We will overcome. China and the rest of the world needs to understand that we are sick and tired of being there personal piggy bank. Bring our manufacturing back will make America stronger and less reliant on any country in the world. And with that the world will then realize that with God is our savior, we will be successful. Stand strong on the wall, invite others and trust in God. šŸ™šŸ˜‡šŸ™

It is a shame that we ever became so utterly dependent upon China to manufacture our nation’s goods. I applaud President Trump for having the backbone to stand up to these communist bullies. The only people who are overreacting, as usual, are the Stock Market and the liberal media. I frankly have no respect for either. OK, in the short term, adjustments will happen. This is inevitable. In the long run, our nation will remain stronger, and America will once again have a manufacturing base which is central to our economy. Thank You Jesus

It will take time to calm the storm of resistance, confusion, and uncertainty that the Trump Administration’s DOGE and other bold actions have created among the lefty culture. I know this was God’s plan, and He appointed the Trump Administration to work His plan at this time in history.
Thank You Lord!

Trump exposes the unfair trade practices and those benefitting from them cry instead of responding constructively. The sooner America become self sufficient the better. We should never be held hostage again with regard to our energy, food, healthcare and technology needs by other countries, especially our enemies.
