[COPY] Trump proves, again, he can not be bought.
May 14, 2025
Dear Patriot,
Monday morning at 9:30, President Trump had an extraordinary and historic press conference.
He signed an Executive Order doing what hundreds of politicians have promised us for two decades: lower the cost of prescription drugs. It was an in-your-face throw down to every drug company, who charges Americans 50-80% more for drugs than they charge anyone else on earth.
President Trump has more courage than any person we can think of at the moment. He is going after the largest, richest and most aggressive lobbying cartel in Washington.
The drug companies have literally bought off everyone who might question or regulate them; including all of the Fake News, hospitals and doctors.
It is impossible to articulate the massive political pressure there is against doing this. But, Trump and RFK are doing it.
Trump is also following President Reagan in talking over the heads of the Fake News. The best way to get news now is to watch it live. The presser on Monday was amazing and well worth your time to hear in full, directly from the president and his team about this issue and many more. Plus, Trump is always funny!
We are often asked what are the best news sources. Frankly, they are all in the podcast lane or X/Twitter. But, the best way to get your news about the country is to listen to Trump’s press conferences.
You can watch Mondays event here.
After signing the EO, Trump and the team hopped on the jet for a long trip to Saudi Arabia, where Trump was feted like beloved royalty. There were more American flags and songs in Saudi Arabia than at ANY Democrat event. Trump signed a $142 billion arms deal as part of a broader $600 billion investment agreement.
Today, we have captured some information that, while being mentioned, is not getting the attention or praise it deserve.
Tariffs have produced great results already.
Pesky inflation continues to fall.
More jobs and manufacturing.
Speaking of jobs, Biden lied.
Everyday, Americans are safer.
1- No president has ever worked harder and faster for the American people than Donald Trump. Trump has a plan and he is working the plan.
Meanwhile, what is our worthless GOP majority Congress doing for Americans?
Absolutely nothing.
It is hard to discern the worst group of anti-Americans: the Congress, the Democrats, the Fake News, or radical leftists judges.
Meanwhile, Trump marches on doing amazing things.
Revenue From Tariffs Hit Record High as Government Posts Second Biggest Budget Surplus in History In April
QUOTE: Trump’s trade tariffs brought in a record $16.3 billion in April, helping slow the pace of U.S. deficit growth even as overall federal spending continues to outpace revenue. A new temporary deal with China may reduce that revenue in the months ahead.
Key Facts:
• Tariff revenue hit a record $16.3 billion in April 2025, up from $8.2 billion in March.
• Total customs duties from October 2024 to April 2025 reached $59.2 billion.
• The federal government posted a $258 billion surplus in April 2025, a 23% increase from April 2024.
• The FY 2025 federal deficit stands at $1.049 trillion as of April 30, up 22.7% from the same point in FY 2024.
• The U.S. and China agreed to temporarily reduce tariffs, lowering U.S. duties from 145% to 30% for 90 days.
When Trump imposed tariffs, the media and Democrats warned it would wreck the economy. They were wrong.
The data shows a huge boost in customs revenue that helped deliver a $258 billion surplus in a single month. That kind of impact doesn’t come from guesswork—it comes from leadership and bold policy.
For years, experts claimed tariffs would backfire and hurt the American consumer. Instead, we’re seeing fiscal gains and trade leverage, not economic chaos.
The same people who said we’d face a recession are now watching as America negotiates trade deals from a position of strength. This temporary tariff easing with China is a strategic step. If China fails to hold up its end of the deal, the tariffs can go right back up—America holds the cards now.
