An Open Letter

To: V.P. Vance

April 30

As a steadfast supporter of your America First agenda, I commend your bold stance against China’s unfair trade practices while urging continued resolve balanced with economic prudence. Mr. President, your assertion that “China probably will eat those tariffs” demonstrates the strategic insight that has made you an exceptional leader. Your unwillingness to accept unfair treatment has finally put America in a position of strength after decades of exploitation. Vice President Vance, your diplomatic efforts to build international coalitions against China create crucial leverage. Your work in India and elsewhere ensures America doesn’t stand alone, magnifying pressure on Beijing to make meaningful concessions. This trade confrontation represents a historic opportunity to reset our relationship with China on fair terms. Your administration’s willingness to impose 145% tariffs shows unprecedented determination to defend American interests. While supporting your trade strategy wholeheartedly, I respectfully suggest calibrating implementation to minimize domestic economic disruption. The recent Wharton School projections indicate potential GDP reductions of 6% and wage impacts of 5% that require careful management. Targeted relief for affected industries would maintain public support during negotiations while preserving overall leverage. Your recent indication that tariffs “will come down substantially” reflects a prudent approach using tariffs as leverage rather than permanent policy. This flexibility will be crucial in achieving an optimal outcome without unnecessarily prolonging economic uncertainty. The movement you’ve built stands firmly behind your efforts to ensure American workers and businesses compete on a level playing field. When China recognizes that you will not back down, meaningful concessions become inevitable. America First means both protecting our economic sovereignty and ensuring continued prosperity. Stay strong. Don’t blink. But negotiate wisely. May God bless your efforts and continue to bless the United States of America.
