President Trump Defends DOJ/FBI Team


Posted originally on CTH on July 12, 2025 | Sundance

President Trump releases this seemingly frustrated lengthy statement via Truth Social:

PRESIDENT TRUMP – What’s going on with my “boys” and, in some cases, “gals?” They’re all going after Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is doing a FANTASTIC JOB! We’re on one Team, MAGA, and I don’t like what’s happening.

We have a PERFECT Administration, THE TALK OF THE WORLD, and “selfish people” are trying to hurt it, all over a guy who never dies, Jeffrey Epstein. For years, it’s Epstein, over and over again. Why are we giving publicity to Files written by Obama, Crooked Hillary, Comey, Brennan, and the Losers and Criminals of the Biden Administration, who conned the World with the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, 51 “Intelligence” Agents, “THE LAPTOP FROM HELL,” and more?

They created the Epstein Files, just like they created the FAKE Hillary Clinton/Christopher Steele Dossier that they used on me, and now my so-called “friends” are playing right into their hands. Why didn’t these Radical Left Lunatics release the Epstein Files? If there was ANYTHING in there that could have hurt the MAGA Movement, why didn’t they use it?

They haven’t even given up on the John F. Kennedy or Martin Luther King, Jr. Files. No matter how much success we have had, securing the Border, deporting Criminals, fixing the Economy, Energy Dominance, a Safer World where Iran will not have Nuclear Weapons, it’s never enough for some people. We are about to achieve more in 6 months than any other Administration has achieved in over 100 years, and we have so much more to do.

We are saving our Country and, MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, which will continue to be our complete PRIORITY. The Left is imploding! Kash Patel, and the FBI, must be focused on investigating Voter Fraud, Political Corruption, ActBlue, The Rigged and Stolen Election of 2020, and arresting Thugs and Criminals, instead of spending month after month looking at nothing but the same old, Radical Left inspired Documents on Jeffrey Epstein. LET PAM BONDI DO HER JOB — SHE’S GREAT!

The 2020 Election was Rigged and Stolen, and they tried to do the same thing in 2024 — That’s what she is looking into as AG, and much more. One year ago our Country was DEAD, now it’s the “HOTTEST” Country anywhere in the World. Let’s keep it that way, and not waste Time and Energy on Jeffrey Epstein, somebody that nobody cares about. Thank you for your attention to this matter! (source)

Given the nature of how administration’s are generally run, those who consider this statement to be ‘tone deaf’ should look no further than the White House Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, who -not coincidentally- appears to be the biggest supporter of AG Pam Bondi.

I’m not sure what to even say at this point.

I can certainly see the issue from the position of President Trump; however, I can also see this issue from the position of a very vocal base within the MAGA support network who are not happy with the way the DOJ and FBI have handled this issue.

Ugh.

All of it.

President Trump Announces 30 Percent Baseline Tariff for European Union and Mexico


Posted originally on CTH on July 12, 2025 | Sundance

President Trump announced on Truth Social a baseline tariff rate of 30% for both the European Union and Mexico.  Other sector specific tariffs still apply.

The EU rate is interesting in that the 30% rate is lower than the Canadian rate of 35%, yet the EU rate exceeds the current ‘chicken tax’ rate historically applied to imported SUVs and Trucks.  Strategically, the 30% tariff rate on Europe is a major incentive for various EU sectors to shift manufacturing into the USA.

Without a formal declaration of the end of the Marshall Plan, the reciprocity rate of 30% for all EU imports also equalizes the transatlantic trade benefit.  It will be interesting to see how the EU responds, given any retaliation could be added to the existing baseline.

Canada is currently trying to organize a trade agreement with the EU, in the hopes of positioning themselves toward the transatlantic group as they were toward the transpacific group (vis-a-vis China).

The Canadian economic model, to position themselves as a gateway into the USA for Chinese component goods, previously served them well as they exploited a NAFTA loophole.  However, the new 35% rate impedes their ability to remain an assembly driven manufacturing model.   Similarly, the 30% USA rate toward the EU impedes the Canadian transatlantic approach.

The USA Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is currently 26 to 28 percent of the entire world’s GDP.  The USA is by far the most dominant consumer market in the world.  President Trump is leveraging access to the U.S. market within the global trade imbalance reset.

Additionally, Mexico also receives the 30% tariff rate applied.  Again, interestingly the Mexico rate is lower than the Canadian rate and reflects two distinctly different levels of economic importance.  Almost all of Mexico’s manufacturing base exists exclusively due to access to the USA market.

Hundreds of billions worth of investment dollars from both the EU and China have poured into Mexico for the single purpose of generating tariff-free goods for sale into the USA.

Neither Mexico nor Canada can respond to the tariffs as applied against the backdrop of their dependency on the USA market.  Both can try to sell their goods and resources to alternate nations, but the costs associated with the transfer of those goods to alternate countries negates the profit incentive to just streamline the internal process and offset the tariffs.

The big question for the EU and Mexico is one we see playing out in Japan, downward wage pressure.

The more a nation tries to offset the tariffs in order to maintain the industry, the less profit margin they have within their operation for wage rates to increase.  This is what the USA went through for four decades as the rustbelt took shape and all the manufacturing jobs were offshored.

The Japanese auto sector is now worried about declining wages, the same basic thing will roll forward into China, Mexico the EU, and to a lesser extent Canada.  Eventually tariff subsidies run into the natural bottom line of the production sector.

The EU is in the worst possible shape to deal with this wage and labor pressure.  Their collective demand toward green energy is extremely expensive and their manufacturing sectors are now facing serious increases in production cost due to the high cost of energy.

The scale of that EU energy problem when combined with the generous worker benefits within the EU creates a reality where they simply cannot take any more upward pressure on production costs, without opening themselves up to cheap Chinese goods.

The EU has massive self-imposed inflation as a result of energy policy.  As China maintains state subsidized production, those Chinese goods eventually get dumped into markets like the EU where the domestic suppliers simply cannot compete on price.  European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has been very vocal about this problem for almost a year.

President Trump is leveraging all of these global dynamics in our favor.  Cheap U.S. energy, cheap and abundant U.S. raw materials, reasonable open-market labor rates (deportation process assisting), in combination with the world’s #1 consumer base, makes the best bet for manufacturing to come to the USA.

All of that domestic USA economic activity drives expansion of the GDP, which pushes more money into the federal budget and offsets the cost of govt spending.  Add to that GDP growth the income from tariffs, and suddenly we start running a surplus to drive down debt and deficits.

Despite all the seemingly noisy distractions on other matters, on the economic front President Trump’s entire MAGAnomic policy agenda is exceptionally well structured and delivering great results.

President Trump Announces 35 Percent Baseline Tariff for Canadian Goods Not Covered Under USMCA


Posted originally on CTH on July 11, 2025 | Sundance 

President Donald Trump has announced a 35% baseline tariff rate for Canada on all imported goods not currently covered under the soon-to-expire USMCA trade agreement.

“Instead of working with the United States, Canada retaliated with its own Tariffs,” President Trump shared on Truth Social. “Starting August 1, 2025, we will charge Canada a Tariff of 35% on Canadian products sent into the United States, separate from all Sectoral Tariffs.”

[LINK]

As noted by President Trump in his remarks during Prime Minister Mark Carney’s visit to the White House, Trump plans to renegotiate the USMCA and end the trilateral agreement in favor of two bilateral trade deals.

During the oval office meeting President Trump said, “as you know [USMCA] terminates fairly shortly. It gets renegotiated fairly shortly.” Then the biggest statement, “this was a transitional deal, and we’ll see what happens, we’re going to start renegotiating that”… “I don’t know if it serves a purpose anymore.”  …. “And the biggest purpose it served was, we got rid of NAFTA.” 

President Trump is going to exit the trilateral USMCA in favor of two distinctly different bilateral trade agreements between the U.S and Mexico; and the U.S and Canada.  The only consideration now is the timing.  President Trump is 100% focused on the BIG ECONOMIC PICTURE; it’s not about the politics, it’s all about the economics.

♦ BACKGROUND – Following the 2024 presidential election, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau traveled to Mar-a-Lago and said if President Trump was to make the Canadian government face reciprocal tariffs, open the USMCA trade agreements to force reciprocity, and/or balance economic relations on non-tariff issues, then Canada would collapse upon itself economically and cease to exist.  In essence, in addition to the NATO defense shortfall, Canada cannot survive as a free and independent north American nation, without receiving all the one-way benefits from the U.S. economy.

To wit, President Trump then said, if Canada cannot survive in a balanced rules environment, including putting together their own military and defenses and meeting their NATO obligations, then Canada should become the 51st U.S state.  It was following this meeting that President Trump started emphasizing this point and shocking everyone in the process.  However, in the emotional reaction to Trump’s statements, no-one looked at the core issues outlined by Trudeau that framed President Trump’s opinion.  {BACKGROUND HERE}

Trump Attempts to Slow the Inertia of War – Now Sending Weapons to NATO Instead of Ukraine


Posted originally on CTH on July 11, 2025 | Sundance

Everyone can see the play by President Trump. Essentially, the “coalition of the willing” (U.K, Germany, France) are not willing to go to war against Russia without the United States in front of them.  Giving the coalition the weapons puts the consequences of their use on the heads of NATO allies.

Despite the majority of Washington DC, specifically the Senate thirsting, pleading and demanding an expanded NATO war, President Trump does not want to go to war against Russia. However, simultaneously Trump has to try and steer the war machine controlled by DC, the Senate, USIC and NATO.

The INERTIA for expanded war is evident.  President Trump is now trying to split the baby regarding Russia, by sending patriot missiles and weapons to NATO as opposed to sending them directly to Ukraine.

In February Marco Rubio earnestly and honestly said, “The Ukraine conflict is a proxy war for the United States against Russia.”  President Trump has concurred with that statement and through his prior comments he attempted to extricate the U.S. from this dynamic.

The shipment of missiles to NATO instead of Ukraine is simply a way of trying to stop direct support, yet Trump is forced by the inertia toward war to maintain a footing of expanded conflict with Russia.

To be very clear, Russian President Vladimir Putin is clear-eyed on this situation with NATO, and he has been all along.

Putin has said repeatedly that NATO was/is in direct conflict against Russia despite Ukraine not being a NATO member.  This conflict with NATO well precedes Putin’s decision to conduct a ‘special military operation’ within Ukraine.

Now, we see through Trump’s approach the dropping of pretenses.  Putin was correct.  With NATO directly providing the war weapons to Ukraine there is no pretense, no doubt. NATO countries are funding an offensive war against Russia using a non NATO proxy state, Ukraine.

As I have said, this western triggering has always been the inertia for war, and that war is now likely to expand as a result of NATO and even, unfortunately, President Trump’s approach.

The only thing that works in his/our favor is the cowardice of the U.K, France and Germany to fight Russia without the USA.

President Trump may try and distance himself and by extension the USA from this consequence of expanded conflict. But the consequence exists regardless of the obfuscation.  We are parsing terms.

The US is going to fund expansion of the conflict directly with arms to Ukraine or indirectly by sending arms to NATO to give to Ukraine. The destination and intent of the weapons is the same regardless of the procedural process.

I came to Russia this time to understand the nature of how western inertia to war can exist, despite the people of the west demanding the opposite. I wanted to see for myself exactly what Russia was preparing for, and exactly how the people of Russia were reacting to that preparation.

Russia is well prepared, both physically and psychologically to go to war against any adversary.  Russian President Vladimir Putin’s approval rating is between 70 to 80%, and despite what you might have heard in western propaganda media, the economy inside Russia is doing very well.  In addition to the two-year service requirement (18-20 years old), all men aged 25 to 35 have been refresher trained in preparation.

The psyche of the Russian military is ready to get rid of the Nazis.  Also, the sentiment of Europeans’ dislike of Ukrainian Nazis is easy to spot, albeit not well known outside the region.  Despite decades of Brussels and USA provocation and political manipulation (perhaps because of it), there’s not a lot of pro-NATO support for the west here.

I am not a big fan of Russia; nor do I agree with the way the government constructs societal life within it. There are a lot of negatives to daily life in Russia. However, I do have a complete understanding of the govt positions and reasons for them.

Western media have pretended that Ukraine was not a U.S/NATO proxy war against Russia. Now, those pretenses are dropped.  Conversely, Vladimir Putin never pretended.

Putin always accepted that Ukraine was, and long has been, a NATO proxy state for conflict against Russia; which is exactly the reason he ‘invaded‘ Ukraine in the first place.

President Trump may be trying to split the baby amid the retention of pretense, but it’s a pretense Russian President Vladimir Putin never held, he could not afford to.

Thus, the inertia of war and people asking “how did this happen?”

If I am accurate in his exit strategy, President Trump hopes to extricate himself from the Russia-Ukraine problem by putting the conflict directly into the lap of NATO, more specifically into the lap of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz; the so called “coalition of the willing.”

President Trump is giving the weapons to NATO, again Starmer, Macron and Merz, for transfer to their buddy in Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.  President Trump then stands back and draws distance from the consequence of what they do with them.  However, this is also a massive provocation because NATO is now essentially operating on behalf of a non-NATO state, Ukraine, against another non-NATO power, Russia.

President Trump cannot remove the fact that the USA is the lead in all things NATO.  As soon as France, Germany and the U.K start bombing Russia albeit from the geography of Ukraine, the conflict will expand.

NATO -thanks to President Trump- would then be baiting Vladimir Putin to attack France, Germany or the UK in retaliation, which would trigger Article 5; subsequently the USA is drawn into the conflict by agreement, and voilà a full expanded war between NATO and Russia commences.

But why?

If neither Russia or Ukraine are NATO members, why is NATO involved at all?

Good question.  Perhaps President Trump will answer that question on Monday.

President Trump told NBC News, “I think I’ll have a major statement to make on Russia on Monday.”

.

Live your very best life, but prepare for war.

Like a fat kid playing dodgeball, I’m out of here tomorrow (hopefully), and will hold an AMA on the topic of all things Russia next week.
