Donald Trump's second inauguration saw him surrounded by tech leaders who previously censored him, highlighting a shift in their relationship. Google and Meta executives, who had banned Trump, now appear to be aligning with him, suggesting a response to changing public sentiment.

Conservatives face a crucial choice on how to react to this newfound cooperation from Big Tech. Instead of demanding ideological purity from allies, they should recognize that the cultural tide has turned, allowing for a more strategic approach to countering leftist narratives without needing to change every individual's beliefs.

The Federalist: Trump Tries To Close Trade Loophole That Nets Billions To China
Trump Tries To Close Trade Loophole That Nets Billions To China
President Trump's recent executive order targets the de minimis provision, which allows low-value imports to enter the U.S. without tariffs. This provision has been exploited by foreign companies, especially from China, leading to a surge in exempt imports and significant market disruption for American businesses.

Critics argue that the de minimis loophole undermines U.S. labor and environmental standards, contributes to the drug trade, and threatens American jobs. A bipartisan push is underway to reform this provision, with calls to lower the threshold to align with stricter limits in other countries.
