As the mainstream media, the Wall Street Journal (which is part of the mainstream media), Wall Street investors and world leaders freak out about President Trump’s tariffs, the rest of us in middle America just watch you all and scratch our heads. Again.

What are you all freaking out about? Do you really think We the Sane are worried about this? After what we’ve all been through for the last four years? We have a lot more to worry about than whether or not your Dow Jones Investments stay at a 100% profit for you. And…a tariff war? I doubt it.

This is about class. And you don’t have any.

The top 10% in wealth and income in the United States owns 93% of the stock market. That’s a fact.

The lower 50% of earners in the U.S. own 1% of the stock market, mostly in their 401(k)s. So stay calm and stop whining and freaking out, because you 10%-ers don’t represent the rest of America. We realize the Stock Market is important and we all want to succeed, but your panic is not justified.

When Donald Trump came into office in 2017, the Dow was at 19,000-ish. Even with Covid lock downs, it increased in value a whopping 65% under Trump’s first Administration. Under Joe Biden, it gained another 15,000 points. So, since 2017, investors in the Dow have doubled their investment values – the Dow going from 19,000 pts. in 2017 to it’s current value today of almost 38,000 pts. And now you want to freak out because your profits are down to 90% of what they were before the tariffs went into effect a few days ago.

Forgive us if we choose to sit this panic cycle out.

Middle America may empathize with you, but we hardly think it’s time to have a breakdown. We recognize this sort of frenzy by now. It’s self-induced. So please sit down and stop screaming.

President Trump is doing what no other president in our history has been willing to do for us – the Middle Class. You know, the backbone of the American economic engine? Remember us?

What he is doing is imposing RECIPROCAL TARIFFS. Reciprocal. Every country in the world has been living off of our backs. And finally, he is protecting us. If Europe and their $500 Billion trade surplus wants to continue to charge us for importing our goods, then we will do the same to them. Canada’s trade surplus with the U.S. is $100 Billion. Mexico has a $177 Billion surplus, not including the $63 Billion/year in remittances – the money Mexican migrants make here, then send home to their families in Mexico, many of whom do so while on government assistance here:

We are $37 TRILLION in debt. $7 Trillion of that was spent by the Biden “Administration” (The Regime). And finally – FINALLY – someone is willing to uncover all the corruption and at least cut the reckless spending-ad-nauseum. I mean, if you want something to freak out about – there you go! As Congress has obsessively spent our money like a bunch of maniacal, drugged-out sailors on meth!…I’ve been freaking out about that! And so has the rest of middle America. We are sick and tired of you serial spenders, addicted to spending money out there in D.C. as the average American worker has to work January through April for “free” – just to pay for your insanity. Just stop it, already. You’re sick and you need help. And the chemotherapy America needs to save itself from you is: Donald Trump.

And now you want the rest of us – the workers who have slaved to make you rich – to feel sorry for you or believe in your hysteria?

That’s just laughable.

President Trump has secured some $4-5 Trillion in new investments in the United States. This will produce hundreds of thousands of new American jobs. Here are some of the committments made since Trump took office:

From Newsweek, Nick Mordowanec, March 21, 2025:

“Multiple companies are still putting big money into the U.S. economy.

Nvidia: On Thursday, the White House announced that chipmaker Nvidia would invest hundreds of billions of dollars over the next four years in U.S.-based manufacturing operations.

Johnson & Johnson: On Friday, Johnson & Johnson announced manufacturing, research and development, and technology investments of more than $55 billion in the U.S. over the next four years. They say it represents a 25 percent increase in investment compared to the previous four years under President Joe Biden, crediting an increase in investment levels to the 2017 Tax Cuts & Jobs Act. Also on Friday, the company broke ground on a 500,000-square-foot biologics manufacturing facility in Wilson, North Carolina.

SoftBank: On Monday, SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son visited Trump at Mar-a-Lago and announced a $100 billion investment over the next four years with a promise to create 100,000 jobs focused on artificial intelligence and related infrastructure, according to CNBC.

United Arab Emirates: After a meeting with Trump, the United Arab Emirates committed to a 10-year, $1.4 trillion agreement with the U.S. that will sustain existing investments in AI infrastructure, semiconductors, energy, and American manufacturing, according to Reuters.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company: Semiconductor giant TSMC announced earlier this month in response to Trump’s tariffs threat on foreign chips that it would invest another $100 billion into its U.S. operations. The anticipated new chip fabrication plants, two advanced packaging facilities, and a new research and design center will increase the company’s total investment in Phoenix to $165 billion—the largest foreign direct investment in U.S. history.

In January, Trump announced a $500 billion private investment in AI infrastructure led by OpenAI, Oracle and SoftBank.

Apple: Tech giant Apple announced a $500 billion investment.”

In addition to penalizing countries who had pre-existing tariffs on our goods, discouraging their nations from buying from us, President Trump has secured the commitments from the above list of companies for business investments inside the U.S., creating new American jobs. It also helps us bring the supply chain back to America for especially necessary goods like pharmaceuticals. We currently buy 90% of our pharmaceuticals from India and China. And if there’s one thing we’ve learned through Covid, it’s that we cannot trust China with our critical needs.

This is a link to an excellent article from prosperousamerica.org: https://prosperousamerica.org/skyrocketing-pharmaceutical-imports-to-the-u-s-endanger-national-security/

…and here is a chart from the site of how our dependence on imports for our pharmaceuticals has been increasing and how that endangers our national security. Which is another thing that we FINALLY have someone in the White House caring about:

So, in addition to finally charging other countries reciprocal tariffs – matching what they have been charging us for a long time – which will increase our income, reduce our hideous national debt, bring back supply chains for all types of goods, and create hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of new American jobs; we also have a president who is taking Congress to task on their reckless spending spree, announcing it’s over, as well as a team who is simultaneously revealing and cutting all of the insane government corruption and wasteful spending.

The horror!

So, no, Wall Street Journal and mainstream media – we don’t cry for you and your self-inflicted panic at only having a 90% profit increase instead of having your profits doubled. Sorry.
