Shapiro Host: Trump Promised You “Economic Pain”

“Trump did not run in 2024 on making the market reach record highs immediately again. [This is a lie.] That’s not what he ran on. He ran on tariffs. He ran on bringing back American industry. He ran on necessarily raising the cost of certain goods, imported goods to help rebuild the American industrial base. [Also a lie.] He ran against the globalist economic order. OK. He ran with full knowledge and consciousness that that will necessarily cause some economic turmoil in the short term.

“To undo the economic and political and social damage of the last thirty, forty years is going to cause some tension, some pain. The market might not react all that well to it. Trump campaigned on that. He knows that’s what he’s signing up for. So my read on the situation is he’s not gonna get spooked by a bad headline or two. He’s a sophisticated political thinker, no matter what his enemies think. [A laughable lie.]

“And he knows that in order to be a consequential president for one, to have a serious legacy, and in order to actually fix the problems, not just the symptoms of the problems, but the root economic, political, and social problems, he’s got to make big changes, and he’s gotta be able to withstand that storm.” – Daily Wire host Michael Knowles.
