Week 43 The Reopening of America

The 43-day government shutdown came to an end in Week 43 of the Trump 2.0 Presidency. After Democrat Senators voted no 14 times to (H.R. 5371) the Clean CR Bill, the Senate finally passed it and it moved onto Congress who also passed it. There was an attempt to distract from democrats’ apparent attempt to hold the country hostage for 43 days, putting undue stress on already stressed Americans, FAA, SNAP, WIC, Military and a vast number of programs including healthcare… by releasing a batch of emails surrounding Jeffrey Epstein and pushing a narrative on social media to disparage President Trump’s character. It didn’t work, and a vote will take place next week to release the full Epstein files.

Also this week, there were meetings with the new President of Syria, Ahmed Hussein al-Sharaa, to discuss Peace in the Middle East, of which he is highly supportive. Following the meeting, the Trump Administration suspended mandatory Caesar Act sanctions to support their ability to rebuild their economy, per Secretary of State, Marco Rubio. New Trade Agreements were announced with El Salvador, Argentina, Ecuador, and Guatemala were announced this week. They liberate America from unfair trade practices and will strengthen supply chains in the Western Hemisphere. There was also a trade deal with Switzerland and Liechtenstein worked out this week. The deal will provide U.S. exporters unprecedented access to Swiss and Liechtenstein markets and drive billions of dollars in investment on U.S. soil, creating thousands of jobs across America. President Trump finalized an agreement to sell up to 48 F-35 Lightning II stealth fighter jets (F-35A variant), valued at $58–60 billion (including aircraft, training, munitions, and support). This is part of a broader $142 billion U.S.-Saudi defense package announced in May 2025, described as the “largest defense cooperation agreement in history.” The F-35 sale, initially excluded, has cleared a key Pentagon policy review and is expected to be finalized during Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s White House visit on November 18, 2025.

The BBC issued a formal apology to President Trump for editing his January 6th speeches in a way that made it look like he was inciting an insurrection. Two top executives resigned. President Trump says that he is thinking about suing them just as he did with CBS for what they did to his interview on 60 Minutes.

Workers getting back on track received a welcome boost, a $10,000 bonus for all Air Traffic Controllers who stayed on the job through the government shutdown. What the shutdown proved is that the Democratic Senators that were paid the most by ACA insurance companies fought the hardest to keep the government shutdown in an effort to keep those trillions of dollars flowing to the insurance companies. But President Trump announced a better way for healthcare by putting those trillions of dollars into the hands of the American people. “We want a health care system where we pay the money to the PEOPLE.. not the insurance companies” he said. Three of his Executive Orders have helped pave the way for better pricing making healthcare more affordable. President Trump’s first three 2025 executive orders on healthcare—focusing on price transparency, most-favored-nation drug pricing, and the Make America Healthy Again Commission—promise tangible improvements by empowering patients and tackling root causes of high costs. POTUS: “I am calling today for insurance companies NOT to be paid. But for this massive amount of money be paid DIRECTLY to the people so they can buy their own healthcare!”

Tariffs are rolling in and Treasury Secretary Bessent announced this week that “$2,000 tariff stimulus checks” likely to be sent out soon for Americans earning under $100,000/year. According to President Trump, “All money left over from the $2000 payments made to low and middle income USA Citizens, from the massive Tariff Income pouring into our Country from foreign countries, which will be substantial, will be used to substantially pay down national debt.” He is also exploring a plan for 15-year car loans and 50-year mortgages to make them more affordable, that, coupled with rapidly rising wages and substantial tax refunds for working families next year, will greatly improve the financial health of America’s families. The last minting of the penny took place this week. It actually cost $.37 to mint. The U.S. Mint lost $85T last year. President Trump cut tariffs on beef, coffee and other foods to bring down costs.

Fraud investigations this week spotlighted the fraud within the SNAP system highlighting 5,000 recipients were dead people and 500,000 people had names appearing twice, receiving double the amount they are supposed to receive. There are plans to require all ~42 million participants to reapply and recertify eligibility to ensure they are “literally vulnerable and can’t survive without it.” Also this week, the Clinton Corruption Files have been handed over to the FBI and the DoJ concerning evidence of corruption within the Clinton Foundation. Also this week, several violent Antifa groups were designated as foreign terrorist organizations.

At the start of this week, President Trump and Vice President Vance honored our veterans at a Veterans Day Wreath Laying Ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery. The Marines celebrated their 250th Birthday with Vice President JD Vance. The President and Mrs. Trump both signed an Executive Order for the improvement of the U.S. Foster Care System. “Today’s foster care system must be improved in a number of important ways.” Fostering The Future initiative will expand access to mentorships, scholarships, technology and workforce training for youth in Foster Care.

America is reopening back up with a bang. Let’s see all that happened.

BREAKING: FBI Director Kash Patel announces the fentanyl production pipeline has been shut down in Mexico and across the world, saving tens of thousands of American lives.
Kash Patel announces that China has agreed to work with the U.S. to stop the precursors used to make fentanyl: “Effective immediately, essentially President Trump has shut off the pipeline that creates fentanyl, that kills tens of thousands of Americans.”
China has BANNED 113 fentanyl precursors + 7 related chemicals to STOP the fentanyl production pipeline. -1,900 KG of fentanyl seized—enough to kill 127 MILLION -31% increase in seizures vs. last yr -1st FBI Director trip to China in over 10 YEARS.
Democrats shut down government for 43 days.
President Trump’s signing to reopen the government could happen tonight: “The people’s government will soon be back open for business. We hope that signing will take place later tonight.”
“These emails prove absolutely nothing other than the fact that President Trump did nothing wrong.”
“When Joe Biden was sitting in [the Oval Office], the Democrats never brought this up. This wasn’t an issue that they cared about because they actually don’t care about the victims in these cases… It is not a coincidence that the Democrats leaked these emails to the Fake News this morning, ahead of Republicans reopening the government.”

Epstein Emails

At the end of the government shutdown, in a desperate attempt to distract everyone from how they had held the country hostage, Democrat leaders released what is now being known as the Epstein Emails.

When President Trump calls it the Epstein Hoax, this is what he means:

They were only a portion of the files. The rest still need to be released. That vote comes up next week.

Although certain Democratic leaders wish to paint a narrative that the Epstein Emails somehow implicated President Trump of something, what they uncovered was Epstein’s involvement with other people and that has been referred to AG Pam Bondi for a formal investigation.

Please see my article on the truth of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein

CNN Clarifying

Grok maintains there is zero evidence to support any of the wild claims people are making about Trump being guilty. There is zero evidence that Donald Trump was ever inappropriate with anyone connected with Epstein.

Please see my article on Trump and Epstein.

In Congress, the final vote to adopt the Clean CR Bill was immediately followed by a motion to release the full Epstein Files, instead of allowing certain lawmakers to release them piecemeal and try to use them to paint a narrative that fits their agenda. That vote is postponed until next week, and with HR 5371 passed and signed into law, the government is now re-opened.

11102025 Speaker Johnson Updates on End of Shutdown

It did not reflect well on the Members who pushed to keep the government shut down to keep more money going to insurance companies.

Schumer Shutdown: The Senators who kept voting No to the Clean CR Bill and kept the government shut down have ACA Insurance Companies as donors. The government was shut down for 43 days because the ACA insurance companies paid Senators through their campaigns to make sure they did not lose ACA money. Senator Schumer is at the top of that list.

The Shutdown was about Health Insurance Companies

Insurance companies have had literal life and death decision power over people’s lives. They denied or approved a claim or pre-auth according to whether it worked for their bottom line, while they made billions in profits. We’ve all either experienced this frustration or know someone who has been turned down for a treatment for various reasons, too often that treatment would have been life-saving. Insurance companies had too much power over the quality of people’s lives. President Trump sees that and sees a better way to empower people with better choices.

To lower prescription drug prices and overall healthcare costs, President Trump already negotiated most-favored-nation-pricing agreements with 5 Big Pharma companies.

That is a lot of wasted money making insurance companies rich.

Senator Cassidy Tells us About a Better Way.

President Trump wants to pay the money to the people instead- Trillions.

President Trump has been working to make Healthcare more transparent and affordable to empower The People. These Executive Orders are a good start. The first 3 are:

~EO: Making America Healthy Again by Empowering Patients with Clear, Accurate, and Actionable Healthcare Pricing Information (February 25, 2025) Enforces strict hospital and health plan price transparency rules from 2019, requiring standardized, comparable pricing data online; projected to save $80B+ for consumers/employers by enabling shopping for services.

~EO: Delivering Most-Favored-Nation Prescription Drug Pricing to American Patients (May 12, 2025) Directs HHS to align U.S. drug prices with lower international rates via negotiations; led to deals with Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk slashing GLP-1 drug costs (e.g., Ozempic/Wegovy to $150/month starters for Medicare).

~EO: Establishing the President’s Make America Healthy Again Commission (January 20, 2025) Creates a commission to address chronic disease root causes, review federal health policies, and recommend reforms for preventive care and nutrition to reduce obesity/diabetes burdens.

President Trump’s first three 2025 executive orders on healthcare—focusing on price transparency, most-favored-nation drug pricing, and the Make America Healthy Again Commission—promise tangible improvements by empowering patients and tackling root causes of high costs.

The February price transparency order mandates hospitals and insurers to disclose actual, standardized prices for services and drugs, enabling consumers to shop competitively and potentially saving up to $80 billion annually for individuals and employers, fostering a more affordable and innovative system.

The May drug pricing order aligns U.S. costs with lower international rates through direct negotiations, as seen in recent deals slashing prices for essential medications like GLP-1 drugs to $150 per month starters, directly easing burdens for millions managing chronic conditions.

Finally, the January commission order launches a federal review of policies to combat obesity and chronic diseases via preventive strategies and nutrition reforms, aiming to reduce long-term healthcare spending and enhance overall public health outcomes.

Economy/Tariffs/Trade

“Every child born retroactively to January 1, 2025 — but for the next three years — is going to get a $1,000 account that’s going to be invested in the U.S. stock market. That’s another $1,000 for working families.” – Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent on the Trump Accounts

A $2000 Dividend to the American People

“All money left over from the $2000 payments made to low and middle income USA Citizens, from the massive Tariff Income pouring into our Country from foreign countries, which will be substantial, will be used to SUBSTANTIALLY PAY DOWN NATIONAL DEBT.” – President Trump

Affordability

“We’re going to see substantial refunds for working families” next year as a result of POTUS’s historic tax cut.” – Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent

See this article by the White House on lower groceries and bigger paychecks..

Wages are rising at the fastest pace of the start of a presidential administration in 60 years. To fuel small businesses, lower their costs, and incentivize hiring, the Trump Administration has already cut 30 unnecessary regulations for every new one on the books. The cost of the typical new mortgage is down by nearly $3,000 dollars a year.

“NRF is forecasting holiday sales will grow between 3.7% and 4.2% above last year’s holiday season, the first time we’ll exceed $1 trillion in sales for the holiday season…”

IRS Money Back to the People

“One of the surprises… since we passed the tax cuts, we’ve actually had a big increase — almost $200 BILLION in tax revenue… because of all the extra tax revenue, there is more room to get checks back to people.”

President Trump signed the largest middle-class tax cuts in history, including No Tax on Tips, No Tax on Overtime, and No Tax on Social Security to guarantee that Americans keep more of their hard-earned money.

Goodbye to the Penny

New Trade Deals with El Salvador, Argentina, Ecuador, and Guatemala Announced

Key terms of the Joint Statement with El Salvador include:

El Salvador has committed to addressing a range of non-tariff barriers, including by streamlining regulatory requirements and approvals for U.S. exports, such as accepting vehicles and automotive parts built to U.S. motor vehicle safety and emissions standards and accepting FDA certificates and prior marketing authorizations for medical devices and pharmaceuticals.
El Salvador will also break down non-tariff barriers for U.S. agricultural products in its market, including ensuring that U.S. agricultural exporters will not be restricted due to the mere use of certain cheese and meat terms.

Key terms of the Joint Statement with Argentina include:

Argentina will provide preferential market access for U.S. goods exports, including certain medicines, chemicals, machinery, information technology products, medical devices, motor vehicles, and a wide range of agricultural products.
Argentina has also committed to addressing structural challenges cited in the Office of the United States Trade Representative’s 2025 Special 301 report, including patentability criteria, patent backlog, and geographical indications, as well as to working towards aligning its intellectual property regime with international standards.

Key terms of the Joint Statement with Guatemala include:

Guatemala has committed to facilitating digital trade, including by refraining from imposing digital services taxes or other measures that discriminate against U.S. digital services or U.S. products distributed digitally, ensuring the free transfer of data across trusted borders, and supporting a permanent multilateral moratorium on customs duties on electronic transmissions at the World Trade Organization (WTO).
Guatemala has committed to protect internationally recognized labor rights. In furtherance of this commitment, Guatemala will prohibit the importation of goods produced by forced or compulsory labor and strengthen its labor laws and their enforcement.

Key terms of the Joint Statement with Ecuador include:

Ecuador has committed to adopt and maintain high levels of environmental protection, take measures to improve forest sector governance and combat illegal logging, and fully implement the obligations of the WTO Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies.
Ecuador will remove or decrease a range of tariff barriers across key goods sectors, including tree nuts, fresh fruit, pulses, wheat, wine, and distilled spirits, and fully eliminate a variable tariff on many agricultural products it had imposed through the Andean Price Band System. These actions will create commercially meaningful market access opportunities for U.S. exports, supporting high-quality American jobs.

THE PROSPEROUS PATH FORWARD: Today’s momentous trade deals reinforce America’s aligned trade relationships with these allies while fostering more reciprocal conditions that prioritize American workers and industries, protecting U.S. national security, and strengthening supply chains in the Western Hemisphere.

In the coming weeks, the United States and El Salvador, Argentina, Ecuador, and Guatemala will work expeditiously to finalize the Agreements for signature.
The United States will also give Most Favored Nation (MFN)-tariff treatment for certain originating goods from these countries that cannot be grown, mined, or naturally produced in the United States in sufficient quantities.
For El Salvador and Guatemala, the United States will also remove the reciprocal tariffs from certain products, such as textiles and apparel products, originating under the Dominican Republic-Central America Free Trade Agreement (DR-CAFTA). This will be a boon for U.S. textile production and El Salvador’s and Guatemala’s economic growth, and will strengthen the resilience of textile and apparel supply chains.

LIBERATING AMERICA FROM UNFAIR TRADE PRACTICES: President Trump has challenged the assumption that American workers and businesses must tolerate unfair trade practices that have disadvantaged them for decades and contributed to our historic global trade deficit.

On April 2, President Trump declared a national emergency in response to the large and persistent U.S. goods trade deficit caused by a lack of reciprocity in our bilateral trade relationships, unfair tariff and non-tariff barriers, and U.S. trading partners’ economic policies that suppress domestic wages and consumption.
President Trump continues to advance the interests of the American people and our agricultural sector by removing tariff and non-tariff barriers and expanding market access for American exporters.
Most recently, President Trump delivered a series of historic wins for the American people during his successful trip to Asia, signing Agreements on Reciprocal Trade with Malaysia and Cambodia, securing investments in Japan and Korea, and announcing joint frameworks for trade negotiations with Thailand and Vietnam.
Today’s announcement shows that America can defend its domestic production while obtaining expansive market access with our trading partners.

Tariffs

President Trump call opposition out for intentionally trying to derail the country’s tariff policies and strategy, even though they have been highly successful and have been routinely used in past American history. The spin seems to be intentional to influence the understanding and thinking of the American people to undermine support for President Trump and his leadership. Almost as they wanted the country to fail, and cause Americans to suffer.
