President Donald Trump isn't holding back in his second term, delivering some hard truths about Republican sacred cows while simultaneously proving why his America First approach gets results where establishment politicians failed.
In a bombshell Fox Business interview with Larry Kudlow, Trump pulled no punches about Ronald Reagan's disastrous trade record, specifically calling out the beloved former president for 'folding' to Japan during critical auto industry negotiations.
"I liked Ronald Reagan, but Ronald Reagan was bad on trade. He had the big shootout with Japan and he folded,"
Trump declared, refusing to bow to the GOP establishment's Reagan worship when the facts don't support the mythology.
But here's what separates Trump from every other politician: while he's telling uncomfortable truths about past failures, he's simultaneously delivering WINS for America. The President revealed he just had an "aggressive" phone call with Swiss officials about raising tariffs - and guess what? They caved.
This is exactly why Americans elected Trump for a second term. Finally, we have a president who isn't afraid to challenge the failed orthodoxies of both parties and who actually fights for American workers instead of rolling over for foreign competitors.
The Reagan Truth Patriots Need to Hear
Look, we respect Reagan's legacy on many fronts, but Trump is absolutely right about trade. The 1980s were filled with Japan bashing America in manufacturing while Reagan's team talked tough but delivered weak results. Sound familiar? That's the same playbook every establishment Republican has used since - until Trump came along.
The contrast couldn't be clearer: Reagan folded to Japan, but Trump is making Switzerland bend the knee on tariffs with one phone call. That's the difference between America First leadership and business-as-usual Washington.
While the legacy media will clutch their pearls about Trump criticizing Saint Reagan, patriots understand that real leaders adapt and improve on past strategies instead of mindlessly repeating failed policies.
Isn't it refreshing to have a president who puts American workers ahead of political correctness - even when it means challenging Republican orthodoxy?
