Remember when the so-called "experts" in the mainstream media told you President Trump's tariffs would destroy the auto industry? Remember the endless parade of doom-and-gloom predictions from CNN, MSNBC, and the rest of the legacy media cabal?
Well, Patriots, it's time for a victory lap.
President Donald J. Trump touched down in Michigan Tuesday, touring Ford's legendary Rouge Center — birthplace of the iconic F-150 pickup truck — to celebrate what can only be described as a stunning vindication of America First economics. One year into his second term, the American auto industry isn't just surviving. It's thriving.
The Numbers Don't Lie
2025 marked the strongest year for new vehicle sales since 2019. Let that sink in. While Biden's disastrous policies left American families struggling with sky-high prices and economic uncertainty, President Trump has engineered a complete turnaround in just twelve months.
Ford posted its best annual sales in six years. General Motors reported soaring vehicle sales with its strongest SUV performance in decades. Even Jeep — which had been bleeding sales since 2018 — finally turned the corner. This isn't spin, folks. These are cold, hard facts that no amount of media manipulation can hide.
Prices DOWN, Savings UP
Here's what the fake news absolutely doesn't want you to know: both new and used vehicle prices have decreased since President Trump took office. Gas prices? At their lowest average in nearly five years. Vehicle maintenance, repair, and insurance costs? All trending downward.
And thanks to the "One Big Beautiful Bill" passed by the Republican Congress, American families can now deduct interest on auto loans for vehicles made right here in the USA. That's real money back in the pockets of hardworking Americans — the kind of common-sense policy that the Biden regime never would have considered.
Billions Pouring Into American Manufacturing
The investment announcements keep rolling in like a freight train. Ford, Stellantis, General Motors, Honda, Toyota — they're all betting big on American workers and American facilities. Billions of dollars flowing into domestic manufacturing, creating good-paying jobs and strengthening supply chains that never should have been shipped overseas in the first place.
This is what happens when you have a President who actually fights for American workers instead of selling them out to globalist interests and Chinese manufacturing.
The Tariff "Disaster" That Never Was
Perhaps nothing exposes the media's dishonesty more than their hysterical tariff predictions. CBS, NBC, CNBC — they all screamed that Trump's tariffs would send car prices through the roof. "Doomcasting" doesn't even begin to describe it.
The reality? According to J.D. Power, tariffs had "no substantial impact" on vehicle prices. Even Bloomberg was forced to admit that the predicted price increases "just really hasn't happened." Ford CEO Jim Farley called the Section 232 tariffs on heavy-duty trucks a "really big deal" for reviving domestic manufacturing.
Wrong again, fake news.
Reversing Biden's War on Drivers
President Trump hasn't just encouraged growth — he's systematically dismantled the regulatory stranglehold that Democrats placed on the industry. Those onerous Biden-era fuel economy standards that would have added nearly $1,000 to the cost of every new vehicle? Gone. The universally despised stop-start requirement? Eliminated. California's electric vehicle mandates that threatened to dictate policy for the entire nation? Rescinded.
Automakers and dealers alike have praised these moves as victories for "common sense and affordability." Imagine that — a government that actually listens to industry experts and consumers instead of climate zealots and coastal elites.
America First Means Americans First
As President Trump walked the floor of the Rouge Center Tuesday, he wasn't just touring a factory. He was walking through living proof that his economic vision works. The same vision that every establishment "expert" mocked. The same policies that the media industrial complex swore would bring catastrophe.
One year in, the American auto industry is stronger than it's been in years. American workers are building American vehicles for American families at prices they can actually afford.
That's not just winning, Patriots. That's Making Driving Great Again.
The question now is simple: Will the Democrats and their media allies finally admit they were wrong? Don't hold your breath. But the American people know the truth — and they'll remember it at the ballot box.
