President Donald Trump is more popular now than before he sent the global markets into a frenzy by enacting sweeping new tariffs. An exclusive DailyMail.com/J.L. Partners survey of over 1,000 registered voters conducted from March 31 to April 3 found that the Republican remains largely popular in the U.S. The poll found that Trump's approval rating rose to 53 percent, a 4-point increase over last week when it was 49 percent. Trump's rising approval rating is surprising given the flak the White House has received over the tariff order signed Wednesday. It is up by 13 points since March 7 among those aged 18 to 29.

Following PDJT's wise financial advice (use the current stock market to "get rich", i.e., buy stocks low, so as to sell high later), I added to my very modest holdings in Exxon, as "drill, baby, drill" gets going bigly. Even if I had no investments, it was a great revelation to see how other countries have used tariffs to cost U.S. hugely.

The ‘shock’ to the Media and the Left - sorry for the repetition is that he is doing as he says. The 77 million citizens who voted for him legally are not surprised.

Other countries have had tariffs and other non-tariff trade barriers against US products for 50 years. Time to even out the situation.

President Trump has been correct so often, I don't see any reason to doubt him now. I'm loving everything he's doing and can only hope the slackers in Congress, i.e.,...Republicans, quit sitting on their hands and help him out.

The stock market will recover, so keep an eye on your favorite stocks. The turn around may start as soon as this week on some stocks. Remember, Wallstreet always overreacts. Now they've had a weekend to think about it, and bargain hunters will be on the hunt.

Conservative Americans are smarter than the media and most liberals and democrats. We understand what President Trump is doing. Painful right now but I doubt many have read of the huge corporations moving back to this country bringing thousands of jobs with them. I guess all the 'celebrities' calling us stupid or dumb might not know what they're talking about after all. Big surprise!!

I got out of the stock market 3 years ago. At age of over 70 and stock's pay to price ratio totally wacco I saw no reason to remain in the gambling game when guaranteed 5% return was available elsewhere. Maybe I will get back in when the stock market hits bottom. For the younger crowd, don't worry it will come back.

Controversial tariffs? What’s so controversial about trade balance? America has been fighting uphill against half the world for decades. It’s about time someone leveled the playing field.

Tariffs isn't the goal. Getting other countries to DROP their tariffs and other artificial subsidies - that's the goal. From the media vitriol we're seeing, DJT is off to a good start.

When this four years of Trump is up, his popularity will have reached nearly 100% except for the insane and the criminals and we will wonder why people let Biden bring the country down so badly. People who complain about the tariffs don't realize that he is being more than fair, we could be punishing the whole world.

The stock market tracks the success of the same multinational corporations that packed up American manufacturing plants and shipped them, along with American jobs, to China and Viet Nam and South Korea, leaving dead and dying small towns all across the Midwest looking like bombed out shells of what they once were before the corporate betrayal of America. They wrecked the American Middle Class. No tears here for Wall Street.

Politico Reporter: 'Why Trump May Get

Posted by Dreadnought 4/7/2025 11:28:56 AM Post Reply
As most of the media projected doom and gloom kvetching over their predicted negative aspects of President Donald Trump's tariffs, there was a rather contrarian view on this subject from a very surprising source: Nahal Toosi, Politico's senior foreign affairs correspondent. She conceded that the tariffs could ultimately turn out to be successful as she wrote on Saturday in "Why Trump May Get Away With His Tariff Trauma." Has Toosi been somehow red-pilled? Not likely since as recently as last December she attempted via her reporting to get the incoming Trump administration hopelessly entangled in the Syria mess.

After much speculation, NYC Mayor Eric Adams said he will not seek the Democratic nomination for New York City mayor in June and will run instead as an independent. Adams made the call on April 3 in a video announcement, one day after a federal judge threw out the case for corruption against him. The mayor also admitted on a separate podcast that the "Deep State" is real and is responsible for the prosecutorial attacks on him and President Donald Trump. Former president Joe Biden's Justice Department charged Adams in September 2024 with taking illegal bribes from the Turkish government, which included luxury flights and hotel stays in Turkey. The scandal

BAGHDAD - Several powerful Iranian-backed militia groups in Iraq are prepared to disarm for the first time to avert the threat of an escalating conflict with the U.S. Trump administration, 10 senior commanders and Iraqi officials told Reuters. The move to defuse tensions follows repeated warnings issued privately by U.S. officials to the Iraqi government since Trump took power in January, according to the sources who include six local commanders of four major militias. The officials told Baghdad that unless it acted to disband the militias operating on its soil, America could target the groups with airstrikes, the people added.

Remember the Signal chat 'scandal'? Well, Iran doesn't these days, as both the New York Times and the Economic Times acknowledged over the weekend. The use of Signal for sensitive discussions was a mistake, but the policy and strategy employed by Donald Trump and his administration have already begun to pay dividends in Yemen -- and in Iran. In less than three months, Trump has turned the situation in the Red Sea entirely around, the Economic Times reported on Saturday. The deadly strikes on the Houthis in Yemen -- and Trump's public pledge to hold Iran directly responsible for Houthi attacks -- has Tehran

The New York Times seemed invigorated in its coverage of nationwide "Hands Off" anti-Trump protests on Saturday. The funniest part? The story by a trio of Times reporters had zero ideological labels -- no "liberal," "left-wing," "progressive," "socialist," you name it. Reporters Shaila Dewan, Minho Kim, and Katie Benner began with gush: They came out in defense of national parks and small businesses, public education and health care for veterans, abortion rights and fair elections. They marched against tariffs and oligarchs, dark money and fascism, the deportation of legal immigrants and the Department of Government Efficiency. Demonstrators had no shortage of causes

Barack Obama has called on US citizens, colleges and law firms to resist Donald Trump’s political agenda – and warned Americans to prepare to “possibly sacrifice” in support of democratic values. “It has been easy during most of our lifetimes to say you are a progressive or say you are for social justice or say you’re for free speech and not have to pay a price for it,” Obama said during a speech at Hamilton College in Clinton, New York, on Thursday.

Then as my colleague Mike Miller wrote on Friday morning, China lashed out with a 34 percent tariff on all U.S. goods entering the Middle Kingdom. Later on Friday morning, Trump shared on his Truth Social account that the administration is extending its reprieve of the U.S. ban on TikTok via a revised executive order, expressing hope of a "deal" being struck for the social media platform with connections to the Chinese

Donald Trump triumphantly celebrated a recent drone strike against Iran-backed Houthi terrorists in Western Yemen. The president posted video of the hit by U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) to his Truth Social page and delighted in the victory. He wrote: 'These Houthis gathered for instructions on an attack. Oops, there will be no attack by these Houthis! They will never sink our ships again!' The video, shot from the sky, shows a group of Houthis - one of several groups backed by the Islamic Republic of Iran - lining up before a gigantic explosion blows them away. Only two trucks can be seen as the smoke from the blast clears, presumably killing everyone down below.

Seoul, South Korea — South Korea’s highest court has removed embattled President Yoon Suk Yeol from office, ending months of uncertainty and legal wrangling after he briefly declared martial law in December and plunged the nation into political turmoil. The court’s decision on Friday marks Yoon’s formal dismissal from the presidency after parliament voted to impeach him late last year. His removal takes effect immediately, meaning he must now leave the presidential residence, and will trigger an election to replace him. It’s a remarkable fall from grace for the former prosecutor-turned-politician, who rose to prominence for his role in the impeachment and imprisonment of another president years

The wage gain is predicted by a New York Times article that described how cheap migrant labor helped a builder prepare a $2.65 million home for sale to wealthy Americans. Without immigrant workers, Mr. Anderson’s labor costs could jump by 17 percent, adding $116,000 to his budget, the article lamented: A shock to the labor market by a loss of workers through deportation and the fear of deportation could potentially drive up wages

Mystal is not an illegal immigrant (he was born in Queens, and his father was a prominent political figure in Suffolk County, New York—a legal Haitian migrant), nor does he have a student visa.

In a bold move that champions both economic growth and practical forest management, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced on Friday that it will greenlight logging in America’s national forests. This decision, spearheaded by USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins, follows President Donald Trump’s executive order last month aimed at revitalizing the nation’s timber industry. For Americans, this is a long-overdue step toward restoring common-sense stewardship of our natural resources while bolstering rural economies battered by years of overregulation and neglect.

The "scholars" leading the IUMS live safely in Qatar, not in the Gaza Strip, and they are therefore not directly affected by the war that Hamas launched.
