✅TRACKING TRUMP✅ | Curated by Mike Luso | Hey Team! π | π₯ Buckle up—Karoline Leavitt just lit up the briefing room. | When a "reporter" claimed illegals were being deported for wearing the wrong clothes, she didn't flinch: "That's not true… Have you talked to the agents risking their lives to stop foreign terrorists?" | Then she dropped the mic: "Shame on YOU and the media for covering for these killers." | Clayton made a phenomenal video about this, so check it out! | More on this story below! | In today's email: π Japan confident despite tariffs π£️ The UK free speech crisis π‘ Karoline Leavitt SNAPS | | | | | π TARIFFS: Lear Corporation is considering moving parts of its manufacturing back to the U.S. in response to President Trump's new 25% tariffs on imported cars and auto parts. The move aims to reduce tariff-related costs and protect profit margins as global supply chains come under pressure. CEO Ray Scott said the company's modular systems make U.S.-based production feasible, though the transition could take years. Nearly half of a U.S.-made vehicle is still sourced from overseas, complicating the cost-benefit equation for domestic relocation. Lear's decision reflects a growing trend among manufacturers rethinking global operations under Trump's America First trade policy. | π―π΅ JAPAN A recent survey by Nikkei revealed that nearly half of Japanese CEOs plan to increase their investments in the United States, despite concerns over President Donald Trump's proposed tariffs on automotive imports. Specifically, 28.3% of executives from 144 major Japanese corporations intend to expand their U.S. operations, with an additional 20.5% considering similar moves. The primary motivations include boosting production capacity, pursuing mergers and acquisitions, and investing in startups. However, significant apprehensions remain regarding the potential impact of the proposed tariffs and rising labor costs in the U.S. In response, Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba's administration has pledged to increase Japan's total U.S. investments to approximately $1 trillion to support these expansion efforts. | π« TICKET RESELLERS: The president signed an Executive Order today aimed at reforming the live entertainment ticketing industry and protecting fans from exploitative scalping practices. The order directs the FTC and Department of Justice to enforce competition laws, ensure price transparency, and crack down on illegal bots used to snatch up tickets. It also mandates a crackdown on scalpers evading tax laws and calls for a report within 180 days on additional reforms needed. With fans sometimes paying up to 70 times the original ticket price, the administration says this move restores fairness and keeps entertainment accessible. Trump emphasized that this is part of his broader effort to lower costs and protect American consumers. | πΈ INVESTING: President Trump has signed an Executive Order creating the United States Investment Accelerator, a new office within the Department of Commerce designed to fast-track major investments over $1 billion. The initiative will cut regulatory red tape, speed up permitting, and improve coordination across federal agencies to encourage large-scale investment. The Accelerator will also oversee the CHIPS Program Office, securing better deals for taxpayers and boosting domestic semiconductor production. Trump says this move will help bring billions in private investment into the U.S., create jobs, and strengthen the economy. With more than $3 trillion in private investments already secured, this new initiative aims to supercharge economic growth and keep America first. |

His government's increasingly aggressive restrictions on free speech. President Donald Trump's administration is raising the alarm, warning that the United Kingdom's policies on online content and protest rights are incompatible with the values of a free and open society. | At the center of the controversy is the UK's Online Safety Act, which gives regulators broad authority to police online speech. Vice President JD Vance has voiced concern that the law could suppress dissent and hurt American tech companies operating in Britain. Elon Musk has also joined the criticism, calling the UK's stance a danger to liberty and suggesting it could lead to economic consequences between the two allies. | The situation worsened after the arrest of a pro-life protester in the UK, whose peaceful demonstration was deemed unlawful. U.S. officials point to the case as an example of how Britain's policies now infringe on fundamental civil liberties. | Adding to the tension, the Starmer government's renewed alignment with European Union regulations has sparked fears in Washington that the UK is drifting too far from U.S. economic priorities. Trump has already warned that countries clinging to EU trade standards should expect tariffs, not special treatment. | With these developments, the Trump administration has made it clear. There will be no fast-tracked trade deal with the UK unless it reverses course on speech restrictions and recommits to basic freedoms. | Free speech is not negotiable. And if Starmer wants a deal, he will need to prove that the UK still respects the liberties that make Western democracy worth defending. | | | | | π Quick Bite News π | π΅ Elon Musk has issued $1 million checks to two Wisconsin voters after the state's Supreme Court declined to block his cash giveaways ahead of a critical court election. Critics argue the move is an attempt to sway judicial outcomes, while Musk insists it's a "free speech experiment." The controversy has sparked debates over election integrity and campaign finance laws. | π Stock markets worldwide have tumbled as investors brace for President Trump's new tariffs, set to take effect on what he calls "Liberation Day." The tariffs target foreign imports in an effort to boost American manufacturing, but critics warn they could trigger a global trade war. Economists say the uncertainty has rattled markets, with the Dow dropping sharply in response. | π«π· Marine Le Pen, leader of France's populist party, the National Rally, has been found guilty of embezzling EU funds. The court sentenced her to prison and banned her from seeking public office for five years, disrupting her potential 2027 presidential bid. Le Pen's party have called the ruling a "political hit job," vowing to appeal the decision. | πΊπΈ President Trump's latest executive order, titled "Restoring Truth," directs federal agencies to review the removal of historical monuments, including those of Confederate leaders. Supporters see it as a push-back against what they call the erasure of American history, while others argue it glorifies a painful past. | π₯ A fire at the Republican Party headquarters in Albuquerque, New Mexico, is being treated as an act of arson. Authorities are also investigating graffiti found on the building, suggesting a politically motivated attack. Federal investigators have been called in, although no arrests have been made yet. | π️ President Trump has agreed to meet comedian Bill Maher, a longtime critic, in what some are calling an unexpected White House meeting. Reports suggest the meeting was arranged at the request of musician Kid Rock, a Trump ally. Maher has openly expressed his disdain of Trump on his HBO show for many years, but sources say the President is open to a conversation. | | π₯Trending Politics Video Of The Dayπ₯ -Karoline Leavitt SNAPS at reporter during feisty White House gaggle |  | Karoline Leavitt SNAPS at reporter during feisty White House gaggle |
