By embracing a stronger leadership role, America First seeks to restore fairness to the international economic system.
Well, that's what would happen. I mean, if we can't make the deal that we want to make or we have to make or that's, you know, good for both parties, it's got to be good for both parties. And then we'd go back to where we were.
Yeah. We'll have to see what happens at that time.
Again, there'll be a transition cost and transition problems, but in the end, it's going to be a beautiful thing. We're doing again what we should have done many years ago. We're letting it out of control.
Chicken truck, boys!
The bond auction went very well yesterday. We had a lot of foreigners show up, showing that the U.S. is still the best place to invest. The inflation report was quite good, and energy prices are down more than 20% since January 20th.
As I said, we've given 90 days, and the only certainty we can provide is that the U.S. is going to negotiate in good faith, and we assume that our allies will too. And in terms of certainty, we will see what China does. But what I am certain of, what I'm certain of is that what China is doing—
will affect their economy much more than it will ours because they have an export-driven, flood the world with cheap export models. And the rest of the world now understands because when we put up our tariff wall, those exports were already flowing to the rest of the G7.
He announced it on a tweet. WTF? Who's in charge? So look...
We saw the successful negotiating strategy that President Trump implemented a week ago today. It has brought more than 75 countries forward to negotiate. It took great courage, great courage for him to stay the course until this moment. And what we have ended up with here, as I told everyone a week ago, they are in this very spot. Do not retaliate and you will be rewarded.
But in terms of escalation, unfortunately, the biggest offender in the global trading system is China. And they're the only country who's escalated. And I can tell the rest of the world that I'm not sure whether it was the prime minister or the economic minister in Spain made some comments this morning. Oh, well, maybe we should align ourselves more with China.
That would be cutting your own throat.
As I said a week ago today, don't retaliate. Hold your ground. Let's see what happens. And China, they kept escalating and escalating. And now they have 125 percent tariffs that will be effective immediately.
In terms of certainty, we will see what China does. But what I am certain of, what I'm certain of is that what China is doing will affect their economy much more than it will ours because they have an export driven economy.
flood the world with cheap export models and the rest of the world now understands because when we put up our tariff wall, those exports were already flowing to the rest of the G7 and to the global south.
And all this was, again, this was driven by the president's strategy. He and I had a long talk on Sunday, and this was his strategy all along. And you might even say that he goaded China into a bad position. They responded. They have shown themselves to the world to be the bad actors. And we are willing to cooperate with our allies and with our trading partners who did not retaliate.
It wasn't a hard message. Don't retaliate. Things will turn out well.
They have some very smart economists, the academicians, technocrats within their bureaucracy, and they would be telling the leadership that we do not have the edge here. They are the surplus country. Their exports to the U.S. are five times our exports to China. So they can raise their tariffs, but so what?
It's definitely time for a change in Texas. We have another great U.S. Senator Ted Cruz, and it's time we have another great senator that will actually stand up and fight for Republican values, fight for the values of the people of Texas, and also support Donald Trump in the areas that he's focused on in a very significant way. And that's what I plan on doing.
I'm not happy with what's going on in the market today. He went on Tucker Carlson's show. But the top 10 percent of Americans own 88 percent of the stock market. The next 40 percent owns 12 percent of the stock market. The bottom 50 has debt. They have credit card bills. They rent their homes. They have auto loans. And we've got to give them some relief.
