The transformative nature of Donald Trump’s second presidency is particularly evident in his efforts to reshape U.S. trade policy. He’s employed tariffs to rebalance commercial relationships that have long benefited other nations to our great detriment.

Yesterday, Apple CEO Tim Cook used a White House appearance to commit to invest $600 billion to manufacture its products in this country. His words evinced a profound, and deeply inspiring, tariff-induced sea-change in corporate attitudes:

“We're going to keep making investments right here in America. And we're going to keep hiring in America. And we're going to keep building technologies at the heart of our products right here in America because we're a proud American company and we believe deeply in the promise of this great nation….Thank you President Trump for…putting American innovation and American jobs front and center.”

Amen.
