Genius or Madness? Analyzing Trump's Trade Tactics
On Wednesday’s Mark Levin Show, President Trump is a genius. Communist China is isolated. Most of the rest of the world seeks trade and tariff deals. The stock market shot back up. It’s Incredible. Trump has implemented a sweeping tariff plan, hitting China with a 104% levy and additional tariffs, effectively isolating it from global trade. He has shifted the trade landscape in a week, prompting over 70 countries to seek U.S. trade deals. Trump’s approach differs from the 1930s tariff wars, as he’s a capitalist, unlike the socialist FDR. He seeks to slash taxes, shrink government, cut spending and regulations, and push a pro-growth agenda absent in that earlier era. Also, Trump says that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. They need to make a deal or else. Does this make Trump a neo-con? Of course not. What really hurt America was the Biden regimen and how they help fund Iran nuclear program. Later, Democrats have contributed to a growing "assassination culture" in the U.S. through inflammatory rhetoric against Trump, and their current silence in the face of escalating violent rhetoric is tantamount to encouragement. The Democrat Party has always been violent – they even defended lynching. Finally, Adam Kredo calls in to discuss a lawsuit filed by American victims of Hamas's October 7, 2023, attack accuses Al Jazeera and its U.S. affiliate of providing material support to Hamas by employing operatives as journalists and broadcasting propaganda. The plaintiffs allege Al Jazeera had prior knowledge of the attack and incited violence through its U.S.-based operations, seeking damages under the U.S. Anti-Terrorism Act.
