Trump has reversed the Biden-made manufacturing decline

COMMENTARY

By Peter Navarro - Tuesday, February 10, 2026

OPINION:


As the Trump economy begins to boom even as inflation moderates, Democrats and the anti-Trump media are desperate for a spin that might discredit Trumponomics.

Their latest Hail Mary: pushing a counterfactual narrative that President Trump’s tariffs are hurting, rather than stimulating, a manufacturing revival for blue-collar America.

The latest manufacturing data obliterates that lie.

In January, the ISM Manufacturing Index jumped 4.7 points to 52.6. That wasn’t just an estimate beat; it was a blowout, and an important one.

The ISM Manufacturing Index is the most widely followed survey of factory activity worldwide. When it moves above 50, the manufacturing economy is expanding.

When it jumps nearly 5 points in a single month to decisively push past 50, something fundamental has changed.

That “something” is Trumponomics finally overpowering the wreckage left behind by Bidenomics. The 52.6 reading marks the first decisive return to expansion since August 2022, ending a manufacturing downturn that dominated the latter half of the Biden presidency.

Curiously, although the ISM manufacturing index is generally regarded as a leading indicator, it has been late to the Trump manufacturing party this time. Indeed, throughout 2025, numerous other hard data had already been flashing green.

Monks’ Walk for Peace ends in praise in Washington

The monks have finally arrived in the nation’s capital, after 108 days.

A group of Buddhist monks reached the District on foot on Tuesday in their Walk for Peace, ending the 2,300-mile trek that began in Texas.

They reached the Washington National Cathedral in their single-file ensemble, greeted by a chorus of cheers, before finishing their route at the National Mall.

More than 1,100 onlookers lined their route leading to the grand entrance of the cathedral, offering flowers, heartfelt thanks and applause before a quiet settled over the crowd — a respite from everyday political tensions.

The leader of the walk, the Venerable Bhikkhu Pannakara, stood in front of the steps lined with interfaith leaders to counsel the crowd into being mindful of peace.

“Peace is something that we’ve been looking for so long,” he said. “Peace is something that we are seeking for so many years. Yet we still have to find it.We cannot find it. It’s been with us. It never left us. It’s just that we cannot see it.”

“You have locked it and put them in the box, and you have left it somewhere. We are not walking from Fort Worth, Texas, towards the D.C. to bring you any peace, but to raise awareness of peace so that you can unlock that box and free it,” he said.

He coaxed the crowd into chanting together: “Today is going to be my peaceful day.”

For a Troubled Britain, a Lesson from Japan

The contrast between America's great island allies on opposite ends of the world couldn't be more drastic.

Japan has just given its commonsense conservative prime minister, Sanae Takaichi, a two-thirds supermajority in the national legislature's Lower House; her Liberal Democratic Party took the highest proportion of seats of any party since World War II.

It's an enormous vote of confidence not only in Takaichi's economic agenda but also for her willingness to get tough with China.

Beijing's mouthpieces have called Takaichi an "evil witch," with China's consul general in Osaka threatening, "the dirty neck that sticks itself in must be cut off" in response to Takaichi's indication Japan would aid Taiwan against an invasion.

Such incendiary language didn't intimidate Takaichi — nor, it turns out, Japan's voters.

Yet even as Japan was rallying to its courageous prime minister, China was inflicting humiliation on America's closest European ally.

Communist authorities in Hong Kong — which was a British colony until 1999 — have just sentenced the businessman and free-speech champion Jimmy Lai to 20 years in prison.

The 78-year-old Lai, who holds British citizenship, will die behind bars under that sentence, but China isn't worried about the U.K.'s reaction as long as Keir Starmer is prime minister there.

Just last month, the British government approved Beijing's plans to build a vast new "mega-embassy" in London at the site of the former Royal Mint Court.

CNN notes that Xi Jinping has taken a personal interest in the complex and brought it up in his very first call with the then-newly elected Starmer in 2024.

Not that a larger presence for the People's Republic of China in the very heart of London is the Labour government's only recent concession:

Starmer has worked tirelessly to hand over the Chagos Islands, a British territory in the Indian Ocean, to Mauritius, an African island nation with tight connections to China.

This is no act of "decolonization."

Trump Now Eyeing Sending Second Carrier to Middle East to Cow Iran

Parking a warship off of someone's coast has been an international intimidation tactic since Grog and Yook first loaded up a raft with rocks and floated it downstream to the clan of the guy who stole a reindeer pelt, to convince him to give it back. Time was when we'd send a battleship, so whoever was getting froggy could look out and see those 16-inch guns pointed their way. Now it's an aircraft carrier task group, but the effect is much the same. In all these cases, we're showing bad guys what the "or else" looks like.

Iran doesn't seem to have been too impressed by President Trump's sending one aircraft carrier to their region of the world. So now he's thinking of sending another one. 

President Donald Trump is weighing deploying a second aircraft carrier to the Middle East as the U.S. continues talks with Iran over its nuclear program.

Trump commented during an interview with Axios Tuesday, saying he would consider the move if the talks with the Islamic Republic fail.

The president is set to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Wednesday at the White House, marking their seventh meeting since Trump took office over a year ago.

New Report: 300 F-47s and 200 B-21s Needed to Defeat China

The American F-22 Raptor may be the best air-superiority fighter in the world, but we only have 185 of them, and no more will be built. The F-35 is struggling to fill some of the roles of several other aircraft. The new F-47 is some years away yet. The same applies to the new B-21 stealth bomber.

We just don't have enough aircraft. A Mitchell Institute study has released findings along those lines, noting that for a near-peer conflict, we will need no less than 500 6th-generation fighters and bombers.

The U.S. Air Force must buy at least 500 sixth-generation fighters and bombers — more than it already plans — to be able to prevail in a war against China, the Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies said Monday.

In its policy paper, “Strategic Attack: Maintaining the Air Force’s Capacity to Deny Enemy Sanctuaries,” experts from the Mitchell Institute argue that the Air Force needs at least 300 next-generation F-47 fighters and at least 200 B-21 Raider stealth bombers to counter China. The Air Force has previously signaled it plans to buy at least 185 F-47s from Boeing and at least 100 Northrop Grumman-made B-21s.

TIPSHEET

US Attorney Asks Judge to Dismiss Indictment Against Steve Bannon

Jeff Charles | February 10, 2026 12:15 PM

U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro asked a federal court to dismiss the indictment against podcaster and former adviser to President Donald Trump, Steve Bannon.

Bannon spent four months in jail after Democrats in Congress held him in contempt for refusing to testify about the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol building. Pirro’s request is aimed at removing the conviction from Bannon’s record, according to Politico.

In a motion signed by U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro — and without the signature of any career prosecutors — the Justice Department asked U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols to dismiss the two-count indictment that DOJ brought against Bannon more than four years ago. Nichols, a Trump appointee, presided over a week-long jury trial of Bannon in 2022 that resulted in his conviction on criminal contempt charges.

Federal prosecutors brought those charges in November 2021 after the Democratic-led House voted to hold Bannon in contempt. The Jan. 6 select committee, convened that year by Speaker Nancy Pelosi, had subpoenaed Bannon to describe his contacts with key organizers of the Jan. 6 rally that preceded the attack on the Capitol that day. They also hoped to learn details about his contacts with President Donald Trump in his effort to subvert the results of the 2020 election.

The end of the case is, in some ways, symbolic. Bannon already served a four-month prison sentence in 2024 for his conviction on the charges. But he has appealed his conviction to the Supreme Court, which was awaiting a response from the Justice Department before Monday’s move by Pirro. If Nichols grants the motion to dismiss, it would likely end the pending Supreme Court case and erase Bannon’s jury conviction.

Solicitor General John Sauer confirmed this goal in a brief filing to the justices Monday.

“The government has determined in its prosecutorial discretion that dismissal of this criminal case is in the interests of justice,” Sauer wrote, asking the justices to effectively erase lower-court rulings that upheld Bannon’s conviction.

Trump adviser Peter Navarro was similarly tried and convicted for defying the Jan. 6 committee, and is also appealing his conviction. Navarro has said he wants to pursue that fight rather than seek clemency from Trump. Like Bannon, Navarro spent four months in prison.

Bessent: Iranian Leadership Wiring Money Out ‘Like Crazy’

The end of Iran’s Islamic leadership may be near, the Treasury Secretary tells senators.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told the Senate Banking Committee on Thursday that Iranian leaders were moving money out of the country “like crazy.”

“The rats are leaving the ship, and that is a good sign that they know the end may be near,” Bessent told the committee.

The Treasury Department’s monitoring of Iranian financial transactions is part of the Trump administration’s strategy to put pressure on Iranian leader Ali Khamenei’s Islamic Republic as the world’s leading sponsor of terrorism, Bessent said.

A dollar shortage and collapse of the Iranian currency is causing banks to fail and sparking rocket-high inflation.

Rubio’s Rise as America’s Top Diplomat

WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump often praises his Cabinet members, but no one has received as much attention lately as his secretary of state, Marco Rubio.

At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Jan. 21, Trump joked, “I became a diplomat for the first time.”

He then pointed to Rubio in the audience, crediting him as his mentor in diplomacy.

“You know who taught me that—Marco Rubio. He said, ‘Let me teach you about diplomacy.’”

Secretary of State Marco Rubio called the sentencing of Jimmy Lai, a British-born anti-Chinese Communist Party (CCP) activist, an “unjust and tragic” verdict in a statement on Monday.

Rubio stated China “will go to extraordinary lengths” to suppress freedom in Hong Kong, and urges the nation to “grant Mr. Lai humanitarian parole.” Lai was sentenced to 20 years in jail following a trial that lasted over two years. (RELATED: Hong Kong Court Finds Pro-Democracy Activist, Media Tycoon Jimmy Lai Guilty In National Security Trial)

“The Hong Kong High Court’s decision to sentence Jimmy Lai to 20 years is an unjust and tragic conclusion to this case,” the statement reads. “It shows the world that Beijing will go to extraordinary lengths to silence those who advocate fundamental freedoms in Hong Kong, casting aside the international commitments Beijing made in the 1984 Sino-British Joint Declaration.”

Rubio cited a 1984 treaty signed between the United Kingdom and China, in which China agreed that citizens of Hong Kong would maintain freedom of the press in the special administrative region.

“After enduring a trial lasting two years, and detention in prison for more than five, Mr. Lai and his family have suffered enough,” the statement continues. “The United States urges the authorities to grant Mr. Lai humanitarian parole.”

Rubio previously criticized the guilty verdict handed down in December 2025, claiming, “Mr. Lai’s health has severely deteriorated during more than 1,800 days in prison.”

Republican Michigan Rep. John Moolenaar, Chairman of the House Select Committee on China, called Lai’s sentencing “the latest stain on the human rights record of the Chinese Communist Party” in a statement posted to X.

It’s Time for America to Start Building Again—Permitting Reform Is the Engine

Commentary


So many of the challenges the U.S. now faces, from supply chain security to energy and housing affordability, require the same solution: we must start building again. And doing so demands making it far easier to build. We need policy that unlocks American ingenuity, that enables problem solving and puts people to work instead of placing self-imposed barriers in the way.

From minerals and energy projects to roads, bridges, and even housing, essential investments are stuck in a permitting system that is remarkably ill-suited for today’s economic and geopolitical realities. If we want a stronger economy, more secure supply chains and lower costs for American families, permitting reform isn’t optional. It’s an imperative.
