America This Week: What’s Been Going On (March 31 – April 6, 2025)

It’s been another wild week in America.

President Trump is shaking up the global economy with massive tariffs aimed at securing American industry, sending retailers and globalists into a panic. The American people may approve, though.

Leftist activists continue their war on Elon Musk and Tesla, escalating from vandalism to outright domestic terrorism.

Over the weekend, protesters flooded the streets in so-called “Hands Off!” rallies, whining about Trump and Musk while pushing their usual laundry list of falsehoods and alleged “resistance”.

In entertainment, Disney’s “Snow White” bombed spectacularly, yet the media refuses to acknowledge the obvious—audiences rejected the film because it was another soulless, woke remake.

Let’s break it all down.

Trump Unveils “Declaration of Economic Independence” with Massive Tariffs

At a White House event, President Trump announced new reciprocal tariffs to counter foreign trade practices, calling it a historic step toward economic independence. The plan imposes a 10% baseline tariff, with higher rates for China (34%) and the EU (20%), plus a 25% tariff on foreign-made cars starting at midnight. Trump argued these measures would boost U.S. prosperity, reduce taxes, and pay down debt. 

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins defended the tariffs on CNN’s State of the Union, stating they are already prompting negotiations. She emphasized the policy’s goal of strengthening domestic industries, with over 50 countries engaging in discussions. Reports indicate India won’t retaliate, while Taiwan is proposing zero tariffs and increased investment. 

Major retailers, including Walmart, now oppose Trump’s tariffs despite previously backing his America First agenda. The National Retail Federation warns of higher consumer costs, though economists dispute inflation concerns. Critics argue Big Retail prioritizes global supply chains over U.S. workers, risking backlash from Trump’s MAGA base. 

Despite media criticism, Trump’s approval rating jumped 4 points to 53%, per a DailyMail.com/J.L. Partners poll. Gains include +13 points among young voters, +6 among Independents and Democrats, and +17 among Black voters. Public support for immigration restrictions remains strong, with many Americans seeing tariffs as a strategy to restore U.S. manufacturing and economic security.

Leftists Continue Wave of Attacks on Tesla and Think It’s Heroic

Over 50 attacks on Tesla sites across the U.S. and 17 internationally have been reported, ranging from vandalism to arson. Attorney General Pamela Bondi labeled them domestic terrorism. Major incidents include firebombings in Las Vegas and Austin and arson in Colorado, Berlin, and France.

A “Global Day of Action” targeted 500 Tesla locations, with left-wing groups accused of fueling the violence. Elon Musk is calling for authorities to act. These attacks vary in method but share a common thread of cowardice and malice.

Davis Nafshun, 27, was arrested in Portland for shining a laser at Tesla workers, causing vision issues to employees. A Kansas man caused $17,000 in damage to a Tesla bought for an 18-year-old disabled girl. He faces criminal charges. In Florida, Claudia Benson was arrested for jumping on a Tesla, shattering its windshield, then spitting on an EMT trying to help her. She faces multiple charges.

Leftists Stage Cringy “Hands Off!” Rallies in Several Cities on Saturday

Crowds of Leftists protested in “Hands Off!” rallies against President Trump and Elon Musk, demanding they keep their “hands off” healthcare, Social Security, civil rights, and education.

Demonstrations took place in Boston, Washington, D.C., and New York City, with smug and sanctimonious individuals holding signs like “Un-Trump The World” and “Democracy Dies When We Stay Silent.” Organizers falsely accused Trump and congressional Republicans of trying to gut essential services.

Videos showed drumming, chanting, with protests allegedly scheduled in Ohio, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania.

“Snow White” Bombs in Theatres Because It Sucks, But Leftists Still Can’t and Won’t Figure It Out

Disney’s “Snow White” bombed hard, and entertainment media is spinning excuses to protect the company. Claims that live-action adaptations of pre-1989 Disney films struggle don’t hold up—Jungle Book (2016), Cinderella (2015), and Maleficent (2014) all made huge box office numbers.

The real issue? Disney butchered (or “woke-raped”) the original, making it woke, and lead actress Rachel Zegler alienated fans by trashing the classic. Attempts to blame Snow White’s failure on outside factors ignore the obvious: the movie sucked, the marketing was terrible, and audiences rejected it. Meanwhile, Disney shills are too busy “living their truths” and kissing Bob Iger’s ass to admit the actual truth.
