Posted April 5, 2025 – Y’all ever notice how the media twists every good thing our country does into some doom-and-gloom story? Bless their hearts, it’s like they’ve got a PhD in “If It Ain’t Broke, Let’s Pretend It Is!” For years, other nations slapped tariffs on American goods like we were running a charity—and yet, the minute President Trump and conservative leaders finally said “Enough!” and fought back, suddenly we’re the bad guys? That don’t sit right with me.
Let’s talk common sense: tariffs are like a gate on a fence. If your neighbor’s cow keeps eatin’ your grass, you don’t just hand ‘em a free bale of hay—you build a gate and say, “Partner, if you wanna trade, let’s make it fair.” For decades, America played nice while China, Europe, and others taxed our products sky-high. Now, we’re just matchin’ their play. And guess what? It’s already workin’. Factories are comin’ home. Jobs are comin’ back. And for the first time in a long time, America’s standin’ up for herself instead of footin’ the bill for the world.
Sure, the media’s cryin’ “Trade war!” like a toddler who lost his juice box. But y’all remember—short-term pain for long-term gain built this country. Our grandparents sacrificed through rationing and hard work so we could thrive. Now it’s our turn to make sure our kids don’t grow up in a country that’s been hollowed out by bad deals and empty promises.
So next time CNN or MSNBC tells you tariffs are “hurting Americans,” remember: they’ve been wrong about everything from Reaganomics to Trump’s economy. The proof’s in the paycheck—wages up, unemployment down, and our flag flyin’ proud again. That ain’t an accident—it’s leadership.
Here’s the truth they won’t tell ya: America’s greatness was never built on shrinking from a fight. It was built on folks who rolled up their sleeves, trusted their gut, and knew the best days were ahead. And they still are.
So raise a sweet tea to common sense, grit, and a president who ain’t afraid to put America first.
