Aside from Congressional Democrats, there’s widespread agreement among the American people that the failed status quo in Washington must be confronted immediately. There’s also agreement that navigating our country around the economic iceberg that is rapidly approaching after decades of bad policy decisions is not a task for the faint of heart. During the 2024 presidential race, President Trump campaigned on implementing the difficult but necessary reforms that have been “punted” by weak-kneed career politicians and was elected by historic margins because he has a record of keeping his promises. And nearly 80 days into his second term, Donald Trump the steel-spined change agent is busy bringing common sense back to America to change our downward trajectory before it’s too late.

No one with any credibility can argue that our $36 trillion national debt can be ignored, that our trade agreements are fair, or that allowing an enormous tax increase is sound policy. And because he listens to the American people intently, President Trump is laser focused on dealing with these three consequential issues once and for all to supercharge our economy both in the short term and for future generations. Taking on entrenched power is never easy, but entrenched power has never butted heads with a fearless visionary like Donald Trump.

The radical left is trying to block President Trump’s fiscally responsible spending reforms and Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) cost-cutting recommendations at every turn, but he won’t be deterred. On taxes, Democrats are employing garden variety class warfare tactics, but Trump knows that every American is taxed too much, and people deserve the certainty that comes along with making low tax rates permanent. And regarding the issues of trade and tariffs, President Trump will never bow to concocted media hysteria or hollow threats from powerful self-interested elites who can’t fathom a much-needed change in direction. He believes deeply – and happens to be 100 percent correct – that America has spent decades entering into trade deals that put our country at a strategic disadvantage on the world stage. Americans are grateful that we finally have a leader with the guts to look out for millions upon millions of working families who have been struggling to get by for far too long.

The American people are more than willing to be patient with President Trump’s reforms because they understand how badly previous leaders let things veer off track. Folks understand this president’s language, like when he says that America needs to go in for a long overdue medical procedure and the recovery won’t happen overnight. Trump’s reciprocal tariff policy – simply charging countries the same amount that they charge us – has drawn the expected response from those riding the gravy train, but we’re already starting to see the president’s grand plan in action with over fifty countries lining up to make deals. For example, the European Union is reportedly offering a “zero for zero” tariff deal and Israel, Japan, India, Vietnam, Taiwan, and Indonesia – to name a few – have all indicated they are ready and willing to negotiate new agreements with President Trump.  Instead of premature hyperventilation over daily stock market ups and downs and astroturf drama to drive clicks, ratings, outrage, and division, Democrats and their allies in the mainstream media should consider rooting for American success for a change.  It wasn’t so long ago that liberals would line up to fight for the working class.

These early moves by reasonable nations stand in stark contrast to Communist China. The CCP seems eager to start a trade war with the United States instead of acknowledging what everyone else already knows – that they’ve taken advantage of flawed U.S. policy for years and President Trump is now working to level the playing field. By choosing a course that is fraught with peril, China is running the risk of exposing itself as a bad actor on the world stage by refusing to act in good faith for the benefit of all peaceful nations. The CCP needs to understand that they don’t have Barack Obama and Joe Biden to kick around anymore.

It will take time for some to get used to a president who puts America first again. Regardless of how hard the decisions are or how well-funded the opposition to saving America is, President Trump is going to plow forward with his robust economic plan because he realizes we can’t kick the can down the road any longer. Whether it’s tackling spending and debt, tariffs and trade, taxes and regulations, or the size and scope of the federal bureaucracy, this president is the perfect leader to handle it all in short order. President Trump understands better than most that time is of the essence and that he was made for this moment.

David N. Bossie is president of Citizens United. He served as deputy campaign manager for Donald J. Trump for President in 2016.
