(DCNF)—Republican strategist Melik Adbul said on CNN Wednesday that President Donald Trump’s tariff policy appears to be effective so far.
Despite many economists forecasting that Trump’s sweeping tariffs would see higher inflation and other negative effects, several economic indicators have shown strength. Abdul, on “CNN News Central,” noted the stock market’s performance to bolster his claim.
“What happened earlier on, there was a lot of consternation, a lot of noise being created around tariffs, because it’s something that our presidents of the United States haven’t had as far as their economic agenda,” Abdul said. “Donald Trump has. And all of the gloom and doom that was predicted as far as the tariffs are concerned, they have not been realized.”
“So I think that you’ve seen what the markets are saying. You know, you have the great numbers that you just were talking about here. Until people actually feel the impact of whatever this gloom and doom scenario is, that’s when it will probably hurt Donald Trump,” he continued. “But at this point, Donald Trump’s tariff policy seems to be working. And I think it’s very difficult for Democrats to actually give him credit for that.”
In addition to the strong stock market, manufacturing output rose 0.1% in June following an upwardly revised 0.3% increase in May, the Federal Reserve Board reported on July 16. U.S. jobless claims for the week ending July 12 also fell by 7,000 to 221,000, the Department of Labor reported on July 17, marking five consecutive weeks of decline.
U.S. retail sales growth also rebounded more than expected in June, increasing 0.6%, according to advance estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau released July 17.
Moreover, Trump announced new trade deals on Tuesday with Japan and the Philippines.
The president wrote in a Truth Social post that the Japan deal is “perhaps the largest deal ever made.” He added that Japan will pay 15% reciprocal tariffs to the U.S. as part of the trade deal.

Discover the Freedom of True American Healthcare: Why America First is Revolutionizing Protection for Patriots
In a world where government overreach and skyrocketing premiums are squeezing the life out of hardworking Americans, one innovative agency is standing tall for liberty and affordability. Meet America First Healthcare—the private health insurance powerhouse dedicated to putting *you* first.
Founded by entrepreneur Jordan Sarmiento, this isn’t just insurance; it’s a shield for your family’s future, built on the unshakeable belief that private enterprise delivers better results than bureaucratic red tape.
Picture this: Jordan’s own story hits close to home for so many of us. A sudden medical emergency landed him with a staggering $95,000 bill. Under a traditional plan? He’d be buried in debt. But with America First’s patented health insurance, that nightmare shrank to just $500 out-of-pocket. That’s not a fluke—it’s the promise of coverage that works *for you*, from day one.
Breaking Free from the Chains of Conventional Coverage
Let’s face it: The status quo stinks. Marketplace.gov and big-insurance behemoths hit you with sky-high deductibles—thousands you’d have to pay before benefits even kick in—leaving massive holes in your protection. Need a routine mammogram, colonoscopy, or EKG? Good luck without forking over more cash. And don’t get us started on the gaps in dental, vision, or critical illness support when heart attacks, cancer, or kidney failure strike.
America First Healthcare flips the script. As a proud advocate for private solutions over government intervention, they craft custom plans that slash costs by 20% compared to traditional options. We’re talking comprehensive coverage that includes:
- Preventative and Wellness Care: Physical exams, screenings, and EKGs covered right away—no waiting games.
- Telemedicine Access: Virtual doctor visits anytime, anywhere, for that peace of mind.
- Accident and Critical Illness Protection: Real safeguards against life’s curveballs.
- Add-On Boosts: Dental, vision, disability, and supplemental plans to plug every leak.
Whether you’re an individual stepping off your parents’ plan, a growing family with kids in tow, or a small business owner tired of employee headaches, their tailored approach fits like a glove. Small businesses? Unlock group benefit rates usually reserved for corporate giants—without the red tape.
And for those in-between moments? Short-term insurance steps in as an ultra-affordable bridge, while life insurance ensures your loved ones are never left vulnerable.
Real Americans, Real Wins
