He really is the best.

Trump will probably agree.

They love him for his realness.
Trump keeping it real as usual. Fed has been squeezing regular Americans for too long. Time to lower those rates and let the economy breathe!

Secretary Bessent has been a trooper.
Looks like Scott's job is on the line! Get those rates down fast, or it might be time to polish up that resume!

He'll make it work!
Trump is calling it like it is. Whether you agree or not, he’s not holding back.

Trump is always thinking three steps ahead and he is sending a message. Everyone who was supposed to get the message, got it.
