President Trump sat down with Laura Ingraham on November 10, 2025, to lay out a blunt, no-nonsense defense of his economic record and his broader America-first agenda, and the interview made clear he isn’t backing down from fights on policy or principle. He pushed back hard on the media and his critics, insisted the economy under his leadership is the strongest ever, and made his populist case directly to working Americans who feel forgotten by the coastal elites.
On inflation, mortgages and the Fed, Trump didn’t wobble: he blamed bad policy and weak leadership in Washington and at the Fed for rising costs and promised to hold officials accountable. That kind of clarity is exactly what voters who pay the bills want instead of the usual lapdog Washington doublespeak; he named names and refused to accept the political narrative that groans as policy.
When the subject turned to the shutdown and federal workers, including air traffic controllers, Trump called out those who walked away instead of standing firm during a crisis and even pledged a $10,000 bonus to those who stayed on the job — a bold, humane show of support for public servants willing to carry the load. Conservatives should applaud a president who talks straight about responsibility and rewards the people who actually do the work, rather than coddling excuses from the same class of bureaucrats who let services collapse.
On immigration and high-skilled visas, the administration has acted where Congress would not, issuing a proclamation on September 19, 2025, that slapped a $100,000 annual fee on H-1B applications and rolled out a millionaire “gold card” pathway. That dramatic move forces companies to choose American labor first and ends the steady undercutting of U.S. wages by cheap foreign labor — exactly the kind of disruption our economy needs to put citizens back on equal footing.
Of course, the beltway establishment howled: the U.S. Chamber of Commerce sued on October 16, 2025, to block the fee, showing once again that the business aristocracy will defend cheap labor whenever it boosts their bottom line. Conservatives should not be surprised when powerful interests side with globalists over American workers; this lawsuit merely exposes which side the so-called business leaders are really on.
Trump also floated what he called “Trump Care,” proposing to redirect subsidies into personal accounts so Americans can shop for insurance and negotiate for themselves, a market-oriented alternative to handing more corporate welfare to insurers. That pro-worker, pro-choice approach to healthcare empowers individuals instead of feeding the insurance complex, and it’s the kind of common-sense reform conservatives should champion as an antidote to Washington’s habit of inventing crises to justify greater control.
This interview made one thing plain: Trump knows how to fight for the forgotten middle class and he’s willing to use the tools of his office to get results, even if it riles every lobbyist and talking head in the capital. For patriots tired of polite compromise that leaves Americans behind, his bluntness and willingness to upend the status quo are not flaws but features of a leader who finally puts citizens first.
