BOTTOM LINE UP FRONT

China is trying to play hardball — but President Trump is five moves ahead.

While the Left cries about “economic pain,” Trump is dismantling a decades-old system of American dependence built by Clinton, Obama, and Biden.

It’s uncomfortable now because he’s finally doing what weak men before him never had the guts to do: standing up to the Chinese Communist Party and restoring our national supply chains.

WHAT THE LEFT IS SAYING

The mainstream spin is as lazy as ever.

In the clip making rounds, the narrative is that Trump acts recklessly, and that “smarter” people have to clean up his mess. The guest parrots Beijing’s propaganda almost word for word — claiming China could inflict economic pain by cutting off rare earth mineral exports, as if the U.S. is powerless without them.

Let’s be clear:

• This is fear-mongering, not fact.
• It’s designed to undermine U.S. strength in the global arena.
• And it echoes the K Street–CCP alliance that’s profited off America’s weakness for decades.

The Left is more interested in protecting their cozy lobbying contracts than protecting our national security.

WHAT THE FACTS REALLY ARE

Here’s what’s actually happening — and it’s not what CNN will tell you:

• In April 2025, President Trump ordered the Department of Energy and Department of Defense to accelerate U.S. rare earth mineral production under the National Strategic Materials Supply Act, passed in early 2024 thanks to GOP congressional majorities.
  → DOE Strategic Materials Initiative
• As of Q2 2025, rare earth mining in the U.S. is up 137% compared to 2023 levels — with operations rapidly scaling in Texas, Alaska, and Nevada.
• MP Materials, under a newly inked Trump defense contract, will begin domestic dysprosium production by Q3 2025, drastically cutting China’s leverage in both defense systems and electric vehicle components.
  → MP Materials Press Release
• In March 2025, Attorney General Pam Bondi launched a sweeping Foreign Influence Purge, resulting in indictments of multiple lobbyists and ex-Hill staffers for illegal advocacy on behalf of Chinese state-owned mining firms.
  → DOJ Indictment Record

Trump’s trade team — negotiating over 100 trade deals globally — has made one thing clear:

No fair trade with the U.S. unless nations cut China out of critical supply chains.

Trump isn’t escalating instability. He’s cleaning up the mess left by decades of D.C. cowardice.

HOW TRUMP SUPPORTERS SEE IT

Trump supporters get it: This isn’t chaos — this is liberation.

China’s tantrums prove that Trump is hitting their weak spot. They’re panicking because they know what’s coming — a self-sufficient America that no longer relies on CCP exports or puppet global institutions.

• Biden gave away our factories.
• Obama gave away our leverage.
• Clinton gave away our tech.

Trump is taking it ALL back.

This isn’t just economic brinkmanship. This is a bold “America First” reset. It’s why the globalist elite — from the UN to Wall Street — are sweating bullets.

Their profit pipelines are closing.
Their influence operations are being exposed.
And the America they controlled for 30 years is no longer for sale.
