Trump isn’t just fixing the country, he is also setting Republicans up for major wins.
🔥 “Big, Beautiful Bill” Will Protect American Jobs, Says Trump
Speaking at a packed National Republican Congressional Committee fundraiser Tuesday night, President Donald J. Trump made it crystal clear: America First policies are making a comeback—and stronger than ever.
“We’re going to win the midterms, and it’s going to be a tremendous, thundering landslide,” Trump declared. “We’re bringing back jobs, rebuilding American industry, and standing up to China like no president ever has.”
With the 2026 midterm elections on the horizon, Trump told House Republicans that his latest tariff measures against China will serve as a rallying point for voters fed up with inflation, outsourcing, and weak leadership under Joe Biden.
📈 Trump’s Tariff Plan: GOP Wins, Trump Wins, America Wins
On Tuesday, President Trump announced a massive increase in tariffs—an additional 50% on top of last week’s 54%, creating a 104% total tariff on Chinese imports. The tariffs are set to go into effect at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday.
Why it matters: These tariffs are designed to protect American manufacturers, level the playing field for U.S. workers, and reduce our dangerous dependence on foreign markets.
In short, it’s a bold strategy aimed at economic security—and it’s already making waves in both Washington and on Wall Street.
🧱 “You Don’t Negotiate Like I Do,” Trump Fires Back at Weak Republicans
Not everyone is on board. A few GOP lawmakers, including Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) and Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), are backing a bipartisan bill that would strip the President of tariff powers unless Congress approves them within 40 days.
Trump didn’t mince words.
“These countries are calling me up, kissing my ass,” he said to loud applause. “And then some rebel Republican wants to grandstand and hand power back to Congress? I don’t think so. You don’t negotiate deals like I do.”
🗳️ Trump: “We’re Going to Expand Our Majority in 2026”
With Republicans currently holding a narrow 220–213 edge in the House, Trump believes the midterms will shift the balance even further.
“There’s no reason we shouldn’t expand our majorities. The American people are with us—they see what Joe Biden and the Democrats have done to this country.”
From rising gas prices to the open border crisis, many voters—especially older Americans—are feeling the pinch. Trump’s team is betting that a return to strong, decisive leadership will resonate with seniors, veterans, and working families across the heartland.
⚠️ Democrats Push Back: “This Is Chaos”
Democratic leaders are already trying to weaponize the tariffs. Rep. Suzan DelBene (D-Wash.) warned that the plan could lead to higher prices and foreign retaliation.
“This is chaos, dysfunction, and the president implementing tariffs with no plan,” she said. “It’s not over yet.”
But for millions of Americans watching their retirement savings shrink, dealing with rising grocery costs, and worrying about their economic future, Trump’s tough-on-China stance might just be the solution they’ve been waiting for.
