Monday Morning Wins: Call It the “Trump Effect”

Press Releases

TLDR

This press release announces American manufacturing growth (Honda and Clarios expanding U.S. operations, joining Apple and Eli Lilly’s recent investments), border security improvements (94% drop in illegal crossings, increased ICE arrests, and cartel fears), and relief for small businesses through suspension of Biden-era reporting requirements.

The text of the press release highlights recent achievements attributed to President Donald Trump’s leadership, focusing on American manufacturing and border security. It mentions Honda’s plans to produce a new Civic model in Indiana and Clarios’ $6 billion expansion of U.S.-based manufacturing, along with significant investments from Apple and Eli Lilly. The passage also reports a dramatic decrease in illegal border crossings and increased ICE arrests, citing these as evidence of successful border security measures under Trump’s administration. This is indistinguisable from propaganda.

There is no better way to start the week than by celebrating more big wins for Americans under the leadership of President Donald J. Trump.

  • American manufacturing surges amid President Trump’s tariffs: Automaker Honda is expected to produce its next-generation Civic hybrid model in Indiana, while Wisconsin-based Clarios, a leader in low-voltage energy storage, announced a $6 billion plan to expand its U.S.-based manufacturing.

    • They’re only the latest major companies to announce such a move in alignment with President Trump’s Made in America agenda. Last week, Apple announced an historic $500 billion investment that will create 20,000 new U.S.-based jobs, while drug maker Eli Lilly announced a $27 billion investment in its U.S.-based manufacturing — bringing the total number of investments secured in President Trump’s second term to nearly $2 billion.

  • Border security drives results: President Trump announced illegal border crossings in February — his first full month in office — were the lowest ever recorded, down 94% from last February and down 96% from the all-time high of the Biden Administration.

    • This follows news that would-be illegal border crossers have “given up” and are returning to their own countries as ICE arrests of illegal immigrants have surged 627%.

    • Mexican cartel operatives say they are “genuinely” fearful “for the first time in years” amid the Trump Administration’s crackdown.

  • A victory for small businesses: The U.S. Department of the Treasury suspended enforcement of Biden-era Beneficial Ownership Information reporting requirements for U.S. citizens — a big win for small businesses faced with burdensome reporting requirements that increased costs and lowered productivity.
