Remember when Obama & Koch-funded guys like Peter Schiff said there's no way to bring business back to America? They were wrong. President Trump’s SAVE AMERICA plan is working already and the CCP is crumbling.
American manufacturers are seeing a surge in demand as President Trump’s tariffs force companies to reconsider doing business in China.
Trump’s tariffs on Chinese goods are causing American-made products to be more competitive in the market. As a result, many small and medium manufacturers are experiencing a surge in demand and are preparing to ramp up production and hire new workers. The Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post report:
Jergens Inc., a midwestern toolmaker with less than 500 employees, says it’s “going like gangbusters” trying to keep up with demand. They are seeing an influx of orders from customers trying to avoid import tariffs.
“We are running 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We are swamped.”
Grand River Rubber & Plastics, a plastics and rubber manufacturer in Ohio, says customers that once offshored to China are reversing course. Two buyers who left years ago returned within days of each other and two new oil filter manufacturers have already placed orders. Their business is already up 10% in one month.
Employees for Massachusetts-based AccuRounds are working overtime to accommodate rising orders for the company’s shafts, valves and other steel components. The company recently added two customers that had shifted business from AccuRounds to suppliers in Singapore and China in recent years. First-quarter sales were 20% higher from a year earlier, said Chief Executive Michael Tamasi.
Michigan-based Whirlpool, which assembles 80% of its U.S. appliances at domestic factories, says its Asian competitors have had an unfair advantage, as they manufacture their appliances overseas but haven’t been paying import tariffs on them since 2023, when one imposed during Trump’s first term expired. Those rivals’ access to cheaper components and steel in Asia helps give them a $150 retail price advantage on washers, Whirlpool says. Chief Executive Marc Bitzer said the latest tariffs on imported assembled appliances should help close the price gap.
At the local Excel Dryer plant, William Gagnon, the chief operating officer, said tariffs have been nothing but good news for them. By making foreign goods more expensive, the tariffs make their American-made products competitive while also discouraging Americans from purchasing cheap Chinese copies of Excel’s hand dryers.
TRUMP: “Jobs and factories will come roaring back into our country, and you see it happening already. We will supercharge our domestic industrial base. We will pry open foreign markets and break down foreign trade barriers. And ultimately, more production at home will mean stronger competition and lower prices for consumers.”
BESSENT: "The president's signature tax legislation will prevent an enormous tax hike on Main Street by making the small business deduction permanent. It will also provide tax credits and deductions for research and innovation to stimulate investment in high-tech operations."
"The real idea is to make sure that innovators can innovate and steelworkers can have the same quality of life and opportunity, and their kids could be the Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, or they can stay and have the same life or better that their folks had in Pittsburgh."
"We will restore 100% expensing for equipment while expanding that incentive to new factory construction. The objective: to accelerate investment in American industry, and to make that investment as seamless and rewarding as possible. President Trump has embraced an ambitious deregulatory agenda. This includes expansive permitting reform, a president who doesn't want to just 'drill, baby, drill,' he wants to 'build, baby, build.'"
In the meantime, the CCP has actually STOPPED PUBLISHING financial information - and has likely been lying about their economy for almost 20 years. It's all smoke and mirrors.
All it took was for President Trump to shut off the flow of American money for cheap Chinese imports to show just how bad it really is.
BESSENT: Tariffs are working. China is in free fall. Factories are closing. CCP officials are ‘disappearing.' There are empty cargo ships loitering around ports. Protesters are demanding that Xi step down. Millions are out of work. Time is running out.
CHANG: A year ago, Xi Jinping thought he was the boss of the world. Now, he has lost control of his own country. China is on fire, and there is little Xi can do except try to buy some more time. Christmas season for Chinese factories is coming soon, and they could end up with no purchase orders from the U.S. The lack of orders would put enormous pressure on Xi Jinping to run up the white flag.
Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission Zhang Youxia, China’s No. 1 uniformed officer and an adversary of Xi Jinping, is effectively running the People’s Liberation Army. Xi, from most indications, has lost control of the most important faction in the CCP. Workers across China are not being paid, and many have been laid off. They are now taking to the streets and the CCP is trying to hide evidence of those protests.
President Trump now has more influence over China’s future than Xi Jinping. The American president, with the power of tariffs, gets to decide whether the Chinese economy recovers or not, in other words, whether the regime survives or not.
TRUMP: We don’t have to waste money on a trade deficit with China for junk that we don’t need.

Finally, remember that ‘imports‘ REDUCE the economic equation called Gross Domestic Product. GDP is the valuation of all goods and services produced in the USA *minus* the value of imports.
In the first quarter 2025, importers cranked up shipments before Trump's tariffs kicked in. So GDP actually ROSE - not dropped. Koch stooges, who want open borders, like Rand Paul & Peter Schiff, are lying about this - GDP is going UP under Trump, NOT down.
It's the same word salad they use regarding tax cuts. Tax cuts are called SPENDING when they actually result in GROWTH. Don’t let them fool you with fake words. Investment in America is high and MAGA is working.
