There is some interesting information within the video of President Trump aboard AF-1 as he returns from Florida. However, one of the more interesting aspects comes around 05:39 when asked if he was thinking about extending the tariff pause beyond July 8, 2025.
As noted by President Trump, very firmly, no. There is no reason to extend the deadline for reciprocal tariffs beyond July 8th for any country not in direct negotiations as of that date. Trump intends to just send them a letter outlining the applied tariff rate and that’s it. Done is done. WATCH:
This firm date is why India has extended their negotiation team in Washington DC, and is also the reason why Europe is coming Thursday. The baseline tariffs are done, everyone pays 10% regardless of a FTA or not. The reciprocal tariff rate will be applied to those without an FTA effective July 9th.
[The EU (who wants a trade deal now) is eventually going to align with Canada (who will need a trade deal later). This factors into the current trade dynamic and looms over the decision making.]
Post July 9th, President Trump moves on to other important geopolitical matters with the tariffs as an ancillary weapon for adherence to the new international trade alignment. Those who want to benefit commit to the U.S. dollar as the trade currency (that’s the reason for India’s announcement today), and trade preferences are then used to shake up the geopolitical alignments. Watch for how this plays out with Trump’s planned UK visit.
From there, and after the gnashing of teeth settles down, later in the summer President Trump then triggers the USMCA renegotiation phase with Mexico and Canada. President Trump is essentially ambivalent to the pleas from nations who want to continue their trade imbalance. This sequencing and outline appears clear; but let’s watch and see what happens.
More winning,!
Thank you God

As Sundance has been consistent with…. Economic policy is #1 to trump, and we hold all the cards. I’m here with popcorn and gratitude. Tariffs are the best leverage. See: Canada.
Love it.
Love this picture!
I recently had a discussion with a very smart Engineering consultant who about to start construction on a custom home here in Texas I asked how tariffs would affect his business, and learned he was most concerned about Canada, because “we get a lot of lumber from them and it’ll affect the cost of his home.” I informed him that we don’t need their lumber and grow top quality lumber here in Texas and all across the USA.
Lumber?
The lands comprising the United States is more heavily forested then it has been for centuries prior. Whereas much of the world was being deforested in that time frame.
So heavily forested in fact that it needs more active management to control the fuel load that feeds those massive wildfires, but I digress.
Seem to recall that much of this lumber comes from Washington and Oregon. Both States placed moritiums on cutting lumber. ‘ Been some time, and this may have changed, but given the States involved, I don’t think that’s likely somehow.
I’m sure that the Pacific Northwest used to supply a lot of lumber, paper and other wood products to neighboring States. Similarly with Maine.
A lot of what used to be farmlands in the northeast in the 18th century now has old growth forest.
There are places where you can still find old stone walls marking the once fields in Maine.
Have him look up Weyerhauser……..:)
Arkansas – white and yellow pine
also the facilities that treat the lumber
Go to SE AR (Dierks, DeQueen and south to Texarkana) and see lumber and mills everywhere
There has been a grand master plan in place. Why was, IMO, when the tariffs introduced, was that called Liberation Day?
It was today’s version of the Declaration of Independdnce. Stating the rejection of the people’s enslavement to the E.U/globalist/Swift banking system. A declaration of war, for the God given rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of rallies against a tyrannical system. Whose most recent goals were to defeat the 2 leaders, who agreed in 2017 in Helsinki, the true enemies were the London City elite bankers who had formed an alliance with China, and the U.N. Resolution 2030, to destroy nationalist countries defi ed by language and culture, with those targets being Russia and the U.S., led by Trump and Putin.
There plan after Trump lost the stolen election of 2020, was to degrade American military strength, and bankrupt the U S., and use the U.S. to use its military hardware ti defeat Russia, and bankrupt us through our financing not only the war; to finance Europe’s military protection at our expense. and degrading Europe’s and U.S. economies through climate change mandates. That also explains the abandonment of military hardware in Afghanistan. And that is why after removed, the U.S. military, at our expense, was used to defeat Russia.
But Truml returned, keeping his promise to Putin, to defeat the evil in Europe, through reducing US participation of Ukraine involvement, imposing tariffs while foring Europe’s expenditures to cover their own defense and run their own governments. This while also fixing their plan of creating a new global CVD financial system, to replace currencies.
Why does Trump want the BBB signed by the 4th. To declare victory and Independence, to have the means to see through his establishing the U.S and the economic powerhouse. But more importantly, to Constitutionally start the mass indictments and arrests, who attempted to remove the Constitution and it’s citizen rights, and restoring a Constitutionally run government of limited Federal powers, and the restore it and have justice for those who intentionally tried to I destroy the government of the People, By the People, and For the People, so help us God! The return of the People as Masters, not the elected elite for their own gain. Hallelujah! Glory be to the MLord, and His servant DJT.
Only voice. Utube same.

Goolag can jump in a flooded creek.
Long overdue. Gonna need a big shove

Here’s the playing one .. never seen PDJT looking like he really has been lacking sleep – black circles around eyes and hair all damp and limp behind both ears from the heat
Done is Done, send the bill.
Just like construction, the project is done, time to get paid.
I wish Pops and his twin brother were here to see this.
Ditto. I wish I had one percent of PDJT’s determination!
You do.
Good. Canada and Mexico need to be taught a lesson. DONT MESS WITH THE DONALD!
Meanwhile in Mexico across the border from El Paso a horror house with 400 decaying corpses has been found.
The gruesome discovery also opened the door for closure to the families of hundreds of people who have been missing in the city known for cartel violence.
During the Biden years, many migrants waiting for legal entry into the US were often kidnapped or went missing.
Claudia Sheinbaum should clean up her own country first
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14866031/nearly-400-bodies-clandestine-crematorium-US-Mexico-border-Juarez.html
Mexico and Snow Mexico, lol.
Sounds like a scene out of that movie Sicario….
This discovery shows why Sheinbaum is playing a losing game of chicken with President Trump. She’s in power thanks to a pact with the devil’s minions: the cartels. When you strike a deal with the devil, you owe him your soul. But the devil’s minions? They’ll come for your family’s souls first. Sheinbaum knows she can’t risk her loved ones disappearing, only to be found in another house like this one.
Sicario wasn’t just some Hollywood fantasy, it was rooted in the cartels’ real-life brutality. In fact, the movie had a scene eerily similar to this recent find.
Sheinbaum’s desperate to keep her soul intact for now, so she’ll run her country into the ground to appease the devil’s minions. All she’d have to do is let the U.S. military treat these designated terror organizations as what they are, and this could all be over. But she sold her soul, and the cartels are calling the shots.
😳 😳 😳
She has no power to do so. The cartels will dictate to her what will be done.
The positive side of all the “Taco Don” nonsense is that nobody listens to what Trump is saying plainly. A lot of people are going to be surprised in a week or so !
They probably expect his deadlines to be as firmly set as Obama’s “red line” to Syria’s Assad.
Change is extremely difficult for the “we have always done it this way” crowd.
No quarter to India or Europe-they’d stick us and siphon every bit of our wealth any chance they get, if allowed. And I hope he tells the Brits to reclaim their heritage. Talk about a population in need of leadership and a pep talk. I read the most depressing note today on the state of affairs over there published on The Catholic Thing (if you know the blog/newsletter). But it’s nothing we haven’t been reading for years. We want our brothers and sisters in the “home countries” to stand up!
Love The Catholic Thing. I read it every day. Very informative.
He looks exhausted in this photo.
Retired Magistrate here: I’m exhausted just reading about everything he has done in the last 10 days and he is 2 years older than I am.
He is a man on a mission and is trying to get all of his campaign promises completed as quickly as possible.
Same here!
He gets more done in a day than I can in a week!
Saving the free world can probably be pretty stressful at times.
The heat. No tie, shirt looks damply crumpled. It’s the heat, not the beat.
Praying for PDJT’s health.
Prayers up for him.
Even if Trump isn’t form he has the advantage
Firm
And he has God….
I posted this on another thread about Europe. This is why.
Please forgive me for reposting, Sundance.
Thinking about picking up the July 10 SPY $610 puts—curious what you all think.
Here’s the setup: tariffs are scheduled to go back into effect on July 8, ending the 90-day pause Trump announced back in April. Last time tariffs actually went live—on April 2—the market got smoked. SPY dropped about 3.5% intraday, and the broader S&P lost nearly 10% in just two sessions before rebounding when the tariffs were paused on April 9.
Fast forward to now—SPY is back at all-time highs, around $617. The market seems to be assuming either another delay or that tariffs don’t matter. But if they go into effect on schedule, we could see a sharp pullback like last time.
I’m not trying to call a crash. I just think there’s a real shot at a quick 1–2.5% drop or a volatility spike that could reprice risk fast. If SPY drops just 1.2%, that’s a move to $610. A 2.5% drop like April 2 would land SPY around $602–$605. That’s why I’m looking at the July 10 $610 puts. They give me:
A defined-risk position (I only lose the premium)
A realistic payoff zone based on historical price action
Enough time to be right—if the drop is delayed by a day or two, I’m not forced out
The premium’s reasonable, and the $610 strike gives me enough proximity to catch the move without overpaying for delta. It’s not a YOLO trade—I just think this is a clean way to express a short-term view without going full short.
By no means am I advocating to do this. I would love to hear thoughts.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Day trading or anguishing over unrealized capital gains/losses is not my thing. I’d rather have land than stock. At least I can use land, the entire time I own it.
Land is truly a limited commodity. However, unless some of these anti-property tax issues get passed, you are only renting from the government.
Thanks. I actually keep a very conservative portfolio with no stock exposure at all.
This is not about short-term speculation. It is about how far removed Wall Street has become from both policy risk and economic reality.
The tariffs will hit the global corporations that spent decades offshoring production and depending on complex foreign supply chains. The 90-day pause was not to protect them. It was time for domestic producers to realign and reshore.
The Wall Street “experts” appear to have misread the pause. They assumed it signaled weakness or retreat. Some even mocked it by calling Trump “TACO” (Trump Always Chickens Out). Think about it. That nickname became popular after the April reversal when he paused tariffs for Main Street to realign supply lines and the market surged. Traders started treating it like a cycle they could front-run. But that kind of thinking reflects market naivety, not insight. The chick (Anne Marie Holden) from Bloomberg even called it the Trump Put.
The July 8 reset brings policy back into the real economy. The fun thing is that we know Trump is not a bluffing. Those taking a defined-risk position is not so much a gamble when it is obvious the “experts” don’t see way the blind spots in a market that still thinks it lives in the old playbook.
But I agree with your investment strategy.
Have a great day.
Go for it.
There is waaay more downside than upside to S&P over the next 9 days.
A 3-5% drop is almost a sure thing.
Just be ready to sell quick before it shoots back up.
Stop loss order is all that’s needed.
The market is so manipulated it is difficult to make sense of it.
Seems to be run by demented cat ladies reacting to ghosts.
Wife works in the market with old money and they just roll with it.
Any country that doesn’t take seriously President Trump’s deadlines should ask Iran about it.
bingo….. dead right
President Trump is 100% right in this audio. The reason all of these countries will not make trade deals that are fair with the US is that they are so used to the USA acting like pansies for 30yrs and pillaging our country for 30 yrs. They do not want to negotiate a fair deal with America because they know with a fair playing field the USA will eat there lunch. These countries our mourning that those 30 yrs of glory days of globalism are over.
I am so glad that President trump is finally starting to say that Obama was a horrible president and that W Bush was lousy also.

TOUGH SH!T
The US is sick of graft by NGOs and sick of bankrolling third world sh!tholes~!
The real hostage situation is the trillions stolen from American workers to fund foreign bureaucracies.
The Protect U.S. National Security Act (H.R. 1196), Section 3(a), proves Congress prioritizes globalist handouts over domestic needs – mandating endless cash flows to USAID while our cities decay.
The Supreme Court’s 2025 ruling blocking aid freezes exposed judicial activism protecting international grift.
Let’s be clear: every dollar sent overseas under the guise of “humanitarian aid” is a dollar not spent securing borders, cutting drug costs, or rebuilding infrastructure.
Washington’s addiction to foreign spending isn’t compassion – it’s a racket.
The solution? Full audit of all aid programs, immediate redirection of funds to American priorities, and dissolution of agencies that put globalist agendas above taxpayers.

“COULD” being the operative word. Supposition is still media’s strong suite. Read carefully and always question.
Saw a tweet or post somewhere earlier this morning reporting that the PM of India said that he was staying with the U.S. dollar and not a BRICS+ currency to compete with the U.S. dollar.
Then later on, on some other news site, read that the leader of China, Xi, will not be attending the BRICS+ summit in Brazil this year, the first time he has never attended a BRICS+ meeting.
Russia’s leader, Putin, said he is not attending the BRICS+ summit in Brazil because somehow the Judge in Brazil says that the nation must honor an international arrest warrant that had been issued against Putin.
President Trump’s moves are actually realigning the entire world order, setting things up for future generations to not have to deal with the all the baggage ours, and earlier generations, created. At least, it sure looks that way.
world
Karoline Leavitt holds up a chart of the World Central Bank Rates
So, essentially, BRICS has now become BS. 🤣
Basic questions:
1. Was it $85 Billion was recently collected in tariffs, a high number which surprised some.
Is this per quarter, or per month?
2. The di minimus (?) import fee that was recently updated by President Trump – eliminating the no fee for ‘small’ packages imported into the USA.
Do we have any idea how much it brought in?
We know he loves his taco bowls, but VSG PDJT is likely to be snacking on some chili con Carney.
I honestly could not make out some of the verbiage, yet I think I understand.
Trump’s ‘big, beautiful bill’ clears final hurdle before House-wide vote
The House Rules Committee has teed up President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” for a chamber-wide vote Wednesday after a nearly 12-hour-long session debating the massive piece of legislation.
It now heads to the entire chamber for consideration, where several Republicans have already signaled they’re concerned with various aspects of the measure.
Just two Republicans voted against reporting the bill out of committee – Reps. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., and Chip Roy, R-Texas, conservatives who had expressed reservations with the bill earlier on Tuesday. No Democrats voted to advance it, while the remaining seven Republicans did.
The majority of Republican lawmakers appear poised to advance the bill, however, believing it’s the best possible compromise vehicle to make Trump’s campaign promises a reality.

I really don’t know what else to say at this point other than…
FAFO!
You’re no longer dealing with some half-with politician that talks a big game. This is PDJT, you’d better learn the lesson quick or else learn the acronym BOHICA!
Times Up
MAGA FABULOUS!!
👊👊❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🏻🙏🏻
This is what saving our country from ruination looks like. God bless and protect President Trump.
Just have to share a quick laugh with you Sundance
You ended the commentary with one of our great President’s favorite expressions..”let’s wait and see what happens”.you made my day 😄
These countries react with feigned horror at the thought of having tariffs imposed on them. But, do you remember that “schedule of tariffs” that Trump was showing-off a few months ago? That was 50% of the rates those countries impose on us!
“Fair’s fair.”
How soon do we see activists in different countries arise after the FTA’s are signed (Zohran Mamdani types) to rail against the US and specifically the heads of state who signed the agreements? An easy platform for some communist until they’re elected.
Now if we could just get Jay Powell out of there….
“The baseline tariffs are done, everyone pays 10% regardless of a FTA or not. The reciprocal tariff rate will be applied to those without an FTA effective July 9th.”
Sure…the goalposts are always moving with this tariff situation. Might as well try to eat soup with a fork.
Trump, firm, and tariffs should not be used in the same sentence based on the last six months.
Before Trump can say this, he needs to remember that his Big Beautiful Bill has not been passed yet. Trump needs to work on that fact before making more noise about tariffs. Just my opinion, based upon nothing except that things have to be done one a a time in our sorry excuse for a Congress. Most of those clowns don’t even understand the bills they vote on. Nor do they understand the taxation and political repercussions whenever they do get around to voting. Trump needs to help Johnson across the finish line on this.
great man
President Trump, he looks tired. Pray for him, he is only one man. Every person can push themselves everyday, there is a limit that your own body can take.
