Remember when the mere mention of “Trump tariffs” sent the Democrat establishment and their media mouthpieces into a five-alarm meltdown? They shrieked “trade wars!” They wailed about skyrocketing prices for everyday Americans, painting grim pictures of economic collapse. You’d have thought the sky itself was about to fall, all because President Trump had the audacity to suggest that maybe, just maybe, American industries deserved a fair shot.

Oh, the prophesies of disaster were loud and frequent! We were told global supply chains would crumble, businesses would shutter, and we’d all be bartering for breadcrumbs. It was a full-court press of negativity, designed to scare everyone away from common-sense policies aimed at putting American workers and American businesses first. But, as conservatives know, sometimes you have to ignore the noise from the cheap seats.

Well, buckle up, buttercups, because the latest news from the front lines of American industry paints a rather different picture. According to a recent report from The Post Millennial, it seems those tariffs are not only not causing the apocalypse, but they’re actually giving U.S. manufacturers a much-needed shot in the arm. Imagine that – policies designed to help America actually helping America!

You Mean Protecting American Companies… Works? Shocking!

It’s a tough pill for the globalists to swallow, but small and midsize U.S. manufacturers are reportedly seeing a “spike in new orders.” Why? Because businesses are, quite sensibly, looking to avoid those newly imposed tariffs on foreign goods by, get this, buying American! One such company, Jergens Inc., a tool manufacturer, is apparently so busy they’re “running 24 hours a day, seven days a week.”

Jack Schron, the president of Jergens, didn’t mince words, stating his Ohio and Illinois factories are “going like gangbusters.” The Post Millennial, citing The Wall Street Journal, highlighted his success:

From ‘The Wall Street Journal’ (via The Post Millennial):

“We are swamped. We are running 24 hours a day, seven days a week in both Chicago and Cleveland.”

This isn’t some ivory tower economic theory; this is real American enterprise humming along, thanks to policies that prioritize our own. It’s almost like when you stop letting other countries eat your lunch, you have more lunch for yourself.

Leveling the Playing Field for the Big Guys Too

It’s not just the smaller operations feeling the benefits. Even larger manufacturers are seeing the upside. Take Whirlpool, for instance. They produce a whopping 80 percent of their U.S. appliances right here at home. They’ve argued, quite rightly, that Asian competitors had an “unfair edge” because import tariffs from Trump’s first term expired back in 2023, allowing those competitors access to cheaper Asian components.

Whirlpool’s CEO, Marc Bitzer, told analysts that “The tariffs will finally help create a level playing field.” While the company anticipates a slight 2.4 percent increase in its own costs due to tariffs on some components it uses, they plan to manage that through smart expense cuts and price adjustments. See? American ingenuity at work, adapting and thriving, not crying into their cornflakes.

But What About the Professional Worriers?

Now, the article does mention that the “Trump administration has defended the tariffs as a strategy to revitalize US manufacturing, despite critics warning the policy could lead to higher prices for American consumers.” And yes, there’s some “uncertainty” causing hesitation among some manufacturers, like Mr. Schron, about expanding hiring too quickly for fear the tariffs might be “rolled back.”

This just underscores the need for steadfast, conservative leadership that won’t buckle to the globalist chorus. A little bit of uncertainty is natural when you’re course-correcting decades of bad deals. And if the biggest “concern” is that American factories are too busy, well, that’s a high-class problem we’ll take any day over watching our jobs ship overseas. The goal, as stated, is to “revitalize US manufacturing,” and it seems to be working.

So, while the liberal economists scratch their heads and the Democrat pundits try to spin this, the truth is clear: President Trump’s America First approach to trade isn’t just talk – it’s delivering real results for American businesses and workers. This is what happens when common sense meets strong leadership. And that, Americans, is what winning looks like.

Key Takeaways:

• Trump’s tariffs boost U.S. manufacturing orders, proving “America First” policies work.
• American companies report booming production and fairer competition under new tariff structures.
• “America First” economics are revitalizing U.S. industry, silencing critics with real results.
