BREAKING: I’m running to succeed Ron DeSantis as Florida’s next Republican Governor to make life more affordable for you and your family. I’ll stop the H-1B scam, tell Blackstone they can't buy our homes, cancel AI Data Centers, and abolish property taxes.

Reporter: Do you ever feel sorry for Jerome Powell when Trump criticizes him? Me: "No, I don’t feel sorry for Jerome Powell. He’s worth over $200 million. Who I feel sorry for are the Americans who can’t get a mortgage because Powell refuses to lower interest rates from 20-year highs. I feel sorry that they can’t start a family or can’t grow their family because they can’t buy a home. I feel sad for the single mom in East Baltimore or Cincinnati who can’t get a credit card because Jerome Powell is trying to undermine the duly elected President of the United States."

All 50 states would block @elonmusk from teaching a high-school physics class because he doesn’t have an arbitrary government-issued "teaching certificate." We’ve got professionals and retirees in all 50 states—engineers who built bridges, pilots who’ve flown across the world, and doctors and nurses who’ve saved lives—who would love to volunteer to teach. Yet they can’t because teachers unions have lobbied to create barriers. State governors should tear down these barriers and invite professionals and retirees into our schools to teach and inspire young Americans.

Cut property taxes to ZERO on any home less than $500,000. Pay for it by doubling property taxes on all homes owned by Blackstone and its private equity peers. And if Blackstone threatens to exit the housing market and starts selling their homes to young families? Gasp, I guess we’d have to live with that 😁

25% of Haitian immigrants are on SNAP. 45% of Afghan immigrants are on SNAP. 52% of Senegalese immigrants are on SNAP. DC is redistributing wealth by stealing from productive Americans to subsidize foreigners and their way of life. That is unacceptable and America Last.

"I’m a Republican not because of George Bush, but because of Donald Trump. I’m a Republican not because of Dick Cheney, but because of J.D. Vance. And I’m a Republican because of Charlie Kirk. That is the Republican Party we need to embrace. That is the Turning Point vision we need to espouse."

So-called American companies say they have no choice but to use the H-1B program because they “can’t find Americans for these jobs.” Here’s the ugly truth: they’re not even looking for Americans. They refuse to interview them. They hide job postings in obscure newspapers to “check the box,” and when no one “applies,” they import another foreign worker—denying yet another qualified American a job, a wage, and the dignity and purpose that come with both. It’s disgraceful. It’s time to finally and fully dismantle the H-1B scam.

CNN: If Trump can do this to Lisa Cook, he could do this to anyone! You could be next! Narrator: Yes—if you commit mortgage fraud, you can and should be next.

I’m disappointed. I respected Elon. I advised DOGE. My firm’s largest position is in Tesla. But what Elon’s doing by starting the "America Party" risks handing the keys of power to AOC, Hakeem Jeffries, and Jasmine Crashout Crockett. That’s a disaster for our country—they’ll impeach Trump, defund ICE, and gut the Trump tax cuts. It’s also a disaster for Elon’s own companies. Tesla and SpaceX won’t be spared from the full wrath of government weaponization if this new “party” helps put the Democrats back in charge. Elon is free to do what he wants. But Americans are also free to say: back off—we stand with Trump. I’m not selling my Tesla stock or my Tesla car. I love Full Self Driving (FSD). But there’s another FSD I care about even more: Full Support for Donald. I’m an FSD Republican. It's time to fight and never apologize for it.

Lisa Cook is threatening to sue President Trump for firing her. Wouldn’t it be easier for her to just prove she didn’t lie on her 2 mortgage applications?

Trump is right: Jerome Powell is a stubborn moron. The last time interest rates were this high, inflation was 6.5%. Inflation today is 1.8%. What on earth is Jerome Powell doing? The worse part? No one is “allowed” to fire Jerome Powell. He’s beyond reproach. The Board of Governors can’t fire him. Congress can’t fire him. The President apparently can’t fire him. That’s a real problem. If you can’t be fired from any job—whether you’re the Fed Chair or a fry cook—then you have no accountability. You have no skin in the game. You can keep messing up, and no one can ever hold you accountable. Great conversation with @ChanelRion

So the Fed refuses to lower rates for us but they’ll commit mortgage fraud to get lower rates for themselves. Got it

I *will not* allow Blackstone to come into Florida, buy up entire neighborhoods, and force out families who just want to buy a home. Blackstone has done nothing for our country or our state. It’s time we stand up to them.

I was just escorted out of the Fed’s Jackson Hole conference for asking Governor Lisa Cook (a taxpayer-funded public official) about her alleged mortgage fraud. In America, you should never be punished for asking a government official a basic question.

In other words, 450 “economists” support mortgage fraud. Got it

JD is right. Powell is *still* keeping rates near 20-year highs (despite having cut them right before the 2024 election when inflation was *higher*) Powell is holding back the Golden Age.

Trump is right: Powell is Too Late. * Inflation is at a 4-year low * Oil is down 15% * Powell is *still* keeping rates near 20-year highs (despite having cut them right before the 2024 election when inflation was *higher*) Powell is holding back the Golden Age. His departure can’t come soon enough.

Lisa Cook has voted against lowering interest rates at all 5 Fed meetings since President Trump took office. She won't lower interest rates for us, but will go out and commit mortgage fraud to get lower interest rates for herself. That’s wrong, it’s illegal, and I’m glad Director @Pulte investigated it and criminally referred her. No one is above the law.

Where in the Constitution does it say Jerome Powell's group of unelected, unaccountable bankers can meet in secret, and decide the future of every single one of us? That’s why my investment firm—Azoria—sued Jerome Powell in federal court last week. We want those transcripts—and we want them now. If Jerome Powell is in fact making decisions based on the economic facts and realities, then release that transcript and conduct every single meeting from this moment forward in public. Americans deserve transparency from the Federal Reserve.

“Why is CNN suddenly worried about the national debt when it’s time to take care of American citizens? CNN said NOTHING when Joe Biden handed $350 billion to Ukraine and $7,000 a month to illegals.”

"Jerome Powell is the Anthony Fauci of economics: wrong, smug, and completely unaccountable."

The real scandal is not the Federal Reserve blowing $3.1 billion on an extravagant headquarters. It's that the Fed is keeping interest rates at a 20-year high—and no one at the Fed can be bothered to explain why. They don’t take questions. They don’t answer to the public. They don’t even hold their meetings in public like every other federal agency. That's why @InvestAzoria is suing Jerome Powell in federal court. The Federal Reserve cannot continue meeting in secret and making life-altering decisions that affect every single American.

If you’re a foreigner in America, you have *no right* to our jobs or our homes. You are a guest. You’re free to go to Disney World, but we don’t have benefits or energy for anyone but our own. It's not racist, and we're not apologizing for it. Americans First.

For every $1 that Federal Reserve employees donate, 97 cents goes to Democrats. For every 1 Republican economist at the Fed, there are 10 Democrat economists. Fed Chair Jerome Powell has refused to lower interest rates since Trump took office. Gee, I wonder why...

LMFAO. Here we go.

6 questions for the idiots at the Wall Street Journal: 1. How on earth did you just suddenly find a letter from 2003? 2. Who gave it to you? When? What were the terms? 3. Why didn’t you publish the “letter” in full? 4. President Trump’s always been known for writing personal letters by hand. Can you cite a single example of him sending a typewritten note? 5. He is also known for his straightforward and direct writing style (just like his speaking style). Can you cite one (1) other example of him writing in whimsical riddles like this “letter” you suddenly found? 6. Don’t you find it odd that this “letter” magically appears now—not before 2016, 2020, or 2024—but right when the Democrats are trying to weaponize “Epstein” against Trump? Cancelling my WSJ subscription. Absolutely disgraceful article.

A hotel in Miami, FL fired Americans and outsourced its entire front desk to India—where someone in Mumbai now “checks in” guests over Zoom. Any theft of American jobs will not be tolerated if I’m Governor.

I’ve watched every Fed press conference since they began in 2011. I spent a decade trading interest rate derivatives. Following the Fed was literally my full-time job. Yesterday was the most confusing, bizarre, and blatantly political Fed press conference I’ve ever seen. Jerome Powell keeps moving the goalposts from meeting to meeting to justify keeping rates at 20-year highs—the lower-than-expected inflation data be damned! Why? It looks like an effort to sabotage President Trump and his economic agenda. And real people are paying the price. Americans can't get a home because they can't afford a mortgage because Powell won't get off his anti-Trump high horse and lower rates like every single central bank in the West has this year. He's hurting workers, families, retirees, and businesses small and large. What Jerome Powell is doing is economically illiterate and deeply un-American.

The federal government budget is 54% higher today than it was right before COVID in 2019. Ask yourself—is your life 54% better? Are government services 54% better than before COVID? The answer is obviously no. We’ve got too many bureaucrats, too much spending, too much pointless anti-growth regulation. DOGE the entire system. Let’s do round 2 of DOGE immediately.

At no point in her 24-page lawsuit does Lisa Cook deny she committed mortgage fraud. Clogging up the courts with her TDS martyrdom

“We don’t want teachers telling the white students to apologize to the black students. And we don’t want teachers telling the black students there’s something wrong with them. They are created in God’s image. Every single one of them is capable of greatness.”

The Federal Reserve has never solved a single problem facing the American economy. All they do is *cause problems.* They caused the housing bubble. They missed the boat on Wells Fargo. They fell asleep at the wheel on Silicon Valley Bank. Now one of their own is implicated in a mortgage fraud scheme (Lisa Crook). The Fed gets too much credit on the way up and far too little accountability on the way down. I wish we could stop talking about the Fed because they are utterly worthless.

The "50-year mortgage" is a disgusting insult. We are Americans. We are not slaves. We are not slaves to the plantation owner. We are not slaves to China. And we are not slaves to Wall Street. This 50-year mortgage idea is a spit in the face. It is an insult. We did not vote for this. We did not vote to become debt slaves to private equity firms, the big banks, and Wall Street. Right now, the median home in America costs $500,000. At the prevailing mortgage rate of 6%, you would have $580,000 of interest payments over 30 years. If we went with this ridiculous, inane idea of a 50-year mortgage, that would be $1.1 million of mortgage payments for a $500,000 home. You would end up paying $1.5 million for a $500,000 house. My grandfather was a World War II veteran. He always told me that we do not want to pass down this national debt to the next generation, to our kids and grandkids, and make them slaves to China. I am not worried about China anymore. I am worried about becoming slaves to Wall Street. And the do-nothing Republicans and know-nothing Democrats seem to be working together once again to push this usury on Americans. It is an absolute insult. If we want to get serious about housing affordability, the crisis staring down my generation, consider this: when my dad was growing up in the 1960s, half of 30-year-olds were married and owned their homes. Today, only 15% of 30-year-olds are married and own a home. If you cannot own your home, you cannot get married. If you cannot get married, you cannot have kids. If you cannot have kids, then what is the point? This is an insult. This is economic genocide against the Gen Z generation, trying to foist this kind of slavery and usury on us. We reject it 100%. If we want to get serious about housing affordability, why not ban Blackstone, one of the largest donors to both parties, from buying up entire neighborhoods and forcing us to rent from them? If we are serious about housing, why not remove the 55 million people here on immigration visas who occupy homes that could go to Americans who have worked, fought, and bled for this country? I am sick and tired of the do-nothing Republicans and the know-nothing Democrats being in bed with Wall Street, forcing us to become debt slaves, forcing us to accept this unrestrained usury. We did not vote for the 50-year mortgage. If this continues, the Republicans will lose the midterms, and they will deserve to.

Lisa Cook took out 2 mortgages on 2 homes in 2 states in the same 2 week period—claiming both were her “primary residence.” That was a big fat lie. It's called mortgage fraud. Even the Federal Reserve warned in a 2023 research report that this type of mortgage fraud threatens the U.S. housing market.

Disgraced ex-Fed Governor Lisa Cook actually told a federal judge that because her mortgage fraud happened *before* Biden appointed her to the Fed it was not relevant. First, when it happened doesn't matter. Second, her fraud is actually an ongoing crime. She took out 15- and 30-year mortgages. Every month she makes a mortgage payment based on a lie. If she had told the truth on her mortgage application, her monthly payment would have been much higher. So every month, every time an ACH goes out to the mortgage servicer, she is perpetuating her fraud. Deceitful miscreant

Here’s my challenge to Jerome Powell: open next week’s Federal Reserve meeting to the public. If you’re not being political—if you’re truly deciding based on facts and economic fundamentals—then let the American public see the deliberations. If you won’t, you’re hiding something.

Blackstone cannot continue to come into our communities and force out families who want to buy a home. Blackstone has done nothing for our country. Everyday Americans built this country. They are the ones who deserve our single-family homes, not private equity "businesses."

President Trump doesn’t need to fire Powell—he can just neuter him by naming his replacement immediately. Markets move on expectations. If the bond market believes the next Fed Chair will cut rates by a lot, they’ll start to price it in immediately, which will send mortgage and Treasury rates down, delivering relief far sooner than anyone expects.

Elon, this isn’t a joke. A third party that hands power to the Democrats—who’ll impeach Trump, defund ICE, and throw open the border—will devastate this country. Unlike you, real Americans don’t want to go to Mars. We want to save America.

You know what’s actually “chilling to many Americans”? That a Federal Reserve Governor committed mortgage fraud to get 2 homes in 2 weeks—while countless Americans can’t get approved for even 1. Go away Larry

Lisa Cook's job was to guard *against* mortgage fraud, not to go out and commit it herself. The Federal Reserve Act of 1913, Section 10, gives President Trump the legal right to remove a Fed Governor "for cause." When someone lies on 2 mortgage applications in the span of 2 weeks to get 2 mortgages on 2 separate properties, that is deceitful conduct that clearly justifies immediate removal. Good chatting with @CarlHigbie

70% of college grads *are not* working a full-time job in their field of study. Amazon just laid off 30,000 Americans and then hired 10,000 more H-1Bs from India. We have to get honest about our labor market policy, and what I want to see from President Trump is exactly what Governor @RonDeSantis did in my state of Florida: pull the plug on the H-1B program.

A 16-year-old U.S. citizen from my home state of Florida has spent eight months in an Israeli prison for allegedly throwing a rock at an armored vehicle in which no one was hurt. He’s lost 26 pounds and contracted scabies. He’s just a kid. He deserves to be back home.

I’m a Donald Trump Republican I’m a Charlie Kirk Republican I’m a JD Vance Republican America First

CNN: “DOGE shouldn’t have defunded a taxpayer-funded Sesame Street show in Iraq that was designed to stop terrorism.” Me: “There was a terrorist attack last month that killed 40 people…Big Bird and Elmo clearly aren’t helping…if you want to stop terrorism, then kill the terrorists.”

Trump is right about Powell. Inflation just hit a 4-year low—and it’s heading even lower. So why is Jerome Powell (Too Late!) keeping interest rates near 20-year highs? He claims he can’t cut now, but he had no issue cutting rates by 50 points right before the election when inflation was higher than it is today. Powell is not fighting inflation. He’s fighting Trump.

President Trump not only has the legal authority to remove Lisa Cook for cause—he has the ethical duty. A Fed Governor credibly accused of financial fraud cannot be trusted to protect our financial system.

Foreigners have *no right* to our birthright.

For the first time in 30 years, two Federal Reserve governors broke ranks with the Fed Chair and demanded rate cuts. And Jerome Powell’s response? Hide their reasons, stonewall the public, and break the law. That’s why we’re suing him in federal court—to drag Powell out of the shadows and hold him accountable.

First, Amazon hires 10,000 H-1Bs (mainly from India) Then, Amazon fires 30,000 Americans Florida signed a massive Amazon Web Services contract last year. If I were Governor, they'd have 48 hours to re-hire every Floridian—or I cancel their contract & ban them from all state biz

This is what I get for asking a Federal Reserve Governor a question she didn’t like. A stain of disgrace for them. A badge of honor for me.

I said what I said, and I’m not apologizing. Put AMERICANS first.

Rand Paul would’ve ordered Seal Team 6 to stand down because Bin Laden deserved “due process.”

I have to disagree with @SenRickScott from my home state of Florida, who says, “If you don’t like Mamdani, come move to Florida." Absolutely not—Florida is full. Mamdani is your problem—not ours. We’ve had 800,000 people move to Florida over the past five years. Families and retirees who built our state are being priced out and pushed out. New York, I love you, but Florida is not a refugee camp.

We are 19 days away from the September Fed meeting, and the Supreme Court may need to step in to block Lisa Cook from trying to show up to vote at that meeting. This is chaos you'd expect from a third-world African republic with a pegged currency. Lisa Cook's presence at the Fed as a credibly accused mortgage fraudster affects Fed credibility *far more* than President Trump removing her for a legitimate reason.

You can’t seriously call it the “America Party” and then hand *American jobs* to H-1Bs from Punjab. No thanks, Elon. We're sticking with Trump.

Disgraced Ex-Fed Governor Lisa Cook filed a brief today in U.S. District Court for D.C. arguing, among other things she threw at the wall, that “private conduct before taking office does not amount to cause.” That claim fails on 2 counts. First, the alleged conduct (mortgage fraud!) goes to the core of her responsibilities: you cannot credibly serve as the nation’s top bank regulator tasked with stopping mortgage fraud when you yourself are credibly accused of mortgage fraud. Second, this is not merely pre-appointment conduct. By obtaining two mortgages under false “primary residence” claims, Cook secured artificially low monthly payments that continue for 15 and 30 years. Each month those payments are made at a fraudulent rate, the fraud persists. This cannot stand

The Federal Reserve is meeting right now to decide whether to lower rates. We will not know what was said in that meeting until July 2030 because the Fed unlawfully withholds their meeting transcripts for 5 full years. Our Founding Fathers would be appalled to learn that an unelected, unaccountable group of bankers is meeting in secret to decide the interest rate of every mortgage and credit card in America all while denying the American public the right to know what they're up to. That's why @InvestAzoria is suing Jerome Powell in federal court. Americans deserve transparency and accountability from him and the Fed.

This is utterly disgraceful.

The actual constitutional crisis is that the unelected Lisa Cook refuses to leave her job after the duly elected President of the United States removed her nearly 24 hours ago. Coup at the Fed.

First, she commits mortgage fraud Next, she gets caught and fired Then, she blames Trump Got it

It’s amazing how President Trump plays the Democrats. Heads Trump wins, tails the Democrats lose. If we get a government shutdown, Trump is going to order up an emergency dose of DOGE for the economy, lay off tens of thousands of bureaucrats trying to control our lives, and we'll end up with a far more efficient government.

First, 50 years of usury. Now, 600,000 Chinese students flooding our colleges. This is a disgusting betrayal.

I'm disappointed in the Trump administration putting H-1B foreign labor ahead of American workers.

Jerome Powell is the Anthony Fauci of economics—wrong, smug, and completely unaccountable. He’s keeping rates near 20-year highs, crushing hard-working Americans. Across my home state of Florida, I meet families who’ve done everything right—saved, worked hard, played by the rules—yet can’t get a mortgage because Powell refuses to lower the rates. We cannot allow this continue.

I've had enough of former Governor Lisa Cook's excuses and deflection. It's not President Trump's fault she's a deceitful miscreant. She was credibly accused of committing mortgage fraud, she didn't deny it, and then he fired her. End of story. I shared my thoughts with @DavidAsmanFox

I want to profusely apologize to Lisa Cook. I was wrong, and am deeply embarrassed. I was just made aware that the “Delta Signa Theta” sorority is “standing” with Cook and “opposes any measure to silence Black women.” Again, I am very sorry to Lisa and her sorority sisters. You won’t be hearing from me anymore on this issue of accountability for a Federal Reserve Governor who definitely didn’t commit mortgage fraud that threatens our economy and is an upstanding citizen in all respects.

Elon has deleted his slanderous tweets about the President of the United States. Good first step. Next up: full-throated apology to Trump and his family.

.@ElonMusk, listen to Grok!

I don’t care if Elon loses *his* money. But Tesla is not his—it belongs to the shareholders. We deserve a full-time CEO, not someone fixated on sabotaging President Trump.

My challenge to Fed Chair Jerome Powell: If you’re not sabotaging President Trump by keeping interest rates near 20-year highs while inflation is 2%, then don’t have a closed-door meeting to decide interest rates later this month like you always do. Livestream the full July 30th Fed meeting where you'll decide whether or not to finally lower rates and deliver relief for American families. If you’re not political, let the American people see what’s really driving your decisions.

I just filed an emergency motion in Cook vs. Trump to submit a third-party ‘amicus brief’ defending President Trump’s clear authority to fire former Fed Governor Lisa Cook—and to make clear that the economy and markets would face serious peril if the President of the United States were stripped of the power to remove Federal Reserve Governors for credible accusations of misconduct.

Elon, Keep tweeting about your “new political party” and Japanese fertility rates all you want. You owe President Trump a full-throated apology, and every hour you delay, it’ll make an eventual apology less sincere. You can substantively disagree with the President on policy, but you should not have baselessly and personally attacked him.

It takes the DOJ ~776 days on average to convict mortgage fraud cases. Are we really supposed to let Lisa Cook sit on the Federal Reserve for two years setting interest rates for the whole country after she was credibly accused of mortgage fraud? It’s not President Trump’s fault that Lisa Cook is a deceitful miscreant.

No wonder Lisa Cook refuses to vote for interest rate cuts—she’s already got three fraudulent mortgages locked-in at artificially low rates for 30 years. Lisa Cook: "Eat cake, you law-abiding peasants"

"the allegation [mortgage fraud] is wholly unrelated to her official duties." What on earth is Cook talking about? She works at the Federal Reserve—her job is to *stop* mortgage fraud, not commit it herself. Deeply unserious lawsuit

.@RandPaul in 1776… “Crossing the Delaware? Sounds pricey.”

LISA COOK PULLED THE RACE CARD IN HER LAWSUIT. The unmitigated gaul, the unencumbered audacity, and the unfettered intrepidity of this deceitful miscreant. Her lawsuit is just "It's Trump's fault" and "I'm black" Zero accountability for the fraud she committed

What Lisa Cook did is personal for me: when I was a kid, my parents worked hard, saved up, and still struggled to get approved for a mortgage. Meanwhile, Lisa Cook got 2 mortgages on 2 homes in 2 weeks by lying and claiming they were both her permanent residence. Disgraceful.

Trump doesn’t need to fire Powell; he can just sideline him entirely by announcing his successor tomorrow. Just like world leaders turned away from Biden, markets would turn away from Powell, and mortgage and government bond rates would start to come down immediately. Remember what happened after Trump’s victory in 2020—Joe Biden was still technically president, but no foreign leader, diplomat, or CEO cared. They all rushed to Mar-a-Lago to meet with Trump because everyone knew who the next leader was. Apply that same logic to the Fed. If Trump announces that the next Fed Chair is Scott Bessent, the bond market, which drives real-world rates far more than the Fed’s overnight rate, would begin ignoring Powell’s stubbornness and shift focus to Bessent’s commitment to bring rates back in line with economic reality. Bessent would effectively become the shadow Fed chair. He could speak across the country and signal clearly: when I take office in May 2026 (when Powell's term is up), rates are coming down by a lot. As someone who spent a decade trading interest rate derivatives, I can tell you—the bond market would have no choice but to start pricing that in. Interest rates on mortgages, credit cards, and government debt would fall almost immediately because Bessent would be seen as credible, confirmable, and committed to ending the artificially high interest rates that Powell is imposing on our economy.

"The great irony of Fed Governor Lisa Cook's alleged mortgage fraud is that the Fed refuses to lower rates for us but they’ll commit mortgage fraud to get lower rates for themselves." Talking the Fed from Jackson Hole with @cvpayne

For too long, the Republican talking point has been: "we don’t like illegal immigration—but we want legal immigration." Here's the truth: mass migration, legal or illegal, hurts us. It steals jobs, housing, and benefits from Americans. We need a complete immigration moratorium.

When my dad lost his job, I grew up for a short period on food stamps. I'm all for a safety net for *American citizens only* so they can get back on their feet, but the safety net *cannot* become a safety couch or safety jacuzzi. We need a "safety trampoline" to help Americans bounce back fast and get back to work.

Yesterday, Randy Fine called me and berated me for 42 minutes about the Florida governor’s race—telling me that if I entered, there would be “real problems” for me in the future. He said "it wouldn’t be nice to Byron Donalds" if I ran against him, as if we don’t have elections in our country. I told him: "Randy, if Byron is such a good candidate, he’ll trounce me, but the truth is, Republicans are the ones who got trounced this week—because of people like you and Byron Donalds." All these two clowns do is write strongly worded letters, go on CNN and Fox News to whine, and then return to their districts pretending they accomplished something. The only person actually working in Washington, D.C. right now is Donald J. Trump. If Elon Musk emailed Byron and Randy to ask, “What did you get done this week?” their answer would be: went on TV, whined on a podcast, and posted tweets. This is the problem with the do-nothing congressional Republicans. You’re not focused on delivering America First. We didn’t vote for foreign wars. We didn’t vote for bombing other countries. We voted for America First—period. End of story. @RepFine @ByronDonalds

Everyone was saying that if President Trump fired Lisa Cook, the stock market would crash and bond yields would go up. The exact opposite has happened. The "experts" were wrong again. The truth is that if Lisa Cook had not been held accountable, that would've hurt markets because they would've questioned the rule of law in America, and that's something that markets do not tolerate.

Time to fight.

What you are about to watch is the **final round** of the most prestigious national high school debate tournament. Team A proceeds to tell Team B that they **will not** be debating the assigned topic (benefits/costs of the IMF) because trans people are being genocided by MAGA Republicans and that is way more important than debating the IMF. Team A starts off by playing an audio clip from a 1980s AIDs protest and says that “28 states want to kill” trans people like her. They tell the judges that this round "does nothing to the IMF itself" and as such they have decided that "this round is going to be a debate about debate" and the judges' "choice instead is whether to affirm our performance." They proudly declare that they will "occupy the debate space until trans debaters can participate safely." Team B then immediately concedes the round because they don’t want to dispute that trans genocide is real and be labelled transphobic. The rest of the round is a struggle session where Team A states that misgendering is “violent” and that if you do it, you should automatically lose. This is the *final round* of the *most prestigious high school debate tournament* of the school year, and they made a mockery of it with their selfish, unintelligible performative rant. The worse part? The judges praised Team A for their bravery and courage and crowned them the national champions. This is sick. It’s anti-merit, anti-debate, and anti-American. No wonder droves of kids are quitting high school debate. The National Speech and Debate Association cannot be reformed. It’s time for viable high school debate alternatives to stand up and welcome young Americans who actually want to debate. I believe my non-profit @IncubateDebate will be one of those alternatives.

Yesterday, Jerome Powell refused to guarantee a rate cut in December—meaning no relief on mortgages or credit cards for Americans. But he had no problem guaranteeing a rate cut in August 2024 to rig the election for Kamala Harris. President Trump has largely defeated inflation, bringing CPI to 1.9% since taking office—below the Fed’s 2% target. So why are interest rates still near 20-year highs? There’s only one reason: Powell doesn’t want to help President Trump. He doesn’t want to help the Golden Age. Powell's stubborn recalcitrance is hurting American families.

President Trump and @ElonMusk should announce a ‘DOGE Dividend’—a tax refund check sent to every taxpayer, funded exclusively with a portion of the total savings delivered by DOGE. 🧵

For every 1 percentage point that interest rates are above natural, it’s costing taxpayers $315 billion a year. That is $3 trillion over the next decade. That is $31,000 for every single taxpaying household over the next decade—because Jerome Powell is not doing the right thing, not looking at the data, and not lowering rates accordingly.

Every single H-1B needs to be deported

CEO: “Americans aren’t skilled. We need to import foreigners.” 1. You didn’t interview a single American or even post the job publicly. 2. You don’t want to hire skilled Americans because they expect a market wage, & you like cheap slave labor you can exploit. Americans First

To be clear, if Jerome Powell allows Lisa Cook in the building tomorrow after the duly elected President of the United States exercised his legal authority and fired her, he’s complicit. He must stay neutral, lock her out, and let her lose in court.

On Ellis Island, they didn't hand immigrants a SNAP EBT card or an ObamaPhone. We cannot accept *anymore* illegal or "legal" immigrants into our country, and especially not in my state of Florida. We are full. Complete immigration moratorium NOW.

We don’t want “investigations” of the H-1B scam. We want to *end* the H-1B scam, and deport every single H-1B in America. American jobs are for Americans.

Let’s be clear: Lisa Cook is entitled to due process and the presumption of innocence in any criminal trial. But she *does not* have a constitutional right to remain a Governor of the Federal Reserve, to draw a taxpayer-funded salary, or to cast binding votes on the trajectory of interest rates while credibly accused of conduct that strikes at the core of her assigned responsibilities.

No one is "targeting" Indians. We’re standing up for Americans against the political & corporate forces that have stolen jobs and treated us like second-class citizens in our own country. India can be “India First.” But, we are America First, and we don't apologize for it.

1. Scott Bessent is a patriot. 2. Remember when you committed to cut $2 trillion and you endorsed my plan to send out DOGE Dividend checks? You promised the world with DOGE and could not deliver. 3. You didn’t endorse Trump until after he was nearly killed in Butler. Then you tried to *use him* to get more Green New Scam tax credits. When he cut them, you threw a temper tantrum and played the victim. A tale as old as time. Me thinks the man doth protest too much.

Dismantle H-1B. Enact complete immigration moratorium. Stop offshoring. Put *Americans* first

I believed in Elon Musk’s vision to shrink government and make it work better for Americans. I’m proud of the DOGE Dividend proposal I developed and will keep working with the administration to return savings to taxpayers. The truth is that Elon set expectations that he relayed to the President, me, and the country that he did not come close to fulfilling. That’s disappointing, but okay. What’s not okay is his baseless personal attacks against President Trump. President Trump is a once-in-a-century leader. He won the popular vote, the Electoral College, and all seven swing states by championing the priorities in his Big Beautiful Bill which Elon now says he wants to “kill.” President Trump has shown grace and patience at a time when Elon’s behavior is disappointing and frankly downright disturbing. It’s time for Elon to apologize to the President and his family, cool off, and get back to work on inventing the future at Tesla and SpaceX.

BREAKING: Our motion was just *granted* in Cook v. Trump. The court just accepted our emergency amicus brief where we explain why President Trump has both the legal right and ethical duty to remove Lisa Cook from the Federal Reserve. Excerpt from our amicus brief: "To now permit a Fed Governor credibly accused of mortgage fraud to remain in office would confirm the view that the Fed selectively enforces its standards—some banks, some of the time, and never on its own officials entrusted with the awesome responsibility of overseeing supervision and setting rates that influence every mortgage, credit card, and business loan in American."
