MolotovCocktail says

Because success speaks for itself. If they couldn't kill Trump's economy in the cradle to continue the Kommie/Dem programs of demoralization, destruction of the Republic and hyperreality propaganda, then the population will notice the immediate economic benefits: not the least of which is the cessation of inflation taxation. Workers dependent on tips know they can keep the money without paying taxes and they are already grateful.

Awareness of increasing prosperity, employment and investment can't be reversed by four TV female witches on "The View" screaming lies, or adrenochrome addicted fake comedians like Colbert.

Gulf Shrimpers salute Trump's Trade Deal

The newly negotiated trade agreements impose 19% and 20% tariffs on Indonesian and Vietnamese shrimp, respectively, replacing the previous 10% rate.

The deals also include labor and environmental reform commitments from both nations and represent part of a broader framework to combat forced labor, banned antibiotics, and illegal fishing practices.

In a joint statement, Indonesia agreed to ban imports produced with forced labor, ease U.S. market access for key exports, and address labor and environmental enforcement gaps.

Vietnam, meanwhile, agreed to a 20% tariff on most exports, with even higher rates – up to 40% – for goods suspected of being rerouted Chinese transshipments.
