The Sept. U.S. trade deficit in goods was $134.9 billion, the highest ever recorded in Sept. There were only three months in history when the deficit was higher, all under Trump in 2025.
Here are the facts. Measured by the size of our trade deficits, Trump has been the worst president in history on trade. The tariffs have been a complete failure. Not only have they failed to bring manufacturing back to the U.S., but the U.S. is now more dependent than ever on foreign producers. Not only are we importing more than ever, but we are now paying Trump's tariffs on those imports.
Trump says trade deficits represent a loss. Judged by his own standard, Trump is the biggest loser in the history of the presidency. Also, if the economy is booming as Republicans claim, why have our trade deficits gone way up? Why are the trade deficits under Trump so much larger than they were under Biden, when, according to Trump, we had the worst economy in U.S. history?
Here are the facts. When you compare Trump's first two years to Biden's last two, GDP growth and job creation are slower, inflation is higher, and budget and trade deficits are bigger. If Trump is right that under Biden we had the worst economy in history, and the Trump economy is objectively worse on all counts, then the Trump economy is now the worst economy in history.
Prescription drug advertising on TV is now literally every other ad. Diseases, symptoms and side effects with a catchy tune. Over and over and over again. Americans are being brainwashed! The US is only 1 of 2 countries in the world that allow this. RFK Jr. promised to ban direct to consumer pharma advertising when campaigning with the Trump administration!!
The USA has not added a single new nuclear power plant to its fleet over the past 30 years. During the same time, only (3) reactors have been added to existing facilities. Modern nuclear power generation is safe, low cost, reliable and environmentally friendly. Allowing scare tactics from mis and or uniformed special interest groups to scare voters into delaying and or stoping progress has been a huge mistake.
Trump has ordered regulators to fast-track new nuclear plants.
Democratic senators call that dangerous.
“That's just a bunch of crap," says Ray Rothrock of @TheBTI, "They're afraid of something they don't need to be afraid of.”
My video below covers some of their fears:
Tesla Roadster debuted last night in McGregor, Texas. The car demonstrated advanced technologies and is attractively designed, but I'm not sure how this model could be certified legal for on road use and or sale to consumers in the United States by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and other regulatory bodies.
🚨 After waiting almost 10 years, investors and auto enthusiasts to finally see the long awaited Tesla Roadster this Thursday, October 15, 2026 @ 8:55pm EST!
Here in New Jersey, Justin Murphy is challenging the infamous Cory "Spartacus" Booker for Senate. Outstanding debate performance, here he is with his view and recommendation to President Trump on the war with Iran 💪✅ 🇺🇸

🔥 Now this is how you field the questiond about the war in Iran. The crowd's response is epic.
GOP Senatorial candidate Justin Murphy's response was pure gold. Senator Cory "Spartacus" Booker's face tells the entire story as Democrats have seen no one come Out swinging like this.
"Mr. President, put your cowboy hat on and get out there and kick some
a$$...and get this done and get this done right"

Gavin Newsom will not allow California taxpayers to know where their tax money is spent because a significant percentage is directly and or indirectly stolen by Democrats who run that state.
Earlier today, Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Athens, Greece. Outstanding message presentation to our longstanding partner and other European allies!
SECRETARY RUBIO: For twenty-five centuries since, the Parthenon has stood. Empires have risen and fallen beneath its shadow.
And the progeny of the men who built it – the sons of Athens and Rome – have carried their civilization with them to the ends of the Earth.
Two and a half centuries after the founding of the American republic halfway across the world from where I stand now, I stand here today – as the Secretary of State of that republic, and as the great-grandson of settlers who arrived in the new world from Spain – I stand here to testify to a debt that no lapse of time, no distance of space, can ever extinguish.
Cont'd..

Marco Rubio is delivering the greatest defense of Western Civilization I have ever heard in Athens
“The history of America… is covered with the fingerprints of antiquity.”
Rubio pointed to the unmistakable Greek influence on the United States:
-Greek architecture is carved into Washington, D.C.’s columns, domes and monuments
-America’s founders drew inspiration from the civilizations of antiquity
-Even Philadelphia, the birthplace of the Constitution, bears a Greek name
America didn’t emerge in a vacuum. Its institutions, architecture and founding principles carry the legacy of Western civilization.
Incredible optics.
Unfortunately, Americans typically have short memories. For those thinking about voting Democrat in next month's November elections, please take a look at this list, what is stated is accurate.
Democrats seized power in 2021.
Within three years, millions crossed our border. Overdoses hit records and killed over 100,000 Americans yearly.
The Taliban retook Afghanistan. Russia invaded Ukraine. Hamas slaughtered more than a thousand Israelis. Gaza was rightfully reduced to rubble.
Inflation hit 21.5%, leaving families paying $14,300 more a year to live.
Men entered our daughters bathrooms and competed in their sports.
Political opponents faced relentless lawfare.
The list of failures is endless.

Another (crazy) example of the direct and indirect stealing of taxpayer money that is going on everywhere. EVERYWHERE. No wonder the federal government cannot balance a budget and why we are $40T in debt. The stealing MUST STOP.
NEW: RFK Jr. says Medicare spending on wound care patches exploded from $200 million in 2019 to $14 billion last year: "It's all stolen."
Bad actors billed Medicare billions by slapping the most expensive skin grafts on elderly and dying patients who didn't need them.
"The doctors who prescribed them would get 6% of the sales cost. And so, they were incentivized to prescribe more expensive products. In Europe, they spend 35 cents a cubic inch. We were spending $135, and that went up to $2,000 a cubic inch."
"So 2019, we were paying $200 million. Last year we spent 14 billion. All stolen. It's all stolen. And we were on track to spend 23 billion this year."
"We put an end to it, and we now have driven that cost down to somewhere around a billion dollars."
In one Arizona case, the owners of two wound care companies pleaded guilty to more than $1.2 billion in fraudulent claims. Medicare paid over $1 million per patient for grafts slapped on elderly patients who didn't need them, many of them dying in hospice.
In June, DOJ charged 11 more defendants over more than $2 billion in allograft claims, including a company accused of issuing sham invoices to inflate what Medicare paid.
It feels like every week I learn a new way people were ripping off taxpayers for billions.
