The swamp isn’t just deep — it’s bipartisan. And nothing proves that more than what just happened on Capitol Hill.
President Trump, sticking to his America First promise, took a bold stand this week by announcing a 10% baseline tariff on all imports beginning April 5. This was no random move. It was a calculated and long-overdue strike against decades of globalist trade deals that gutted American manufacturing and shipped millions of jobs overseas. And he didn’t stop there — the “worst offenders” will get slapped even harder on April 9.
Standing in the White House Rose Garden, Trump declared April 2 as Liberation Day. That’s right — a declaration of economic independence from the corrupt, rigged system that’s been bleeding America dry for half a century. He laid out the data, the disparities, the one-sided trade abuse — and then he took action.
But the Uniparty couldn’t let that stand, could they?
Enter Senator Chuck Grassley, of all people, who decided to team up with far-left Democrat Senator Maria Cantwell to sabotage it all. Together, they introduced the Trade Review Act of 2025 — a Trojan horse disguised as a “check on executive power,” but in reality, a full-blown congressional hijack of the president’s ability to defend American workers.
Their bill would force President Trump to notify Congress within 48 hours of issuing any tariff — and then he’d have to beg them for permission to keep it in place. If Congress doesn’t approve within 60 days? The tariffs vanish. Poof. Gone. Globalists rejoice.
You think China’s going to wait around for 60 days while Congress “deliberates”? Please. This bill gives foreign lobbyists a seat at the table and strips the president of the very leverage he needs to put America first.
Let’s be real: Grassley used to be one of the good ones — a fighter against the Deep State, a dependable ally on immigration. But Big Ag has long had him in their back pocket, and they’re terrified Trump’s tariffs might cut into their sweetheart export deals.
If this bill ever becomes law, it’s game over for tariff power. The executive branch would have its hands tied, forced to grovel to a divided and donor-driven Congress before protecting American industries.
This isn’t about “oversight.” It’s sabotage. The Uniparty just declared war on Trump’s trade agenda — and by extension, the American worker.
