America First Unfiltered: Ending the Great Ripoff, Securing Our Future

Welcome to this week’s edition of America First Unfiltered — your go-to briefing spotlighting the monumental victories from the White House that put you, the American people, first.

Liberation Day: Ending the Great Economic Ripoff

This week, President Trump declared an economic emergency, marking what he calls Liberation Day. Facing down a $1.2 trillion trade deficit inherited from the previous administration, President Trump is taking decisive action to end the decades-long great ripoff of America.

By demanding fair treatment from our global trading partners — the same treatment we extend to them — President Trump is inviting manufacturing to come home where it belongs. His bold move is not just about today; it’s about building a renewed future of economic strength that will echo for generations.

A Vision for America’s Prosperity: Made in America, Again

At the heart of President Trump’s economic strategy is a clear and unwavering commitment to fair tariffs and national self-reliance. This long-term vision will:

• Create millions of American jobs.

• Protect national and economic security.

• Restore Made in America as the standard of excellence around the world.

The Trump administration is making it clear: America’s best days are not behind us — they are just beginning.

Education Restored to the States: Leadership on Capitol Hill

True leadership was on display this week as Education Secretary Linda McMahon hosted an important dialogue on Capitol Hill regarding President Trump’s directive to return education control to the states.

Lawmakers praised the initiative, seeing it as a powerful step toward local empowerment and restoring parental and community involvement in American education. The America First approach once again puts the power back where it belongs — with the people.

Border Security Breakthrough: Record-Low Crossings

In historic news on the border, Border Patrol Chief Michael Banks announced that the nation has seen the lowest number of border apprehensions in history under President Trump’s leadership.

Highlights include:

• Only 7,180 crossings last month, compared to over 150,000 monthly under the previous administration.

• 85 miles of new border wall construction planned for 2025, with hundreds more miles to follow.

The results are clear: the most secure border on record and a safer America for all.

Fighting Ticket Price Gouging: A Win for Fans and Artists

In a move applauded across the entertainment world, President Trump signed an executive order targeting price gouging in ticket sales for concerts and live events. This action brings transparency and accessibility back to fans and artists alike — even Kid Rock is giving it two thumbs up!

America First means every American deserves a fair shot, from manufacturing floors to concert floors.

Building a Century of Greatness

The America First Policy Institute proudly supports these bold initiatives. Together, we are witnessing the birth of a new era — one where America will stand stronger, freer, and more prosperous for the next hundred years.

Stay tuned for more victories — because when America wins, you win.
