President Donald Trump’s Monday morning message highlights a wave of victories his administration is claiming across the economy, border security, and small business relief. Manufacturing is booming under Trump’s tariffs, with Honda and Apple leading massive investments in U.S. production. At the border, illegal crossings hit record lows in February, down 94% compared to the same time last year, as Trump’s hardline policies drive migrants to abandon attempts to cross. In another win, the Treasury Department paused burdensome Biden-era reporting rules for small businesses, cutting red tape and giving Main Street a boost. Trump’s second term is wasting no time delivering what the White House calls the Trump Effect.
Monday Morning Wins: Call It the “Trump Effect”
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.
- 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.
