Jun 1, 2025 ~ 'Trump Makes the Deal of a Lifetime for US Steel'
"Local steelworkers, community leaders and economic experts said President Donald Trump's announcement Friday that a deal was struck between U.S. Steel and Nippon Steel will go down in American history as the most enduring economic "big, beautiful deal" the 47th president has made.
It is a deal robustly supported by the rank-and-file steelworkers from the three plants that make up the Mon Valley Works. The deal is believed to reverse the decline of steel that began under former President Jimmy Carter in the 1970s."
Trump said, "I am proud to announce that, after much consideration and negotiation, U.S. Steel will REMAIN in America and keep its headquarters in the Great City of Pittsburgh."
"The investments and technology transfer will protect and create 100,000 jobs in Pennsylvania, according to an independent analysis by Parker Strategy Group. The analysis estimated that the investment would protect 11,400 jobs and create and support 14,000 new jobs, including over 10,200 in construction." It means billions in investments in many other states as well.
Hudson Institute fellow Paul Sracic said, ""Instead of just killing the deal, he used his opposition as leverage to get even more investment dollars than Nippon Steel had originally offered. In every way now, Trump can take credit for this investment. It was his application of steel tariffs during his first term which led Nippon Steel to seek out the purchase in the first place. Through his application of tariffs, Trump has managed to secure U.S. jobs and helped to directly take on China. Trump can now rightly claim credit for saving these communities and the jobs of the workers who, unlike their union leadership, have served as one of his most loyal sources of support since he first ran for president in 2016. The future is now bright in Pennsylvania."
Jun 15, 2025 ~ 'Trump’s tariff gamble pays off — without the inflation' A lot of people predicted otherwise. "It was supposed to be economic Armageddon.

"Instead, something else happened: nothing of the sort."
"Far from igniting the inflationary firestorm predicted by his critics, Trump’s sweeping tariffs — including a 10% universal import duty and targeted hikes on 90 nations — have coincided with the lowest inflation rate since early 2021."

"America is now poised to dominate liquified natural gas (LNG) exports to Japan, which is the world’s second-largest purchaser of LNG. Since the US sits on one of the world’s largest natural-gas deposits, this is a win-win for both nations."

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen: "I want to thank President Trump personally for his personal commitment and leadership to achieve this breakthrough.

Aug 17, 2025 ~ 'Donald Trump Is Truly Historic'
"If you had to sum up President Trump’s second term so far in one word, you could do worse than 'epic.' Trump may be on the path to the most consequential presidency since Ronald Reagan’s."
In addition to his accomplishments on immigration, trade, peace, tax cuts, NATO, DEI rollback, making tax cuts permanent, DOGE cuts, Medicare reform, ending Iran's nuclear weapons program, etc. "Almost any one of these items would be a notable first-six-months accomplishment, but he’s done them all, with lots of other activity besides. His EPA administrator, Lee Zeldin, and his energy officials are rolling back the left’s climate agenda. Trump defunded public broadcasting and kneecapped the Department of Education (for now). The administration has taken important steps to protect female sports and to keep minors from being subjected to “gender-affirming care.” With brute-force threats, he’s pushed universities into agreements to adopt reforms and probably upended forever the assumption that billions of federal dollars would flow to top universities as a matter of course."
