The Art Of Winning

What a difference! Just months ago, the nation was rudderless under the so-called ‘leadership’ of a president more concerned with hiding his own decline. American success and prosperity? Dead last on the priority list. Instead, it was: Let’s drain the treasury for a “whatever it takes” war. Let’s empty the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to win a midterm. Let’s hire 87,000 IRS agents to harass hardworking Americans.

November 5 changed everything.

America elected a man who survived two assassination attempts, 93 indictments, and a political establishment that wanted him locked away for 641 years. The shockwaves of that victory are being felt from Tokyo to London, from Buenos Aires to Beijing. When Americans travel, they’re hit with the same questions: What’s Trump going to do about Taiwan? Can he actually end the Russia-Ukraine war? And wait—does he really want to take over Canada?

His presence in the Oval Office has already curbed the invasion at the southern border. No new laws, no congressional deals—just a President who actually wants to stop illegal immigration. As he said Tuesday before Congress:

The media and our friends in the Democrat Party kept saying we needed new legislation; we must have legislation to secure the border. But it turned out that all we really needed was a new president.

But if you listened to the media, you’d think the sky was falling.

The usual voices wasted no time warning that Trump’s economic agenda would cripple investment, spook businesses, and send America into recession. The Guardian fretted about a looming “Trumpcession.” Joseph Stiglitz insisted that Trump’s trade policies made the U.S. a “scary place to invest.” Business Insider lamented that businesses were too rattled to commit capital.

And yet, the flood of investment tells a different story. In just six weeks, America has secured over $3 trillion in fresh commitments. From semiconductors to AI, from energy to manufacturing, the world’s biggest players aren’t fleeing—they’re betting big on America’s future.

Let’s look at what’s happening on the ground:

Apple’s $500 billion investment is a resounding vote of confidence in America’s economic future under Trump. Just days after meeting with President Trump, CEO Tim Cook unveiled Apple’s ambitious plans, which include a new AI server factory in Texas, a manufacturing academy in Detroit, and expansions across multiple states—from Arizona and Nevada to California and North Carolina. The investment will create tens of thousands of high-tech jobs, particularly in AI, silicon engineering, and machine learning, reinforcing America’s leadership in cutting-edge technology. Apple isn’t just staying in the U.S.—it’s doubling down.

Honda is shifting gears—literally and figuratively—in response to Trump’s economic policies. The automaker announced it will move production of its popular Civic hybrid from Mexico to Indiana, a direct result of Trump’s tariffs on Mexican and Canadian imports. In addition, Honda is investing in a new manufacturing plant in the U.S., one of the largest in the world, further cementing America’s resurgence as a global auto manufacturing powerhouse.

Eli Lilly is making a massive bet on American pharmaceutical manufacturing, announcing a $27 billion investment to build four new facilities in the U.S. The company says these plants will create over 3,000 permanent jobs and require 10,000 construction workers to bring them to life. Faced with Trump’s push to bring pharmaceutical manufacturing home—backed by potential tariffs on foreign drug imports—Eli Lilly is choosing to invest on American soil.

TSMC, the world’s dominant semiconductor manufacturer, is nearly tripling its U.S. investment with a $100 billion expansion, solidifying America’s place in the global chip supply chain. The plan includes three new chip plants, two advanced packaging facilities, and a research and development center––all aimed at producing the world’s most powerful AI and semiconductor chips. This commitment follows Trump’s push to reduce reliance on China and ensure cutting-edge technology is made in America.

Trump said on Tuesday: "This is a time for big dreams and bold action." Beyond manufacturing, Trump is securing America’s dominance in the AI revolution. His Stargate Project—a $500 billion joint venture with OpenAI, Oracle, SoftBank, and MGX—is the largest AI infrastructure investment in history. While critics feared Trump’s policies would drive away innovation, the world’s top AI players are choosing to build in America.

In addition to corporations, nations are finding Trump’s America attractive for big investments:

Japan – Japan has pledged $1 trillion in new investments in the U.S., signaling a deepening economic alliance. Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba also committed to importing U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG) at historic levels and expanding Japanese industrial and auto manufacturing in America, strengthening trade ties between the two nations.

Saudi Arabia – Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has committed $600 billion in investments across U.S. energy, infrastructure, and technology sectors over the next four years. This massive infusion underscores Saudi Arabia’s strategic pivot toward deeper economic cooperation with America.

India – Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Trump have agreed to expand U.S.-India trade to $500 billion, further solidifying a crucial economic partnership. India is also ramping up investments in U.S. technology and defense industries, aligning with Trump’s broader strategy to counterbalance China’s global influence.

For all the dire warnings about Trump’s economic policies, the evidence is now overwhelming. The biggest corporations and wealthiest nations aren’t fleeing America—they’re racing to invest. From AI to autos, pharmaceuticals to semiconductors, Trump’s America is once again the prime destination for global capital.

On Tuesday, President Trump emphasized his vision of limitless potential and triumph ahead, declaring: "My fellow Americans, get ready for an incredible future because the golden age of America has only just begun."

He asserted, "We have accomplished more in 43 days than most administrations accomplish in four years or eight years — and we are just getting started."

Winning isn’t just a slogan—it’s America’s new reality. To put it simply, America is back.
