New Trump Tariffs Spark Global Outrage — But It's Time America Put Itself First

By [True American Voice] | August 1, 2025 In a bold economic move that has both allies and adversaries fuming, President Donald J. Trump has announced sweeping new tariffs on imports from over 90 countries — including Canada, India, Switzerland, and South Africa. With tariff rates ranging from 10% to 41%, this decision has triggered a global backlash and market turbulence. But while the mainstream media panics and foreign governments complain, one thing is clear: America is finally fighting back.

Why These Tariffs Matter

These tariffs aren’t just symbolic. They're strategic economic weapons, deployed in defense of American workers, industries, and sovereignty.

According to the White House, the tariff hikes are designed to:

  • Curb unfair trade practices

  • Protect domestic manufacturing and farming

  • Counter foreign currency manipulation

  • Rebalance trade deficits

  • Encourage onshoring and economic nationalism

Critics call it a trade war. We call it economic self-defense.

The Global Reaction: Tears from the Globalist Class

As expected, the globalist elite, mainstream economists, and liberal world leaders are melting down.

  • Canada called the 35% tariff on lumber and metals “an attack on friendship.”

  • India decried the 25% tax on pharmaceuticals and textiles as “colonial in tone.”

  • The European Union hinted at retaliation, but with sluggish economies across the bloc, their leverage is weak.

  • Switzerland, which had quietly benefited from U.S. trade imbalances for years, is also on the list — now facing a 39% tariff on luxury watches and precision machinery.

But while the international community may object, the only interests that truly matter are American.

Economic Fallout or Course Correction?

The corporate media is in full panic mode. “Recession!” they cry. “Global instability!” “Markets collapsing!” But here’s what they won’t tell you:

  • The U.S. economy is still resilient

  • Wall Street’s short-term dips are largely due to fear-driven speculation — not fundamentals

  • Job numbers, while slowed, remain stronger than in many G7 nations

In fact, these tariffs are long overdue. For decades, America has played the “nice guy” in global trade — lowering its defenses while others undercut our industries, steal our IP, and flood our markets with subsidized junk.

It’s no coincidence that Trump’s America First agenda is the only thing that’s ever put countries like China and India on notice.

The Double Standard

Let’s not forget: every major country uses tariffs to protect its industries. China does it. The EU does it. Even Canada restricts American dairy and agriculture exports.

But when America does it — it’s suddenly a problem?

This is the hypocrisy of globalism — where the U.S. is expected to foot the bill, open its markets, and sacrifice its workforce in the name of “cooperation.”

Trump’s move breaks that pattern. Finally.

Political Impact: Bold Moves Win Elections

With 2028 in sight, this tariff strategy is more than just policy — it’s political power.

Trump is doubling down on the same America First message that won him the White House twice. By attacking the trade deficit and putting U.S. jobs first, he's delivering on promises that career politicians ignored for decades.

This boldness resonates with working-class Americans across the Rust Belt, the South, and beyond — voters who remember what manufacturing towns looked like before NAFTA and WTO globalization gutted them.

Final Thoughts

These tariffs are not just about dollars and cents. They’re about sovereignty, strength, and strategy.

Foreign powers will always cry foul when America starts playing to win. The global elite will always side with “international consensus” over national self-interest.

But Trump isn’t here to make friends. He’s here to make America great — again.

So yes, the globalists are mad.
Yes, the markets are rattled.
And yes, the media is screaming.

That means the policy is working.
