Tariffs Are Not the Enemy—They’re the Weapon

🚨 Tax Day is just around the corner 🚨

The rich use legal tax loopholes to keep more of their money—now you can too! Learn how to build inflation-proof income and protect your wealth from government overreach.

Dear Reader,

In Part 1, we saw the crash is already here. In Part 2, we go deeper into the strategy.

Tariffs.

The media hates that word. So do economists on CNBC. But Jim Rickards lays it out plain—and I agree: tariffs aren’t the villain. They’re the shield. And the sword. It’s how we protect American jobs. It’s how we rebuild the country.

  • Tariffs aren’t a tax—they’re a tool. A powerful weapon to bring jobs, factories, and leverage back to the U.S.

  • The media lied about inflation. Tariffs don’t hit consumers—they hit corrupt supply chains and foreign producers.

  • It’s already working. Apple, Honda, and TSMC are investing billions here—because Trump is forcing their hand.

This isn’t about theory anymore. It’s about survival.

Let’s get one thing straight.

Tariffs aren’t taxes on you. That’s propaganda.

Tariffs are leverage. They’re power. They’re how you play hardball in a global economy that’s been rigged against America since Nixon left the gold standard.

Rickards calls it “the American System.” I call it common sense.

We used it from 1790 until the 1960s. Under presidents like Washington, Lincoln, McKinley, Eisenhower. And it worked. America built factories, made steel, paid workers well, and ruled the world.

Then the globalists took over.

Free trade. Outsourcing. Cheap goods. Hollow towns. Broken families. We were sold the lie that we’d be richer if China made everything. Turns out we just got poorer. And now, they’ve got our jobs—and our data.

That ends now.

Trump’s bringing the tariff hammer back. And Rickards? He says it’s the best economic policy we’ve got.

Here’s how it works: you slap a 20% tariff on a Chinese product. The media screams that prices will rise. But do they? Nope.

Because the tariff cost doesn’t fall on you—it falls on the importer and the foreign producer. They either eat the cost, cut their margins, or move the factory here to avoid the tax. That’s not inflation. That’s pressure.

And guess what? It’s already working.

Rickards points to Taiwan Semiconductor—a hundred billion dollars being poured into U.S. plants. Apple? $500 billion coming home. Honda? Building new factories here. Even German automakers are shifting production to South Carolina.

Why?

Because Trump drew a line in the sand. You want access to American consumers? Build in America. Or pay the toll.

That’s not a trade war. That’s a trade correction. And it’s long overdue.

Now, I know what you’re thinking: “Won’t China retaliate?”

Sure. They’ll buy soybeans from Brazil. They’ll grumble. But they’ll also realize something: America is done being the doormat.

We’re not here to make China rich. We’re here to make America great again. Let them figure out how to fix their ghost cities, broken banks, and fake GDP. That’s not our job.

Rickards says tariffs will cause some disruption—but not inflation. Walmart can’t raise prices 20% even if it wanted to. The American consumer is maxed out. Prices are already baked in. All the pressure goes up the supply chain, not down to you.

Best part? Tariffs create real jobs—high-paying ones. Not gig work. Not government checks. Actual work. That builds wealth. That builds pride.

And it builds a foundation. So when the storm really hits, you’re not stuck relying on China for your meds, chips, and power tools.

📺 Watch This Before It’s Too Late

This isn’t just about trade—it’s about sovereignty. It’s about economic freedom. If you haven’t seen Jim Rickards’ new exposé, “American Birthright,” now’s the time.

He explains why tariffs, gold, energy, and industrial revival are the only path forward.

Coming Up in Part 3:

This all builds toward something bigger—Trump’s boldest economic plan yet: the 3-3-3 strategy. Three percent growth. Three percent deficit. Three million barrels of oil a day. In Part 3, I’ll show you how this simple formula could rewrite America’s future.
