In order to protect our Great Heavy Truck Manufacturers from unfair outside competition, I will be imposing, as of October 1st, 2025, a 25% Tariff on all "Heavy (Big!) Trucks" made in other parts of the World. Therefore, our Great Large Truck Company Manufacturers, such as Peterbilt, Kenworth, Freightliner, Mack Trucks, and others, will be protected from the onslaught of outside interruptions. We need our Truckers to be financially healthy and strong, for many reasons, but above all else, for National Security purposes!
The Movie Industry in America is DYING a very fast death. Other Countries are offering all sorts of incentives to draw our filmmakers and studios away from the United States. Hollywood, and many other areas within the U.S.A., are being devastated. This is a concerted effort by other Nations and, therefore, a National Security threat. It is, in addition to everything else, messaging and propaganda! Therefore, I am authorizing the Department of Commerce, and the United States Trade Representative, to immediately begin the process of instituting a 100% Tariff on any and all Movies coming into our Country that are produced in Foreign Lands. WE WANT MOVIES MADE IN AMERICA, AGAIN!

I am totally against the once great and powerful U.S. Steel being bought by a foreign company, in this case Nippon Steel of Japan. Through a series of Tax Incentives and Tariffs, we will make U.S. Steel Strong and Great Again, and it will happen FAST! As President, I will block this deal from happening. Buyer Beware!!!

Here is the deal that I will be offering to every major company and manufacturer on earth...I will give you the lowest taxes, the lowest energy costs, the lowest regulatory burden, and free access to the best and biggest market on the planet—but ONLY if you make your product here in America and hire American workers for the job! If you DON’T make your product here, then you will have to pay a very substantial tariff when you send your product into the United States of America!

So as your president, here is the deal that I will be offering to every major company and manufacturer on Earth. I will give you the lowest taxes, the lowest energy costs, the lowest regulatory burden, and free access to the best and biggest market on the planet, but only if you make your product here in America. It all goes away if you don't make your product here and hire American workers for the job. If you don't make your product here, then you will have to pay a tariff, a very substantial tariff when you send your product into the United States. And by the way, you know, for years they knocked the word, the word tariff properly used is a beautiful word. One of the most beautiful words I've ever heard, it's music to my ears. A lot of bad people didn't like that word, but now they're finding out I was right. And we will take in hundreds of billions of dollars into our treasury and use that money to benefit the American citizens. And it will not cause inflation, by the way. And you know, I took in from China hundreds of billions of dollars in taxes and tariffs. And I had no inflation. We didn't have any inflation, 1.2%. We had essentially no inflation. Now you've had over the last four years, you've had the highest inflation. I think in the history of our country, somebody said, no, sir, it's only 58 years. Well, that's pretty bad too. I think it's really in the history of our country. This is the policy that built America and this is the policy that is going to save America. It's going to save us because we have gone so far down in so many different ways. Not to mention, not to mention the border, not to mention 21 million people pouring in from places unknown, totally. But like I've always called it, because it's a very beautiful and simple term, it's called America first, we're putting America first.

“Trump Vows U.S. Tariffs on All Foreign Imports to Protect American Jobs”
The reason that the small truck business in the U.S. is such a go to favorite is that, for many years, Tariffs of 25% have been put on small trucks coming into our country. It is called the “chicken tax.” If we did that with cars coming in, many more cars would be built here.....
We must protect our country and our workers. Our steel industry is in bad shape. IF YOU DON’T HAVE STEEL, YOU DON’T HAVE A COUNTRY!
Our Steel and Aluminum industries (and many others) have been decimated by decades of unfair trade and bad policy with countries from around the world. We must not let our country, companies and workers be taken advantage of any longer. We want free, fair and SMART TRADE!
For reasons only they can explain, the @USChamber wants to continue our bad trade deals rather than renegotiating and making them better.
Word is that Ford Motor, because of my constant badgering at packed events, is going to cancel their deal to go to Mexico and stay in U.S.
The Trans-Pacific Partnership will increase our trade deficits &, send even more jobs overseas. This is a bad deal. Time for smart trade!
South Korea is absolutely killing us on trade deals. Their surplus vs U.S. is massive - and we pay for their protection. WHO NEGOTIATES?
We should be concerned about the American worker &, invest here. Not grant amnesty to illegals or waste $7B in Africa.
I like John McCain but we have to start rebuilding the United States instead of countries who hate us and want us to fail - be smart!
China is primed to continue to rob us and steal our jobs through their exports http://t.co/eShZeqgZ We need @MittRomney to rein them in.
The Chinese want to steal our jobs and technology--that includes so called green energy which they make but (cont) http://t.co/pAhyD1tT
""It's a plain fact: free trade requires having fair rules that apply to everyone.""#TimeToGetTough
America's trade deficit with China is one of our greatest national security threats. Time for Fair Trade. We must produce our own products.
We must stop outsourcing our jobs overseas and end our multi-billion dollar trade deficits.
Stop "The China Curse" -- Pass the Chinese Currency Bill!
We can create jobs in the American economy by protecting our own manufacturing sector.

China's business interests reach far and wide---even domestically within our borders. We need to reassess our relationship.
