WAYNE ROOT: Trump is Roadrunner. Democrats are Wiley E. Coyote. “Beep, Beep.” And Here is How Trump Can Turn Tariffs into Most Popular Grand Slam Home Run in History!

Believe it, or not, I still have Democrat friends. Just a handful out of the 6,000 names in my cell phone address book. But those few Democrats keep texting me to say, “We finally got him. Your friend Trump has finally done it. He screwed up- he’s destroyed the economy, he’s destroyed the Republican Party.”

And I just smile and laugh.

I’ve heard this exact same delusional, wishful thinking a hundred times since 2015. It’s been 10 straight years of “He’s finally done it. Trump is finished.” And for 10 years all these delusional Democrats have been dead wrong every time.

I’ve said this before. I’ll say it again: Trump is Roadrunner and Democrats are Wiley E. Coyote. Trump’s critics always think they’ve finally got him cornered and defeated. It seems impossible for Trump to escape- just like Roadrunner. Yet he always does. He always dashes their hopes. He always wins. “Beep, beep.”

Let me explain Trump’s short-term problem. Then I’ll present a perfect solution.

The stock market is falling- that’s for sure. But the sky isn’t falling. First, the stock market isn’t “the US economy.” Because of Trump, after only two months in office, Main Street is on the rebound from the terrible Biden economy. Inflation on key items is down. Jobs are up- smashing expectations. Manufacturing jobs are way up. And factory orders are up. The media conveniently forgets to tell you all of that.

Trump has also convinced foreign countries and companies to invest trillions of dollars into the US economy. The media forgets to mention that one too.

Back to stocks. The stock market is down dramatically- for the moment. But that’s today. A blip in time. This is only the first inning.

If Trump wins these trade wars and gets major concessions out of most countries…and the U.S. economy booms…and millions of jobs are created…and manufacturing comes back to the USA…this short-term stock decline will be long since forgotten. President Trump will be a hero.

I’ve studied Donald J. Trump for over 40 years.

I kept detailed notes about his success. Then I turned those notes into the book, “TRUMP RULES” about Trump’s rules of success that led him to mega-success in business, real estate, branding, celebrity, television and politics. Those same rules have made him the greatest “comeback kid” in history multiple times.

Here is what Trump’s critics don’t understand about his tariffs…

1. Trump is the greatest visionary in history. He sees tariffs as the only way to re-arrange the world economic order and make America the dominant economy in the world for decades to come. To restore jobs. To re-build the supply chain. To make the middle class prosperous again. He knows “no pain, no gain.” This had to happen. It will cause disruption, pain and losses short-term, but long-term it will make America great again. That’s why he was elected.

2. Trump is the greatest risk-taker of all time. He is willing to gamble his legacy on what he knows is the right thing to do. Trump understands you have to swing for the fences to produce mega-success. This is the only way to guarantee America’s prosperity and economic dominance over China long-term.

3. Lastly, Trump is the greatest negotiator of all-time. He knows you have to “aim for the stars” (to the point of critics calling you crazy and ridiculous) to get what you want.

That’s exactly what Trump is doing here.

Wall Street expected Trump to ask for 10% tariffs and settle for 5%. Instead, he announced 20%, and 30%, and 60% tariffs. Wall Street was stunned. They panicked. But this is typical Trump. Now he’s in the driver’s seat. He has intimidated the world. It’s all a negotiation. Trump started high- he aimed for the stars. That’s how he’ll eventually negotiate a final deal that’s great for America. Brilliant.

But I’ll admit the PR rollout of these tariffs has been lacking. This was not explained properly to the American people. The response to the crashing stock market has not been handled well either.

I have two ideas to supercharge Trump’s tariffs; make them popular right now; calm the American people; calm stock investors; and turn the tables on Trump’s critics.

These two ideas will turn Trump’s tariffs into a smashing PR victory and an all-time popular homerun.

First, President Trump should announce he is suspending the federal gas tax temporarily to lower costs at the gas pump for Americans. This softens the short-term blow of the tariffs for middle-class and working-class Americans.

Secondly, Trump should announce that every penny of the trillions of dollars that the tariffs produce will go to tax cuts for the American people.

This is your “Reagan moment” President Trump.

Turn the tariffs into a popular tax cut. If the American people see the tariffs as giving them a raise (ie more money in their pocketbooks), they’ll root for tariffs. They’ll turn into your best cheerleaders.

Pledge to use the incoming tariff taxes in a “best case scenario” to eliminate income taxes forever (and eliminate the IRS)…

Or as a “worst case scenario,” if we can’t raise enough money to completely eliminate income taxes, pledge to use the tariff money to create a 15% flat tax for personal income, corporate income, and capital gain taxes.

Americans will suddenly fall in love with tariffs- even with any short-term pain.

Tariffs will lower their gas bill at the pump…and lower their income tax bill…and a lower corporate tax rate will lead to lower prices for consumers…and a lower capital gains tax bill will make Wall Street investors happy.

Everyone wins!

This is how to bring the vast majority of Americans to your side; make the short-term pain of tariffs palatable; convince investors to be patient; make tariffs popular and turn them into a grand slam homerun (because everyone will benefit financially); and turn the tables on your critics!

And once again, President Trump is the Roadrunner. “Beep, beep.”

Dr. Ben Carson is the newest member of the Trump administration.

On Wednesday, former Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Ben Carson, was sworn in as the national adviser for nutrition, health, and housing at the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins shared that Carson’s role will be to oversee Trump’s new Big Beautiful Bill law, which aims to ensure Americans’ quality of life, from nutrition to stable housing.

After being sworn in, Carson shared, “Today, too many Americans are suffering from the effects of poor nutrition. Through common-sense policymaking, we have an opportunity to give our most vulnerable families the tools they need to flourish.”

Per USDA:

Today, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke L. Rollins announced that Dr. Benjamin S. Carson, Sr., M.D., was sworn in as the National Advisor for Nutrition, Health, and Housing at the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).

“There is no one more qualified than Dr. Carson to advise on policies that improve Americans’ everyday quality of life, from nutrition to healthcare quality to ensuring families have access to safe and stable housing,” said Secretary Rollins.

“With six in ten Americans living with at least one chronic disease, and rural communities facing unique challenges with respect to adequate housing, Dr. Carson’s insight and experience is critical. Dr. Carson will be crucial to implementing the rural health investment provisions of the One Big Beautiful Bill and advise on America First polices related to nutrition, health, and housing.

“As the U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development in the first Trump Administration, Dr. Carson worked to expand opportunity and strengthen communities, and we are honored to welcome him to the second Trump Administration to help lead our efforts here at USDA to Make America Healthy Again and ensure rural America continues to prosper.”

“Today, too many Americans are suffering from the effects of poor nutrition. Through common-sense policymaking, we have an opportunity to give our most vulnerable families the tools they need to flourish,” said Dr. Ben Carson. “I am honored to work with Secretary Rollins on these important initiatives to help fulfill President Trump’s vision for a healthier, stronger America.”

On Sunday, Dr. Carson was one of the many speakers at the memorial service of the late TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk.

During the memorial service, Carson highlighted that Kirk was shot at 12:24 p.m. and then continued to share the Bible verse John 12:24, which reads, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.”

LEAKED MEMO: Deep State Prosecutors in the Eastern District of Virginia Claim There Isn’t Enough Evidence to Convict Comey Amid Reports of Imminent Indictment

On Wednesday evening, disgruntled officials in the Eastern District of Virginia leaked contents of a memo explaining why charges should not be brought against James Comey.

As reported earlier, former FBI Director James Comey is expected to be indicted in the Eastern District of Virginia in the next few days.

Comey will reportedly be charged for lying to Congress in a 2020 testimony about whether he authorized leaks to the media.

Officials in the Eastern District of Virginia are still fighting to stop Comey from being charged after Trump fired US Attorney Erik Siebert.

President Trump last week fired Erik Siebert as the US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia because he refused to bring charges against Letitia James, Comey, Schiff and others.

On Saturday evening, President Trump announced that he had appointed Lindsey Halligan – his personal attorney who defended him against the Mar-a-Lago raid – as US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia.

Now, with just days to go before the statute of limitations runs out to charge Comey for lying during a September 30, 2020 testimony, Lindsey Halligan is reportedly gearing up to indict Comey.

Prosecutors reportedly gave newly sworn-in Halligan a memo defending James Comey and explaining why charges should not brought against the fired FBI Director.

Per MSNBC’s Ken Dilanian:

Two sources familiar with the matter tell me prosecutors in the EDVA US attorney‘s office presented newly sworn US attorney Lindsey Halligan with a memo explaining why charges should not be brought against James Comey, because there isn’t enough evidence to establish probable cause a crime was committed, let alone enough to convince a jury to convict him.

Justice Department guidelines say a case should not be brought unless prosecutors believe it’s more likely than not that they can win a conviction beyond a reasonable doubt.

Nearly 8 in 10 Voters Say the United States is in Political Crisis After the Assassination of Charlie Kirk

Nearly eight in ten voters believe that the United States is in a political crisis in the wake of the assassination of conservative icon Charlie Kirk.

According to a Quinnipiac University national poll of registered voters released on Wednesday, a massive 93 percent of Democrats, 84 percent of independents, and 60 percent of Republicans said the nation is in a political crisis.

“The Kirk assassination lays bare raw, bipartisan concerns about where the country is headed,” Quinnipiac University Polling Analyst Tim Malloy said of the poll results.

Quinnipiac reports:

Seventy-one percent of voters think politically motivated violence in the United States today is a very serious problem, 22 percent think it is a somewhat serious problem, 3 percent think it is a not so serious problem, and 1 percent think it is not a problem at all.

This is a jump from Quinnipiac University’s June 26 poll when 54 percent thought politically motivated violence in the United States today was a very serious problem, 37 percent thought it was a somewhat serious problem, 6 percent thought it was a not so serious problem, and 2 percent thought it was not a problem at all.

Nearly 6 in 10 voters (58 percent) think it will not be possible to lower the temperature on political rhetoric and speech in the United States, while 34 percent think it will be possible.

Over half, 54 percent, of voters believe the US will see increased political violence over the next few years. Another 27 percent said they think it will stay “about the same,” while just 14 percent believe it will ease.

A 53 percent majority also said they are “pessimistic about freedom of speech being protected in the United States.”

Surprisingly, a 53 percent majority also believes the current system of democracy is not working.

“From a perceived assault on freedom of speech to the fragility of the democracy, a shudder of concern and pessimism rattles a broad swath of the electorate. Nearly 80 percent of registered voters feel they are witnessing a political crisis, seven in ten say political violence is a very serious problem, and a majority say this discord won’t go away anytime soon,” Malloy added.

The vast majority, 82 percent, said the way that people discuss politics is contributing to the violence.

“When asked if political discourse is contributing to violence, a rare meeting of the minds…Republicans, Democrats, and independents in equal numbers say yes, it is,” Malloy said.

The survey was conducted from September 18 to 21 among 1,276 registered voters with a margin of error of +/- 3.3 percentage points.
