President Donald Trump stood by his “Liberation Day” reciprocal tariff package on Friday, telling investors that his “policies will not change,” after China attempted to retaliate with a 34% tariff on U.S. goods.
In a string of Truth Social posts, President Trump maintained that his tariff move will withstand the current falling stock markets — which have gone down ever since he made the decision to implement the new tariffs.

“CHINA PLAYED IT WRONG, THEY PANICKED – THE ONE THING THEY CANNOT AFFORD TO DO!” he wrote.
In an earlier post, the president also said: “THE MANY INVESTORS COMING INTO THE UNITED STATES AND INVESTING MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF MONEY, MY POLICIES WILL NEVER CHANGE.
“THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO GET RICH, RICHER THAN EVER BEFORE!!!”
The newly incorporated tariffs established a 10% minimum base duty on foreign countries, and hit what he called “worst offender” countries at higher rates.
The 47th president slapped China with a 34% additional tariff in the Wednesday announcement, on top of a 20% tariff that was already in place.
Trump indicated on Thursday that he would be willing to negotiate with countries to bring the tariff rates down, but only if they “are giving us something that is good.”
“The tariffs give us great power to negotiate. They always have. I’ve used them very well in the first administration,” he told reporters aboard Air Force One.
Additionally, the Commander-in-Chief announced on Thursday that markets will come back stronger than ever following his tariff package, with the 10% tariff going into effect on Saturday and any higher tariff rates that kicked in on Wednesday.
He further stressed that Americans need to be patient during this time.
“I think it’s going very well. It was an operation, like what a patient gets operated on, and it’s a big thing,” Trump told reporters when leaving the White House.
“I said this would be exactly the way it is. We have $6 or $7 trillion coming into our country, and we’ve never seen anything like it. The markets are going to boom, the stock market is going to boom, the country is going to boom.”
The Trump administration applauded the latest jobs report on Friday — which came in higher than expected for the month of March.

“GREAT JOB NUMBERS, FAR BETTER THAN EXPECTED. IT’S ALREADY WORKING. HANG TOUGH, WE CAN’T LOSE!!!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
Meanwhile, 72nd Secretary of State Marco Rubio acknowledged that “markets are crashing,” but that the U.S. economy is strong and will become much stronger once things settle.
“Markets are crashing because markets are based on the stock value of companies who today are embedded in modes of production that are bad for the United States. We have to reset the global order of trade,” Rubio said.
JUST IN: President Trump says the tariffs are to put the United States back in the driver's seat, says he is open to negotiations.
Trump says TikTok is close to a deal and says tariffs may force China to approve it.
As the case unfolds, even Chief Justice John Roberts finds himself caught in the storm, facing professional fallout that could mark the end of his storied career.

Media analyst Mark Dice breaks down Ukrainian President Zelensky's contentious White House visit that ended with Trump kicking him out. The heated exchange included Trump telling Zelensky "you're in no position to dictate" and JD Vance questioning why Zelensky hasn't thanked America for its support. The confrontation escalated to the point where Zelensky was asked to leave, with even CNN commentators expressing shock at the unprecedented diplomatic incident. The video also examines the national debt clock hitting $36 trillion and criticizes "conservative Inc." influencers for hyping up redacted Epstein documents as breakthrough revelations when they contained already publicly available information from years earlier.

Kash Patel Takes Oath On Bhagwad Gita In The 'Indian Treaty Room', Sworn In By AG Pam Bondi
Indian-American Kash Patel took the oath as the FBI director, swearing on the Bhagavad Gita. Kash Patel's girlfriend and family stood beside him as he recited the oath. Other members of his family were seated in the front row. US President Donald Trump also attended Kash Patel's swearing-in ceremony. The Indian Treaty Room, a historic chamber in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, served as the venue for Indian-American Kash Patel’s swearing-in. Originally built in the late 19th century as the Navy Department Library and Reception Room, the elaborately decorated Indian Treaty Room has since hosted significant events, including presidential press conferences and high-level meetings, and also served as one of the rooms to sign treaties. The exact origin of the name ‘Indian Treaty Room’ and its connection to India remains unclear. However, it is believed that the room earned its name in the 1930s when the War Department stored treaties signed with American Indian nations there.
DeSantis Exposes Shady RINO Agenda to SABOTAGE Trump’s Deportations
Republicans in the Florida legislature are pushing back against Governor Ron DeSantis’ plan to support President Trump’s mass deportation plan. Instead, they’ve proposed the “TRUMP Act,” which DeSantis says is very misleadingly named: “They thought if they came in, gutted the enforcement of doing what we need to do, and just named it the “TRUMP Act,” that somehow, they would be able to get away with that.” Gov. DeSantis joins Glenn to argue that “RINOs” are trying to give immigration enforcement powers to the Commissioner of Agriculture, who will do the bidding of companies that want to use illegal immigrants for cheap farm labor: “That’s like the fox guarding the henhouse! They don’t want to enforce it. Are you kidding me?! … I don’t want to house the illegals. I want to DEPORT the illegals.”
Greg talked about Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg's statement about easing up fact-checking restrictions on his social media platforms, exposed Gov. Gavin Newsom for his lack of leadership, and more on NEWSMAX.
According to the media, there’s a big fight going on between Republicans over the House’s new slimmed-down continuing resolution spending bill. Some, including President-elect Donald Trump, wanted the bill to pass. But others, like Texas Representative Chip Roy, argued that it still wasn’t ready. However, is the Republican “unity coalition” really crumbling, as the media claims? Rep. Chip Roy joins Glenn to explain what’s really going on. He argues that he IS trying to give Trump and DOGE a 100-day “runway” to fix the country. But he makes the case that, by increasing the debt ceiling by $5 trillion without agreeing on other cuts, this bill gives bad actors the ability to be an “obstacle” to Trump’s agenda further down the line. Plus, he reveals to Glenn that he believes some of these bad actors LEAKED false information about his stance on Mar-a-Lago.

President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Brooke Rollins, a former White House domestic policy adviser, to serves as his agriculture secretary in his new administration.
On Saturday, Trump released a statement praising Rollins’ “commitment to support the American Farmer, defense of American Food Self-Sufficiency, and the restoration of Agriculture-dependent American Small Towns.”
“A proud Graduate of Texas A&M University, Brooke earned a Bachelor’s of Science Degree in Agriculture Development, and J.D., with Honors,” the announcement said. “From her upbringing in the small and Agriculture-centered town of Glen Rose, Texas, to her years of leadership involvement with Future Farmers of America and 4H, to her generational Family Farming background, to guiding her four kids in their show cattle careers, Brooke has a practitioner’s experience, along with deep Policy credentials in both Nonprofit and Government leadership at the State and National levels.”
Rollins held the roles of director of the Office of American Innovation and acting director of the Domestic Policy Council during the Trump administration.
Following her term in the White House, she co-founded the America First Policy Institute, a think tank dedicated to advancing policies aligned with the administration’s agenda.
Rollins released a statement following the announcement, thanking Trump for the opportunity.
Thank you, Mr. President, for the opportunity to serve as the next U.S. Secretary of Agriculture. It will be the honor of my life to fight for America’s farmers and our Nation’s agricultural communities.
