Donald J. Trump, the former President of the United States, shared a series of statements on his social media platform, Truth Social, regarding economic and international affairs. The comments have sparked discussions about current U.S. policies and international relations.
In a post dated April 7, 2025, Trump remarked on the state of the economy. "Oil prices are down, interest rates are down (the slow moving Fed should cut rates!), food prices are down, there is NO INFLATION, and the long time abused USA is bringing in Billions of Dollars a week from the abusing countries on Tariffs that are already in place." The post reflects his views on tariffs and economic conditions in the U.S.
Another post on the same day addressed trade relations with Japan. Trump stated, "Countries from all over the World are talking to us. Tough but fair parameters are being set. Spoke to the Japanese Prime Minister this morning. He is sending a top team to negotiate! They have treated the U.S. very poorly on Trade. They don’t take our cars, but we take MILLIONS." This message highlights ongoing trade negotiations and his perspective on trade imbalances.
In a follow-up post, Trump called for decisive action to achieve national greatness. He wrote, "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!). Be Strong, Courageous, and Patient, and GREATNESS will be the result!" This statement emphasizes his call for bold leadership and policy changes.
