Top Official Tears Into Trump
In a major shift that’s rattling world leaders, President Donald Trump’s America-first trade agenda is making headlines—and making globalists nervous. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen voiced her disapproval Tuesday at a political gathering in Spain, warning that the U.S. is shaking up global markets with historic tariffs aimed at leveling the playing field for American workers.
“For decades, so-called ‘free trade’ enriched foreign economies while hollowing out America’s industrial base,” von der Leyen admitted during remarks in Valencia. “Now the world is reacting to the unpredictable tariff policy coming from Washington.”
Under President Trump’s leadership, the U.S. has implemented the strongest tariffs in over 100 years, confronting unfair practices head-on. China, long accused of currency manipulation and intellectual property theft, now faces a 145% tariff on nearly all exports to the U.S.—while other nations have been granted a 90-day pause, pending renegotiations.
Meanwhile, 10% baseline tariffs remain in place for most trade partners, with Canada and Mexico hit with 25% tariffs—a bold move to restore fairness to North American trade. These measures follow years of weak leadership and globalist deals that prioritized foreign interests over American workers, retirees, and small businesses.
Globalist Panic or Patriotic Progress?
Global financial institutions like the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the United Nations are sounding alarms. The IMF recently slashed its 2025 global growth forecast from 3.3% to 2.8%, blaming U.S. trade policy. But many Americans see this as a necessary course correction—a long-overdue stand against global exploitation of U.S. markets.
Critics claim tariffs “hurt consumers,” but President Trump and his supporters argue the real damage was done by decades of job-killing trade deals. From Detroit to Decatur, hard-working Americans remember when “Made in the USA” meant something—and Trump is determined to bring that pride back.
EU Tries to Fill the Void—But Finds Little Trust
Von der Leyen insists the world is now “turning toward Europe” for stable trade partnerships. She pointed to outreach efforts with India, Indonesia, and the UAE. “We are fair, we are reliable,” she claimed, pushing for new alliances while America resets the rules.
But conservative Americans know better. The EU’s bureaucracy and regulation-heavy system is no match for U.S. innovation, manufacturing strength, and Trump’s no-nonsense leadership. As European elites cling to old systems, America is forging a new path—bold, independent, and unapologetically pro-American.
