MAJOR ACHIEVEMENTS OF TRUMP ADMINISTRATION
-
Many Americans are frustrated at what they consider slow progress from the Trump administration. Whatever the pet issue, they want results now, and are otherwise ready to declare failure or betrayal. This is a reflection of the high hopes of the incoming administration. There was never a way to keep up. That's why Jeffrey A. Tucker feels that people should take a few moments to consider the achievements of this administration, which have gone some distance in restoring popular government over whatever America had before.
One feature I noticed on my travels is just how suddenly nice the TSA is at the airports. I could not understand why. Employees very quickly explained their absolute exuberance that the public-sector union that used to be in charge no longer is.
The Trump administration removed collective bargaining privileges and restored normal management. This led to a wave of firings of lazy, troublesome, and incompetent workers, absolutely thrilling everyone else. This is a massive change that was hardly announced at all. But it has made a dramatic difference.
Prompted by this example, I've chronicled 50 changes that the Trump administration has made that have made life dramatically better in record time.
Defanged the Public-Sector Unions.
This happened with hardly any announcement. It pertains to nearly the whole of the government's workforce. It has emancipated the employees from their terrible unions and led to the almost immediate elevation of merit over DEI as many employees have explained to me. This is very obvious when you travel. You can actually have a human conversation with TSA employees and passport control.
Stopped BOIR.

TRADE WAR: CHINA'S WEAPONISATION OF RARE EARTHS
After Beijing announced new restrictions on exporting rare earth minerals and the specialised magnets they make, the world's auto industry warned of shortages that could force factory closures. China's recent skilful deployment of rare earth sanctions was probably the key factor in forcing Washington to reverse its tariff rises on the country. They represent a new era of Chinese economic statecraft — evidence of a sanctions policy capable of pressuring not only small neighbours but also the world's largest economy.

“Al has been driving the stock market to record highs, but the market has the look and feel of a super-bubble,” says James Rickards. He feels that “the crash could come anytime and bring the market down by 50% or more. That’s not a reason to short the major stock indices today. The bubble can last longer than anyone expects. If you short the indices, you can lose a lot of money being wrong. But it is advisable to lighten up on equity allocations and increase your allocation to cash in order to avoid the worst damage when the crash does come.”
