Part 5/14:
The Fight Over Globalist Economics and the Rise of Nationalism
The shift in economic policy reflects a broader geopolitical and cultural battle: the fight between globalist managed economies and a reemerging wave of economic nationalism. Without exception, the majority of the American people favor reciprocal tariffs—taxes on imported goods from nations that tax US exports—viewing such measures as fair and necessary.
Despite media narratives portraying tariffs as harmful, polling consistently shows over 60% approval among voters, indicating strong public support for protecting American industries. President Trump’s stance emphasizes that tariffs are not equivalent to tax hikes but rather tools to restore fairness and national economic sovereignty.
