Shiroi Kiba JutSu: 🇺🇸 Trump is Winning the Trade War

In partnership with

Happy Thursday, Patriots,

The so‑called "experts" swore Trump's tariffs would tank the economy. They were wrong—again.

Fresh Q2 numbers show U.S. GDP roaring 3% growth—shattering Wall Street's predictions and vindicating Trump's America First agenda.

This isn't just recovery—it's a reversal of Biden's failures: consumer confidence is soaring, manufacturing is rebounding, and inflation is flat.

Trump celebrated by urging the Fed to cut interest rates so families can refinance, buy homes, and keep winning.

Bottom line: Tariffs work. America's booming. And the haters have nothing left to say.

✅TRACKING TRUMP✅

Curated by Mike Luso

President Trump is making his critics uncomfortable once again, only this time, it's because he's proving them wrong. Many who have been vocal opponents of his economic policies are now openly acknowledging that he's delivering real wins, and that Americans stand to benefit from a series of well-planned moves. With new trade deals announced almost daily, the administration is focused on action over words - something rarely seen in Washington.

At the same time, President Trump is making strides to protect veterans from foreclosure and pushing healthcare forward through innovative technologies and higher industry standards. With so many important efforts unfolding simultaneously, it's clear this administration is moving quickly and effectively to make a meaningful difference in the lives of everyday Americans.

Check out all the latest developments and more below!

🕵️ Trump Finds Documents Hidden by FBI
FBI Director Kash Patel discovered multiple "burn bags" containing thousands of sensitive and classified documents related to the origins of the Trump–Russia probe, hidden inside a secret room at FBI headquarters. Among these documents was a classified annex to Special Counsel John Durham's report, revealing foreign intelligence indicating that the FBI may have advanced the Trump–Russia collusion story even before formally launching its investigation. Patel initiated the review of these materials soon after assuming his post, promising a wave of transparency and delivering the files to Senator Chuck Grassley for public release. The declassification process is being coordinated by several top intelligence officials, including CIA Director John Ratcliffe and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. The annex is expected to strengthen claims of a coordinated effort inside government to link Trump to Russia even ahead of 2016.

🩺 Trump Rolls Out Tech Initiatives on Health
President Trump unveiled new health-focused MAHA (Make America Healthy Again) initiatives, partnering with over 60 tech companies including Apple, Google, Amazon, and OpenAI to improve the sharing of electronic health information and to empower patients with greater control over their medical data. The digital push features AI assistants and new apps to help manage conditions like diabetes and obesity, streamline appointments, and replace paper forms with digital check-ins for Medicare and Medicaid services. Trump called the reforms a major upgrade to outdated systems and thanked major tech leaders for agreeing to industrywide standards for electronic medical records. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services will launch an app library to guide beneficiaries toward tools most relevant to their needs. Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz both emphasized that these collaborations promise a shift to speed, transparency, and better health outcomes for all Americans.

🏠 Trump Signs Law to Help Veterans Avoid Foreclosure
President Trump signed the VA Home Loan Program Reform Act to establish a permanent partial claims program for veterans facing foreclosure on VA-backed loans. The law lets veterans who have fallen behind on payments add what they owe to the end of their loans instead of immediately facing foreclosure. This program replaces the prior Veterans Affairs Servicing Purchase system and was designed to provide more robust protections for up to 70,000 at-risk homeowners. Trump signed the bipartisan legislation alongside House and Senate VA Committee leaders, with advocates noting it provides struggling veterans a crucial path to keep their homes and supports agencies serving homeless veterans. The bill was widely welcomed as a sustainable, long-term solution to help veterans avoid losing their homes.

🏨 Trump Criticizes Luxury Hotels for Migrants
Speaking aboard Air Force One, President Trump condemned taxpayer spending on placing migrants in luxury hotels while American citizens, including veterans, face financial hardship and housing insecurity. Trump remarked that migrants are "put in the best hotels anywhere in the world," with some stays costing thousands of dollars per night, while many U.S. citizens "live from hand to mouth" or are homeless near these same hotels. He pointed to New York City, where taxpayers have spent billions sheltering over 232,000 migrants since 2022, sometimes even displacing prior bookings. Trump described seeing veterans sleeping on sidewalks outside hotels converted into shelters for newly arrived migrants, calling the situation "no good." Recent reports have linked migrant hotels in Manhattan to gang activity and federal investigations, adding further controversy to the program.

🔔 Trump is Winning the Trade War 🔔

President Trump's recent string of successes, including a landmark trade deal with the European Union (EU), is compelling even longtime critics to acknowledge that his strategies are producing tangible results across multiple areas. The breakthrough EU trade agreement, finalized at Trump's Scotland golf course, came after months of intense negotiations and looming threats of steep tariffs, ending with a consensus to impose a 15% tariff on most European goods instead of the originally threatened 30%.

This compromise secured commitments for $600 billion in EU investments and $750 billion in American energy purchases by 2028, effectively avoiding a potentially devastating trade war. Former Clinton adviser Dan Turrentine described the trip as an "absolute success," citing the Europeans' eagerness to reach an agreement, while Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick called it a "monster" achievement for American farmers, ranchers, and businesses.

Economic indicators reflect this progress. Quarterly GDP growth stands at 3%, and inflation has retreated from high levels seen during previous administrations despite concerns that tariffs might impede expansion. At a recent policy event, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent pointed to strong economic momentum, crediting Trump's policies with creating what he called a "winning streak" that is expected to continue. Bessent also detailed President Trump's baby accounts initiative, a new program designed to supplement Social Security payments and provide a boost to future retirees' financial security. The Environmental Protection Agency under Trump's leadership is actively rolling back previous restrictive regulations, focusing on energy independence and economic growth rather than maintaining the radical green policies of past years.

Even commentators who have been critical of the president acknowledge these accomplishments. Bill Maher referenced Trump's tariff policies during discussions on the economy and trade talks, noting the president's significant influence on global commerce. Despite often hostile coverage from outlets like The New York Times, analysts concede that the fundamentals of the economy have improved, driven by Trump's trade and fiscal strategies.

Bret Stephens, a New York Times columnist known for his criticism of Trump, recently conceded that the president's performance is "much more successful than expected," highlighting Trump's re-energizing of NATO commitments, decisive stance on Iran's nuclear ambitions, and the recalibrated approach to the Russia-Ukraine conflict emphasizing arms deliveries rather than direct confrontation.

This shift in perception reveals that policies once deemed risky or contentious have started to produce measurable benefits. Trump's approach to trade, national security, and economic reform is reshaping both international relations and domestic prosperity in ways that challengers cannot easily dismiss.

While political opposition remains, the core outcomes of Trump's leadership are receiving recognition for their effectiveness. The world is watching as President Trump builds on these advancements, navigating a complex global landscape and solidifying his impact through practical results rather than rhetoric.

President Trump on Wednesday said that the United States will begin imposing 25% tariffs on goods imported from India on Aug. 1.

🍟 Quick Bite News 🍟

🏦 Senator Rand Paul said he supports abolishing the Federal Reserve if the United States also stops deficit spending and adopts a balanced federal budget, though he admitted he does not expect that outcome soon. Paul argued that with no deficits, a private market clearinghouse could replace the Fed, with supply and demand setting interest rates rather than government intervention. He criticized both parties for inconsistency on deficit concerns and has introduced legislation to audit the Fed and end its authority to pay interest on bank reserves.

⚖️ The Trump administration has begun rolling back what it calls Biden's "lawfare legacy," with new antitrust officials moving to withdraw or review dozens of lawsuits filed in the last month of the prior administration. The FTC, now under Chairman Andrew Ferguson, is prioritizing economic analysis and aims to refocus efforts on cases against predatory monopolies, especially Big Tech, rather than pursuing broad, ideologically-driven legal campaigns. Trump's Department of Justice expects further withdrawals of pending cases and says the goal is to restore the rule of law and shift away from partisan litigation against major companies.

🧑 A group of Democrats led by Rep. Jamie Raskin, represented by a firm linked to the Soros network, has filed suit against President Trump and his administration, alleging obstruction of congressional oversight at immigration detention centers. The lawsuit claims Trump's Department of Homeland Security is blocking members of Congress from accessing facilities and information about detainees, impeding verification of reports of inhumane treatment. Raskin and his group argue that these actions violate federal law and their constitutional duty for oversight, pledging to pursue transparency in court.

📉 A Senate committee advanced Senator Josh Hawley's bill to ban members of Congress, future presidents, and vice presidents from trading stocks, though Hawley was the only Republican on the panel to support it. The bill sparked debates over whether its implementation should exempt current officeholders, particularly President Trump, with Hawley amending the effective date so Trump would not be subject to the ban. Republican critics, including Senator Rand Paul, called the legislation poorly written and warned it could discourage successful private-sector leaders from seeking office.

🏟️ Executives with the Washington Commanders are reportedly concerned that failure to restore the team's former Redskins nickname could jeopardize their proposed $3.7 billion new stadium, due to pressure from President Trump. Trump has criticized the team's current name in multiple social media posts and has suggested he may use the federal government's leverage over the stadium's land lease to force a change. Team owners have told associates they may have to comply to secure support for the stadium and avoid possible White House intervention in the deal.
