Trump and Vance speeches in 72 hours answered the left’s attacks on America’s 250th — from Mamdani’s July 3 “oligarchs” broadside against Elon Musk to Trump at Mount Rushmore and Vance at New York Harbor defining American culture, character, and self-reliance.
How do fringe ideological movements rise to power? Mike traces patterns from history to explain why America has survived past crises and what he believes remains its greatest strength.
America turned 250 — and every headline said the same thing. Trump ended the Kissinger doctrine, the Court redrew the presidency, and the American System buried since 1901 is back. Britain built the cage; America just walked out. Four posts inside.
The UAW now supports Trump's tariffs, citing benefits for the working class and criticizing the devastating effects of free trade on American jobs.
In the 2024 Presidential campaign, the United Auto Workers officially endorsed Kamala Harris and UAW President Shawn Fain was one of the Democrats’ most strident supporters and one of Donald Trump’s most strident attackers.
“We are glad to see an American president take aggressive action on ending the free trade disaster that has dropped like a bomb on the working class…The UAW is in active negotiations with the Trump Administration about their plans to end the free trade disaster. We look forward to working with the White House to shape the auto tariffs in April to benefit the working class.”

The statement went even further in defending Trump’s policies, by taking on the devastating consequences of free trade, and also taking on the idea that tariffs will disrupt the economy (a favorite talking point of the media and the Democrats).
For 40 years, we’ve seen the devastating effects of so-called “free trade” on the working class. Corporations have been driving a non-stop race to the bottom by killing good blue-collar jobs in America to go exploit some poor worker in another country by paying poverty wages….
There’s been a lot of talk of these tariffs “disrupting” the economy. But if corporate America chooses to price-gouge the American consumer or attack the American worker because they don’t want to pay their fair share, corporate America bears the blame for that decision…
We want to see corporate America, from the auto industry and beyond, recommit to the working class that makes the products and generates the profits that keep this country running.
President Trump acknowledged this shift in his March 7 Oval Office press conference, remarking that the UAW and Sean Fain are now saying that he is absolutely right on tariffs.
Trump also pointed out how much support he had from rank and file auto workers in 2024, despite the UAW not endorsing him, and how that support was decisive in his Michigan victory.
Trump added that now,
“You're going to have so many Auto jobs, you're not going to believe what's going to happen, we're going to load up Michigan.”
This new UAW orientation toward Trump’s tariff policy is another step in the direction of a political realignment in the country, one which could fulfill the 2024 Republican Party Platform’s pledge to return the Republican Party “to its roots as the party of industry, manufacturing, infrastructure and workers.”

On America's 250th, Susan Kokinda shows how Trump is reviving the American System of political economy—suppressed since McKinley's assassination in 1901—and why the Declaration's "pursuit of Happiness" was a declaration of war on the British System.
Trump's America First revolution is finishing what 1776 started—rooted in Hamilton's American System—while Mark Carney and the Democratic Socialists of America run a fake, City-of-London-backed counterrevolution to tear the country down.
