Why Is Everyone Shocked That Trump Is Doing Exactly What He Promised?

The Democrats are at full froth daily, so they missed this crucial part regarding why Trump’s tariff agenda is a bit surprising: the man is precisely enacting what he promised. Throughout the 2024 election, the president said that he would return American wealth and end the great exodus of dollars that has gutted America’s working class. The elites and the rich have lost mountains of cash as markets are resetting—so much for Trump pushing policies that benefit the wealthy. Trump is doing, frankly, what Senator Bernie Sanders wanted to do back in 2019. So, what’s the problem?
It's time to stand fast. The market sell-off is being induced for two reasons: one, this was going to happen, tariffs or not, as the unnecessary spending under Biden is over. Second, the elites and the globalist cabal stand to lose the gravy train if Trump succeeds. They’re betting against the American worker, an insane wager, and hope to scare the nation into placing pressure on Congress to push back on the tariffs. Trump has no prospect of election on the horizon, so it’s balls to the wall on everything.
Douglas Murray notes that Trump's tariffs are shocking because he followed through on his word:

“Shark Tank’s” Kevin O’Leary had a great lecture about business and noted that successful people can distinguish signal from noise. The signal is the mandate, and noise is everything else. O’Leary spoke about developing educational software for Steve Jobs, notably “The Oregon Trail,” where a new version was in development for the next quarter. It would cost millions, but someone suggested doing a market research study of 110,000 schools, gauging teacher feedback on some features. Jobs blew a gasket, as he often did when he disagreed with his employees, which was frequently, to which he told O’Leary’s team they—the teachers (or customers)—don’t know what they want until I tell them. When O’Leary pushed back, Jobs asked if we were dominating, making money, and increasing market share? The answer was “yes” to all three, so why are we wasting time with a market research poll—they’re developing a new version; that’s the sign.
“Shut up and let’s just stay focused,” Jobs said to O’Leary.
The “Shark Tank” co-host said this was 85 percent signal; doesn’t care about your opinion, and is laser-focused on the objective and creating results. He added that Elon Musk is a 100 percent signal: the Tesla CEO will walk away from any meeting or conversation if he feels the discussion isn’t progressing toward his goals.
