Have you ever wondered how China sells us a toaster for $30 and still makes a profit? Here’s the secret: It’s not innovation — it’s exploitation. 

While global elites squawk about “free trade,” President Donald Trump has put his foot down and lifted the lid on what has let foreign nations eat our lunch: forced labor and modern-day slavery. 

On April 2, 2025, Trump declared “Liberation Day” and imposed reciprocal tariffs on dozens of foreign countries, in part to stop America from turning a blind eye to countries that take advantage of the U.S. market by destroying domestic competition in favor of cheap imports. But Trump’s tariffs were not just economic, they were moral. Rather than relying on foreign countries, particularly China, that benefit from abusive labor practices, Trump put America first by deciding the U.S. must stop pretending inexpensive products come with no human cost.

The Democrats, of course, lost their minds. The same cohort that spent Trump’s first term trying to smear the populist change-maker as a “racist” was outraged that he was doing something about real slavery.
