President Trump delivered a powerful testament to the success of his America First policies, namely tariffs, in a Friday morning Truth Social post.

“Tariffs are having a huge positive impact on the Stock Market. Almost every day, new records are set. In addition, Hundreds of Billions of Dollars are pouring into our Country’s coffers,” Trump wrote.

Tariffs are increasing federal revenue and supporting stock market growth, as reported in financial indices. This revenue strengthens the United States’ economic position.

Trump then warned of threats to his administration’s progress. “If a Radical Left Court ruled against us at this late date, in an attempt to bring down or disturb the largest amount of money, wealth creation and influence the U.S.A. has ever seen, it would be impossible to ever recover, or pay back, these massive sums of money and honor. It would be 1929 all over again, a GREAT DEPRESSION! If they were going to rule against the wealth, strength, and power of America, they should have done so LONG AGO, at the beginning of the case, where our entire Country, while never having a chance at this kind of GREATNESS again, would not have been put in 1929 style jeopardy.”

Trump pointedly stated, “There is no way America could recover from such a judicial tragedy, but I know our Court System better than anyone, there is no one in history that has gone through the trials, tribulations and uncertainties such as I, and absolutely terrible, but also amazingly beautiful, things can happen. Our Country deserves SUCCESS AND GREATNESS, NOT TURMOIL, FAILURE, AND DISGRACE. GOD BLESS AMERICA!”

Century Aluminum’s Mount Holly smelter in Berkeley County, South Carolina, is a shining example of the success of Trump’s agenda. According to the Post and Courier, the company is investing $50 million to reignite its “partly idled” plant back to full production for the first time in a decade. The company said its decision was “driven by steep tariffs that its overseas rivals are now being forced to pay.”

Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., celebrated the news on X. “Century Aluminum is bringing its Berkeley County plant back to FULL capacity for the first time in a decade, proof President Trump’s America First trade policies are delivering results right here at home. $50 million investment, 100 new South Carolina jobs, a win for American workers, a win for South Carolina. America FIRST is South Carolina FIRST.”
