://truthsocial.com/users/realDonaldTrump/statuses/117326044871082645 This is a survey of people in business — the S&P Flash Survey — of purchasing, manufacturing and hiring. Guess what? The report shows impressive Growth.\n \nComposite Index — Services + Manufacturing, 62 month high!\n \nManufacturing — 53 month high!\n \nServices — 52 month high!\n \nThis is the “HOTTEST” Economy in the World — and the Media is working overtime for the Democrats to convince Voters that the opposite is true. \n \nFor working people, a “HOT” Economy is good because it gives them more wage leverage, and more flexibility to get better jobs.\n \nThe Media is trying to cover up how well things are going before the Midterms, just to help Democrats. The truth is something everyone should be celebrating. The Economy IS putting Americans back to work. Real median incomes are the highest on record!\n \nLet's not forget: Biden inflation in August 2022 was over 8 percent.\n \nIf you ignore the (predictable) boomerang ‘growth’ Biden got immediately after the COVID period, Trump's Second Term would be the fastest Growth since 2015. \n \nWe’re supposed to stop all of this momentum, halt all this progress, to turn things over to the bozos who will simply launch investigations, and try to reverse it all?\n \nAmericans are getting richer. Businesses are investing and growing.\nDemocrat and NeverTrump Predictions that turned out to be WRONG: \n \n— Businesses are NOT abandoning the U.S.\n \n— Deporting illegals did NOT tank the Economy.\n \n— Tariffs didn’t slow down the Economy.\n \n— Cutting the Federal workforce didn’t hurt us either. \n \n— Other countries didn’t “leave us behind.”\n \n— Oil didn’t go to $200 a barrel.\n \nGas prices will be coming down and, if you stick with us, America will continue to be the strongest, freest Country on God’s Green Earth!\n https://www. pmi.spglobal.com/Public/Home/P ressRelease/ed177f50167b4203ac490a961ea706be
Unfortunately, the United States Supreme Court has lacked the Courage to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. Over the last 6 months, with their faulty, political, and ridiculous decisions on TARIFFS and Birthright Citizenship, they have cost the United States of America Trillions of Dollars, and forever damaged the way people become Citizens of our great Country. It has been a sad chapter in the life and times of America, but we will prevail! President DONALD J. TRUMP
It was my Honor to write the Foreword for Brian Pannebecker’s incredible new Book, “Blue Collar Conservative: From Reagan to Trump.” As the head of Autoworkers for Trump, Brian has been with us from the very beginning, and understands, like few others, the Wisdom, Courage, and TARIFFS required to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. It is Great Patriots like Brian who helped us secure Historic Victories in three Presidential Campaigns, and are working tirelessly to save American Industry, and champion MADE IN THE U.S.A. “Forgotten” America is forgotten no longer — Get your copy today:\n https://www. amazon.com/Blue-Collar-Conserv ative-Reagan-Trump/dp/1960452258
Republicans just got another bad decision from the United States Supreme Court, one that the Court System took forever to give, and then blamed it, in part, on no time left to implement a solution to our totally CORRUPT and out of control Mail-In voting “disaster,” which is a laughing stock all over the World, and where we are the only country that has to endure such a Nation Destroying SCAM. Justices Alito and Thomas, legends both, strongly disagreed with this horrible, highly political, ruling. It is a big loss for Republicans, and America itself, and makes cheating by the Radical Left “Dumocrats,” on Mail-In Ballots, a much easier thing to do - And now they have an open field to do so! The Supreme Court has really let our Country down! Certain Justices are petrified of these crazed and depraved Democrats, and are totally unable to show the courage necessary to save our America. Their horrible decision on Tariffs will be costing the U.S.A., for many years to come, Trillions and Trillions of Dollars. They didn’t even state, “money paid does not have to be paid back,” much to the benefit of entities that truly hate our Country, and have been RIPPING IT OFF FOR YEARS, unnecessarily costing us, immediately, Billions of Dollars. Likewise, the Supreme Court’s Decision on Birthright Citizenship is a complete and total disaster for America, and has already led to massive corruption with respect to “citizenship” in our Country. The damage done to America is incalculable, and they know this, just as everyone else does - It is an irreparable and unrecoverable harm! The Court’s inability and unwillingness to do the right thing for our Country will go down, in a very negative way, in the annals of History. This Supreme Court is bullied and cajoled by the Radical Left into making decisions that have set America back at least a hundred years. These are not the people I interviewed to serve on the United States Supreme Court, they are merely a shell of their original selves, a Court that is costing the United States Trillions of Dollars with shockingly bad rulings that are of such magnitude that it won’t be easily possible for our Country to recover or heal. It is a Court that will go down as having rendered some of the most destructive, hurtful, and damaging decisions in our Country’s history. It is not easy for me to write this criticism of the United States Supreme Court - it will likely cost me dearly for years to come - but I feel it my obligation and duty, as President, to do so for the America we love! Thank you for your attention to this very important matter. God bless the U.S.A. President DONALD J. TRUMP
GREAT NEWS! Our THRIVING Economy added 162 THOUSAND Jobs in August, in honor of our Great American Workers who we celebrate this (and every!) Labor Day. This strong number is nearly TRIPLE the predictions of the Bloomberg survey's so-called "Economists," who continue to suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome. The effects of the Trump Boom can be seen across many Industries. My Administration's Fair Trade Policies, using a wonderful tool called "TARIFFS," have reset the Global Economy, bringing Manufacturing Jobs BACK to America, like never before. Factory Construction is BOOMING as Companies take advantage of FULL EXPENSING — One year deduction. Before long, these Factories will be teeming with red, white, and blue-blooded AMERICAN Workers! President DONALD J. TRUMP
Great jobs number just announced, breaking all estimates (except mine!) by double and triple - And you haven’t seen anything yet! EMPLOYERS ADDED 162,000 JOB IN AUGUST. Lower the interest rates because the U.S.A. is a much stronger credit than it was just a short time ago! A STRONG COUNTRY MEANS A LOWER INTEREST RATE - IT’S A BETTER CREDIT…Very simple! We should have the LOWEST RATE of any country in the World, like “the old days.” Without the United States agreeing to allow them their big surpluses, and we could stop that immediately, they would no longer be considered financially ELITE! LOWER THE RATE OR I’LL STOP TRADING WITH COUNTRIES WITH WHICH WE HAVE A DEFICIT, which the U.S. Supreme Court, in its ridiculous and very costly Tariff decision, strongly acknowledged “the President” has an absolute right to do. ITS BETTER THAN TARIFFS! The Fed Board, with its great new leader, must get smart - BE PATRIOTS for a change. High interest rates put the U.S.A. at a very unfair disadvantage, and I won’t allow that to happen! President DONALD J. TRUMP
For many years, the USA has been losing more than 60 Billion Dollars a year with Canada. Why??? Our long ago stolen businesses are now coming back to America in order to avoid paying tariffs. They are lining up, just like the rest of the World!!! President DJT
Let all Canadian Companies that are doing business with America move to the United States, immediately. Many of them are Companies that moved out years ago due to stupid U.S. Leadership. When you move back, there are no TARIFFS! President DONALD J. TRUMP
When I announced that I was running in the 2024 Presidential Election, right at the beginning, Ford was getting ready to close their Big Factory, in Detroit. Then, because I was leading in the Polls, they figured they would leave it open a little longer to see what happened. Now it’s running 24/7, and it’s one of the most profitable Car Plants in the World! There are many other examples, for both Ford, General Motors, and others. I’ve revived, and indeed saved, the Automobile Business in our America. That’s because of what I’ve done with TARIFFS. One of the Worst Abusers is Canada. I don’t want Canadian cars, I don’t want Canadian parts, I don’t want Canadian anything. They’ve been ripping us off for decades, and it’s going to stop. This should have happened long ago with other Presidents, just as stopping Iran should have happened long ago. They want to be treated like a State, but they aren’t one. I deal with the Leadership of many Countries, but I find Canada to be the worst. They are entitled no longer! President DONALD J. TRUMP
Stupid Governor Kathy Hochul, who doesn’t care about New York State, has announced that she is on the side of Canada, which has been ripping us off for decades on Trade and Tariffs, with a specific target of Hochul and her State. They’re aiming at her because they consider her Weak and Ineffective — Not nice! She doesn’t want us to use the name, “Lake America,” she’d rather have Canada get a win. That’s the problem with Governor Hochul, and many other Dumocrats. She allows other Countries and States to take advantage of New York, which gets treated like “garbage.” They laugh at us up and down what was once called, “Lake Ontario,” what is now called “Lake America.” That is why Bruce Blakeman is going to be your next Governor. He’s an “animal,” he fights like hell, he doesn’t let anyone else win. He’s for the people. He’s smart and cunning, and will Lower your Taxes, and Stop Crime. VOTE FOR BRUCE BLAKEMAN!

Laura Ingraham: “Year-to-date, the goods and services deficit decreased $189.3 billion, or 33.8 percent, from the same period in 2025. Exports increased $198.3 billion or 11.7 percent. Imports increased $9.0 billion or 0.4 percent. Where are all the experts who claimed that the tariffs would kill our exports? GOOD NEWS TUESDAY…IN ADDITION TO THE DOW AND OIL DOWN....The trade deficit is going down, and exports are up for the year so far."
Canada has been “Ripping Off” the U.S.A. for decades. They have been charging our Farmers 400% Tariffs, and more. They have driven many wonderful U.S. companies out of business. For 10 years they wouldn’t certify Gulfstream Jets, until I got involved. They wanted 100% of the market for Gulfstream’s Canadian competitor. I deal with many countries, and Canada is easily the most difficult and unreasonable. They feel entitled, but they are not a State, and will be entitled no longer! President DJT

Canada has been ripping off the United States of America for years. Their ridiculously high tariffs on our Farmers and farm products has made life impossible for these great American Patriots, and has long created a 60 Billion Dollar Deficit between our two Countries. Not sustainable, and NOT ANYMORE! On January First, 2027, Tariffs on all Cars, Trucks, both large and small, Automotive Parts, and Steel, will be increased to 50%. Build in the U.S. and there are ZERO TARIFFS. Canada will be treated like a State no longer! On Trade, and in other ways, also, they are among the worst Nations in the World to deal with. They feel entitled, and yet, WE DON’T NEED CANADA, THEY NEED US! They do 95% of their business with the U.S., with us, the exact opposite! Thank you for your attention to this matter!
