President Trump is riding a wave of momentum, declaring the last three months of his presidency as one of the most successful periods in American history. This optimism is not just rhetoric—Trump has moved quickly to reassert American strength on the world stage and reinvigorate the economy at home. The president’s recent meetings with global leaders, including Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and Japanese officials, underscore a renewed commitment to fair trade and strong alliances, all while putting America’s interests first.
Trump’s approach to trade is refreshingly bold. By imposing tough tariffs on countries that have long taken advantage of the United States, he’s sending a clear message: America will no longer be the world’s piggy bank. The administration’s strategy is to leverage these tariffs as bargaining chips, encouraging allies like Japan and Italy to negotiate better deals while isolating China and pressuring it to end unfair trade practices. Trump’s confidence is evident—he’s “100% certain” a trade deal with Europe will be reached, and he’s not shying away from tough conversations with Japan, demanding not just trade fairness but also greater financial contributions to shared defense costs.
Of course, the usual chorus of economic “experts” and media naysayers is wringing their hands over the possibility of higher inflation and slower growth due to tariffs. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell has voiced concerns about inflation and economic headwinds, but these are the same voices that doubted Trump’s economic policies in his first term—policies that delivered record-low unemployment, rising wages, and a booming stock market. The reality is that short-term discomfort is a small price to pay for long-term economic sovereignty and the revival of American manufacturing.
Republicans in Congress are rallying behind Trump’s vision, pushing for the extension of the 2017 tax cuts and fighting to keep taxes low for working Americans. In states like Michigan, where families feel the pinch of every dollar, the GOP’s commitment to lower taxes stands in stark contrast to Democrats’ endless appetite for higher spending and redistribution. The House’s recent passage of a budget framework to extend these tax cuts is a clear signal that Republicans are focused on growth, job creation, and letting Americans keep more of what they earn.
As President Trump continues to restore American pride and prosperity, he’s proving that strong leadership and unapologetic patriotism are exactly what this country needs. While the left obsesses over process and appeasement, Trump is delivering results—securing the border, defending free speech, and putting American workers first. If the past three months are any indication, the best days for the United States are still ahead, as long as we stay the course and reject the failed policies of the past.
