A top Democrat just admitted the unthinkable.
In a rare moment of honesty, Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman — one of the few Democrats willing to speak plainly — acknowledged that President Donald Trump’s tough trade stance is delivering results.
When asked by Fox News Digital whether Trump’s trade war strategy was paying off, Fetterman replied: “Absolutely.”
“I’m a huge fan of Bill Maher,” Fetterman said, referring to the liberal TV host. “Even he admitted the tariffs didn’t tank the economy like we thought they would.”
Fetterman even conceded that Trump’s tough negotiations with the European Union are “going well” — a blow to Democrats still clinging to the globalist playbook.
Trump Gets Tough on Canada Over Fentanyl Crisis
President Trump is once again putting America First — this time taking on Canada over its failure to stop the flow of deadly fentanyl and other illegal drugs.
Starting Friday, tariffs on Canadian goods will jump from 25% to 35% after Trump signed a new executive order targeting countries that are enabling America’s border crisis. The White House confirmed the move is aimed at holding Canada accountable and curbing the drug epidemic devastating American communities.
Another executive order signed the same day recalibrates tariffs across several nations — part of Trump’s broader push to eliminate unfair trade practices and restore economic sovereignty.
Massive Trade Wins: Trump Scores Big with Europe and Japan
Since the new tariffs took effect in April, Trump has delivered major victories for American workers and manufacturers.
- 🇪🇺 European Union Deal: $750 billion in U.S. energy purchases, $600 billion in new American infrastructure investments by 2028, and a 15% tariff rate accepted by the EU.
- 🇯🇵 Japan Trade Agreement: $550 billion pledged to U.S. industry, expanded access to Japanese markets, and a baseline 15% tariff rate.
These are the types of pro-America trade deals voters demanded in 2016 — and President Trump continues to deliver in 2025.
Democrats Panic, Predict Economic Doom
Despite clear results, Democrats are still trying to tear down Trump’s success.
- Sen. Jack Reed (D-RI) warned of looming price hikes.
- Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) falsely compared tariffs to a national sales tax.
- Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) bizarrely blamed Trump’s trade strategy for the Fed’s interest rate decisions, claiming Americans are paying more on mortgages and car loans due to “chaos.”
Warren even claimed that U.S. trading partners no longer trust America — a clear projection of her party’s own failures during the Biden years.
Republicans Rally: Trump’s Strategy Is Working
Top GOP voices are pushing back — and standing tall with President Trump.
- Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) called the tariff strategy “the right approach” and blasted Democrats for “rooting for the economy to fail.”
“It’d be nice if they put their hatred for Trump aside and helped American workers for once,” Cruz said.
- Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) praised Trump’s trade deals and called for long-term goals of reciprocal zero tariffs.
“Let the best product win,” Kennedy said. “That’s free enterprise — and that’s America.”
Conclusion: Even Democrats Can’t Deny It — Trump’s Tariffs Are Working
Senator John Fetterman’s comments show the tide is turning. Despite media fearmongering and Democrat obstruction, President Trump is building real trade victories — not just headlines.
With strong tariffs, booming investments, and powerful negotiations, Trump is restoring American greatness — one trade deal at a time.
