One of the most significant aspects to President Trump’s administration was the trade and economic team he assembled to drive the “America-First” Main Street resurgence we saw on display throughout the four years in office. Readers will note, there was no turnover of personnel in the trade and economic team, because they were the priority, the fulcrum of the Trump Doctrine. One of the key people driving the America-First agenda was Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross.

President Trump’s trade and economic team were laser focused on bringing back domestic Main Street economics as the foundation of our economy. That approach put Wall Street multinationals at a policy disadvantage. No-one without an interest in U.S. economic security was allowed a seat at the Trump table.
Policies and practices that supported made in the USA domestic manufacturing and industry were the prism through which all actions taken by the Trump administration were viewed. The massive growth in U.S. jobs and wages was a result. We also had an unprecedented period of deflationary pricing. Things were, well, economically astoundingly good for American workers.
As a direct consequence China, Europe and ASEAN partners who had their foothold in the U.S. economy were weakened. This made the U.S. (Wall Street) multinational corporations -who rely on outsourcing, offshoring and raw material export- very angry. The exfiltration of American wealth was halted by Trump. There were trillions at stake, and many enemies were made because of the America-First agenda.
“This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.”
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
Today, the Italian government announced similar measures with their “green pass” to force vaccinations upon the Italian people if they wish to participate in social functions that interact with other people.
