Unveiling the plan, Trump declared: “We’ve been waiting for a long time. April 2, 2025, will forever be remembered as the day American industry was reborn, the day America’s destiny was reclaimed, and the day that we began to ‘Make America Wealthy Again’.”
He continued, “For years, hard-working American citizens were forced to sit on the sidelines as other nations got rich and powerful, much of it at our expense. But now it’s our turn to prosper.”
Calling it the beginning of a “golden age of America,” Trump stated, “It’s coming back.”
For context, tariffs are taxes imposed on imported goods, meaning that American companies purchasing those goods from abroad will bear the cost of the new taxes.
Following the announcement, global stock markets reacted sharply, triggering concern. But Trump urged Americans to remain calm and firm.
“The United States has a chance to do something that should have been done DECADES AGO. Don’t be Weak! Don’t be Stupid! Don’t be a PANICAN (A new party based on Weak and Stupid people!),” he wrote.
“Be Strong, Courageous, and Patient, and GREATNESS will be the result!” he concluded.
