  • The post highlights a $5 billion investment pledge by Anthony Pratt of Pratt Industries, announced on April 30, 2025, to support Trump’s “Invest in America” initiative, aiming to create 5,000 new manufacturing jobs in states like Ohio and Michigan, as reported by Axios.
  • Pratt Industries, the largest U.S. producer of 100% recycled corrugated packaging, aligns with Trump’s reindustrialization goals, building on a prior 2022 pledge of $5 billion for recycling and clean energy infrastructure, targeting 5,000 jobs by 2032, per their website.
  • This move contrasts with critiques like The American Prospect’s March 2025 article, which argues Trump’s tariff-driven policies could harm the existing U.S. manufacturing boom under Bidenomics, potentially risking a recession that would reduce demand for manufactured goods.

Mark R. Levin:

"It took about 14 months for Reagan’s economic policies to kick in after his tax cuts were in place. He inherited a terrible economy — a recession with record high inflation. The economic growth that followed from Reaganomics was massive. The Democrats, media, and RINOs fought him every step of the way.

Trump has been president around 100 days. Congress has yet to pass his economic program, including huge middle class tax cuts. He also inherited terrible inflation, debt, spending, and regulatory policies from Biden and the congressional Democrats. I expect once his program is fully implemented and a little bit of time passes we’ll be talking about the historic Trump economic boom. He did it before and he’ll do it again.

"The Reagan-era parallels are tempting, but the fiscal reality in 2025 is fundamentally different. While Reagan inherited 13.5% inflation, Trump faces a $2.1 trillion deficit baseline from Biden-era spending surges - HHS alone ballooned 42% from 2019-2024. The 2025 tariff recalibration shows strategic adjustments underway, but Congress’s failure to pass the full economic package risks prolonging stagnation.

Discretionary spending caps from past deals have been gutted - non-defense discretionary grew 51.7% over five years pre-2024. The real test isn’t just tax cuts, but dismantling the bureaucratic bloat that’s added $2.3 trillion to annual federal outlays since 2019.

When the Joint Autonomy Office’s $55M budget gets final approval, we’ll see if DC’s efficiency reforms match the private sector’s pace."

House Speaker Mike Johnson Drops Major Announcement​


"House Speaker Mike Johnson revealed on Thursday that congressional Republicans intend to codify President Donald Trump’s executive orders into law, ensuring that future administrations will be unable to dismantle his policies.

Trump has signed 108 executive actions within his first four weeks in office, which include 73 executive orders, 23 proclamations, and 12 memorandums. While addressing the Conservative Political Action Conference, Johnson disclosed that Congress would work on formalizing these orders into a structured legal framework to shield them from reversal by subsequent administrations.

The House speaker emphasized that the president had already issued 300 executive actions, which Republicans aim to cement into law, preventing future leadership from undoing them. His remarks were met with enthusiastic applause from the audience."

It's going to be tougher this time, and maybe a little more time, but he will get it done.

Don't give up on Trump!

"BREAKING NEWS - Apple has officially announced that almost all iPhones will be produced outside of China, with a staggering 19 billion chips to be fabricated in the United States"

x.com

x.com x.com

  • The X post by Sandy (@SD73660) highlights Apple's announcement to shift iPhone production out of China, with 19 billion chips to be made in the U.S., as reported by Bloomberg on May 1, 2025, reflecting a strategic move to reduce reliance on China amid tariff pressures from the Trump administration.
  • The image of the Apple logo with a bite shaped like China's map symbolizes the significant change in Apple's supply chain, which has historically relied on China for 90% of iPhone production since partnering with Foxconn in 2001, according to a BBC report from April 18, 2025.
  • This shift aligns with broader geopolitical tensions, as the U.S. pushes for domestic manufacturing—Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick stated in April 2025 that such moves aim to bring jobs back to America—while Apple also plans to increase production in India to cover U.S. demand by 2027, per a mobilesyrup.com article from April 28, 2025.

  • The X post by
    @Vzladream
    celebrates Trump's tariff strategy, quoting a prior post about China lifting tariffs on $40 billion in U.S. goods, signaling a potential de-escalation in the U.S.-China trade war amid Trump's aggressive tariff hikes, which reached 145% on Chinese imports as reported by Yahoo Finance on May 4, 2025.
  • Trump's tariffs, including a 20% base rate and additional 125% on most Chinese imports (excluding certain goods), aimed to pressure China, with the Tax Foundation estimating an average $1,300 tax increase per U.S. household in 2025 due to these policies.
  • China’s response, lifting tariffs quietly while publicly maintaining a hard stance, reflects a strategic move to ease tensions without losing face, as noted in Yahoo Finance’s report of exemptions on U.S. ethane, semiconductors, and pharmaceuticals.
