President Trump gets another amazing title!
President Donald Trump has been given a surprising new title by one of his closest former advisers. According to Larry Kudlow, Trump’s top economic adviser during his first term, the 45th President isn’t just a champion of tariffs — he’s actually a “true free trader” who wants to end unfair foreign trade practices once and for all.
In an exclusive interview with Pod Force One host Miranda Devine, Kudlow revealed that Trump’s ultimate goal has always been a world without trade barriers, where American workers and businesses finally get a fair deal.
“Donald Trump is a free trader. Absolutely,” Kudlow declared. “I’ve had long, deep talks with him about this for over ten years. His vision is a world of zero tariffs and fair competition.”
Trump Fights Back Against Unfair Foreign Trade
For decades, Trump has warned that foreign nations like China and India have been ripping off the United States through bad trade deals and sky-high tariffs.
During his 2024 campaign, Trump famously said, “The word tariff is the most beautiful word in the dictionary.”
Now, months into his historic second term, Trump has raised tariffs to the highest level in over 100 years. His goal: bring jobs back to America, rebuild U.S. manufacturing, and stop foreign nations from exploiting our economy.
Kudlow admitted that he once opposed tariffs but changed his mind after seeing the shocking imbalance between U.S. trade policies and those of foreign countries.
“I used to believe in traditional free trade,” Kudlow said. “But Bob Lighthizer [former U.S. Trade Representative] showed me just how bad the numbers were. While we charged tiny tariffs, countries like China and India were hitting us with massive rates. It wasn’t fair — and Trump was right to fight back.”
A Broken System Trump Is Determined to Fix
Kudlow explained that the idea of a fair global trading system hasn’t existed since the brief period after World War II, when the U.S. helped rebuild its allies.
Since then, the global economy has been “broken for decades,” allowing foreign nations to take advantage of America’s generosity.
But Trump is turning that around.
Over the summer, his administration secured key trade deals with several of America’s most important partners. Negotiations with China and India are still underway — and Kudlow says they’re already proving Trump’s strategy works.
“The so-called global retaliation never happened,” Kudlow said. “Instead of running to China, businesses rushed to invest in the United States. Trump knew our massive economy was our ultimate weapon.”
Why This Matters for American Families
These trade victories aren’t just about economics — they directly impact American families and seniors.
Higher tariffs on foreign goods help:
- Protect U.S. jobs in manufacturing and farming
- Lower dependence on foreign nations, especially China
- Strengthen Social Security and Medicare funding by boosting tax revenue
- Reduce inflation by bringing production back home
For older Americans living on fixed incomes, Trump’s policies could mean lower costs and a stronger retirement future.
Trump’s Winning Strategy
Kudlow believes Trump’s tough approach will ultimately lead to a better deal for America, even if the path forward has some challenges.
“There will be ups and downs,” Kudlow admitted. “Sometimes there will be tariffs, sometimes there won’t. But President Trump is well on his way to a big victory for American workers and families.”
As Trump reshapes global trade, his message is clear: America will never again be taken advantage of by foreign powers.
Bottom Line
President Trump’s bold trade agenda is already delivering results. By standing up to China, India, and other nations with unfair practices, Trump is restoring America’s economic power and putting American workers first.
For conservatives across the country, this fight is about more than trade — it’s about defending our way of life and ensuring that future generations inherit a stronger, more prosperous America.
