The Federal Reserve is sounding alarm bells about President Trump’s tough new tariffs, but hardworking Americans know this is about standing up to China. Fed Chair Jerome Powell claims the 10% universal tariff will spike prices and hurt growth, calling it “unprecedented” with no “modern playbook” to respond. Yet Trump’s tariffs are a necessary defense against countries that have exploited America for decades.
Powell admits these tariffs could push inflation higher while slowing the economy—a dangerous combo. But the Fed’s answer? Keep interest rates sky-high, making loans pricier for families and small businesses. This isn’t helping Main Street. It’s punishing everyday Americans to protect Powell’s ivory tower reputation.
The tariffs target over 60 nations, with China and others hit even harder. Prices on cars, phones, and everyday goods will rise, but that’s the cost of rebuilding American manufacturing. Trump isn’t backing down from global bullies—he’s forcing them to play fair. The Fed’s doom-and-gloom predictions ignore the long game.
Businesses are nervous, but that’s because coastal elites fear losing their cheap overseas labor. The Fed’s own surveys show collapsing consumer confidence, yet they blame Trump instead of failed globalist policies. Real leadership means short-term pain for lasting gains. The Beltway hates that.
Powell claims he’s “waiting for evidence” before cutting rates. Translation: He’d rather let families struggle than look like he’s cooperating with Trump. The Fed’s obsession with “independence” is really about resisting accountability to voters. Trump’s right to demand action—Americans need relief now.
Yes, inflation might tick up temporarily. But remember the 1980s? Reagan stared down inflation with grit, not weakness. Trump’s tariffs are shaking up a rigged system. The Fed’s job is to adapt, not whine about “uncertainty” while China laughs all the way to the bank.
Democrats and media elites scream about economic collapse, but they’ve opposed every pro-America trade move since 2016. Meanwhile, Trump’s tariffs are already bringing factories back to Ohio and Texas. The Fed’s warnings reek of swamp politics—protecting Wall Street over workers.
President Trump isn’t backing down. Strong trade deals take courage, and the Fed’s handwringing won’t stop this administration from putting America first. History will show who stood with the forgotten men and women—and who clung to failed globalism. The clock’s ticking, and patriots are watching.
