🚨BREAKING: Ford CEO SHOCKS markets - backs Trump's tariffs & drops MASSIVE news about "employee pricing"

Let me break this down for you...🧵 Image
Image
2/ Ford CEO Jim Farley just went on Fox Business. He's ALL IN on Trump's tariff policies. Says Ford is "perfectly positioned" to WIN BIG in this new era.

"We think [Trump's policies are] really great for the country. We support the president's initiative."
3/ 🔥 IT GETS BETTER: Ford extending "employee pricing" to EVERYONE at least until July 4, to encourage sales to potentially nervous consumers due to new tariffs on auto imports. Image
4/ DETAILS:

- Employee pricing on ALL 2024/2025 models
- Includes gas, hybrid, plug-in & diesel
- Both Ford AND Lincoln vehicles Image
5/ MEANWHILE: Trump just signed new executive orders on auto tariffs:

- 25% tariffs on parts starting May 3rd
- BUT... U.S. assembled vehicles get special credits 🎯

Our trade partners better get serious about those zero-zero tariff deals FAST. Image
6/ And Trump's been clear: BUILD IN AMERICA = PAY LESS TARIFFS 🇺🇸 That's even for foreign car makers.

Meanwhile, GM is already moving - ramping up truck production in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

MORE AMERICAN JOBS incoming! Image
7/ Treasury Sec Bessent confirms: "Trump's been meeting with auto makers. Goal? Bring production BACK to America."

It should never have left. Politicians in both parties shouldn't have INCENTIVIZED it to leave. Image
8/ BOTTOM LINE: While the media focuses on "tariff fears," American auto manufacturing is about to have its BIGGEST comeback in decades.

Trump's making it happen...AND is forcing our "partners" to negotiate for REAL free trade.

Win-win. Image

🚨BREAKING NEWS THREAD🚨

The Trump Admin just dropped a BOMBSHELL proposal that could COMPLETELY RESHAPE America's space program

The White House wants to CANCEL NASA's OVERPRICED and UNDERPOWERED Space Launch System (SLS) and Orion spacecraft ⚠️

🧵THREAD Image
2/ Here's the SHOCKING cost comparison that explains it all:

• SLS: $4.5 BILLION per launch (just 4 astronauts)
• SpaceX Starship: $2 MILLION per launch (100+ astronauts)

Let that sink in! Talk about waste and fraud!!! Image
3/ The only people who want this boondoggle are the defense contractors and Congressmen who want this pork in their districts.

This is not space exploration. This is WORSE than what we built 50 years ago! It's a sick joke.

And @elonmusk is building the future. Image

Here's why it matters... Image

🧵THREAD - Today is the 50th Anniversary of the Fall of Saigon.

After the war President Richard Nixon devised 12 lessons from the Vietnam War. They matter more today than ever. Read on.... Image
2/ But before we get to Nixon's lessons, please check out my tribute from today: "Fifty Years After Saigon: Remembering the Nobility of a Betrayed Cause"

You won't see many takes quite like it.

rodmartin.org/p/fifty-years-…
3/ Nixon's lessons, from his 1985 book No More Vietnams:

1. Never go to war unless you intend to win.
Half-measures kill soldiers and lose wars. Victory must be the mission — not “managing” a conflict.Image
