Donald J. Trump, the former President of the United States, took to his platform on Truth Social on April 13, 2025, to express his views on several significant issues. His posts address legislative progress, immigration policies, and international trade.
In a post dated April 10, 2025, Trump celebrated the progress of a key legislative initiative, referring to it as "The Big, Beautiful Bill". He expressed optimism about the collaboration among Republicans and described the bill as moving towards achieving the "Biggest Tax Cuts in USA History!!!"
Trump also addressed immigration policy on April 13, 2025, focusing on the topic of sanctuary cities. He conveyed his disapproval of these jurisdictions, stating, “No more Sanctuary Cities! They protect the criminals, not the victims.” He indicated plans to draft documents to potentially withhold federal funding from cities or states supporting sanctuary policies.
Trade policies and international relations were another topic Trump tackled on the same date. Trump emphasized the issue by stating that "NOBODY is getting 'off the hook' for the unfair Trade Balances, and Non-Monetary Tariff Barriers". He pointed out the ongoing trade tensions with China, clarifying that there was no tariff exception announced recently.
Sanctuary cities in the United States are jurisdictions with policies that limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement efforts, aiming to provide safe havens for undocumented immigrants.
