Good comment on this X post
Hear My Voice X: Trump’s tariffs are a win for sovereignty, and they’re a direct hit to globalists! Historically, tariffs like those in the 19th century "American System" built U.S. industry by prioritizing domestic growth over global trade schemes. Now, Trump’s policies are unraveling the globalist "rules-based order" by curbing their exploitative trade practices, forcing the EU to scramble as their centralized control weakens. Globalism takes a hit when nations reclaim economic power
Good rebuttal to above thread. I added this because this Xer quotes the thread above.

This entire post is a smooth-sounding, pseudo-sophisticated takedown of tariffs dressed up as monetary theory. It’s not completely wrong — but it’s dangerously incomplete, historically dishonest, and blind to the real structure of global power.
“Tariffs won’t save America. The enemy is big government.” Wrong. The enemy is hollowed-out sovereignty, enabled by globalist trade regimes, financialization, and a fake “free market” that’s neither free nor fair.
“The dollar system is a privilege — and tariffs threaten it.” False. The dollar’s status isn’t based on trade deficits. It’s based on Global energy settlements (petrodollar system), U.S. military and geopolitical dominance, Deep capital markets, Institutional trust (for now). In the 1940s–70s, the U.S. ran consistent trade surpluses — while still holding the global reserve currency. The Bretton Woods system wasn’t built on deficits. It was built on industrial dominance + dollar trustworthiness. Running a deficit to maintain dollar supremacy is a modern con — not an economic law.
“Tariffs are monetary coercion.” Correct — and that’s the point. Welcome to statecraft. You think China respects us because we let them dump garbage into our ports for 0% tariff? You think Germany will stop running surpluses while underpaying for NATO unless we apply economic leverage? Tariffs are leverage. And leverage is what you use when people take your generosity and laugh in your face.
“Markets dropped! That’s proof tariffs don’t work.” Markets are paper. Real nations are built on steel, labor, and food. Reagan’s 1980s Voluntary Export Restraints (Japan - autos) Triggered short-term market panic, Forced Japan to build Toyota/Honda plants in the U.S., Created hundreds of thousands of jobs in Ohio, Kentucky, Alabama, Indiana, Still thriving today. Trump’s 2018–19 tariffs on China Pushed supply chains out of China, Led to increased investment in Vietnam, India, Mexico — AND in U.S. states like Texas, Arizona, Tennessee, CHIPS Act, semiconductor reshoring followed the policy shock. Yes, Wall Street whined. No, the economy didn’t collapse. In fact, blue-collar wage growth outpaced white-collar growth in 2019 — for the first time in years.
“You can’t reshore jobs — it’s all automation now.” Another libertarian red herring. You’re right — tariffs alone aren’t the full answer. But you also can’t cut taxes and deregulate your way to industrial power if your market is flooded with underpriced imports from slave labor economies. You can’t revive national production if you let your own market become a global dumping ground. Tariffs are the firewall. Industrial policy is the engine. Education and labor reform are the fuel.
"The Enemy is the Big Government" Spare me. The real enemy is The fusion of global capital + weak state leadership, A financial elite that offshores production, privatizes profits, and socializes the costs, A political class that lets foreign nations set the rules, Government is a tool. You either use it for your people, or you get used by someone else's. America First doesn’t want “big government.” It wants a strong nation. And there’s a difference.
Trump’s “Mar-a-Lago Agreement” (as they call it) isn’t monetary sabotage. It’s economic realism — a recognition that free trade without fair trade is suicide. So yes, it’s bold. Yes, it’s coercive. Yes, it will rattle the globalists. That’s exactly the point. Because this time, we’re not going to be the cheap labor colony for the world’s export empires. We’re going to be sovereign, strong, and self-sufficient — with an industrial base to match our flag. You want real prosperity? You start by producing something real. And you defend it like your future depends on it — because it does.

When I heard he had died, I had the strangest feeling that I thought he had died a few years ago.

🚨VAL KILMER DEAD?! I feel like this is some Mandela effect stuff going on!
Am i losing my mind? OR did Val Kilmer die a few years ago right after Top Gun 2 was being filmed??
I even remember an article of Tom Cruse talking about how he felt like he was filming his funeral in the movie then for it to actually happen shortly after filming the scene.
I remember even seeing a tribute to him because he had died shortly after filming the scene with Mavic where Val has to type on a computer to talk...
Maybe i am losing it... 🤷♂️
