During the June 11, 2025, episode of The Clay Edwards Show, I celebrated what I presented as a major victory for President Donald Trump in the trade war with China. I shared a statement from Trump, which I said he posted on Truth Social and was quickly shared on X, announcing that a trade deal with China was finalized, pending approval from him and President Xi Jinping. I described the deal as including China supplying the U.S. with magnets and rare earth minerals upfront, with the U.S. imposing 55% tariffs on Chinese goods while China would apply 10% tariffs on American products. I emphasized that the deal allowed Chinese students to continue using U.S. colleges and universities, which I noted particularly frustrated liberals who’ve pushed against this. I gloated over the outcome, mocking critics who claimed tariffs wouldn’t work, and called it a huge win for America, saying even “rotten-ass Democrats” would benefit. I framed Trump as having earned my trust to execute his strategy, highlighting the deal as proof of his deal making prowess, and declared, “We are the champions of the world,” including China in that victory. I also read comments from listeners via the Guns & Gear text line and displayed online chats to gauge reactions, reinforcing my excitement with phrases like “so much winning.”
