✅WATCH! White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent held a press briefing on April 29, 2025, focusing on the first 100 days of Donald Trump's presidency. The briefing began with the announcement that the bipartisan "Take it Down Act" passed the House. The act criminalizes the publication of non-consensual intimate imagery and requires social media platforms to remove such content within 48 hours. Leavitt highlighted First Lady Melania Trump's role in championing the legislation. Karoline Leavitt described the first 100 days as "the most historic start to a presidency in American history," claiming promises made were kept. Economic successes were noted: 345,000 jobs created (including 9,000 in manufacturing), historically low unemployment, and the first consumer price decline since the COVID-19 pandemic. It was asserted that prices for airfare, used cars, prescription drugs (largest drop ever recorded), gasoline (-7%), and wholesale eggs (-50% since inauguration) have decreased due to the administration's actions. The policy of restoring American energy dominance by ending the "war on American energy" and announcing a new offshore drilling policy in the Gulf of Mexico (+100,000 barrels per day) was emphasized. Significant attention was given to deregulation. Leavitt stated Trump blocked unfinalized Biden-era rules, saving $100 billion, and launched an initiative to roll back existing regulations, projected (including EPA emissions rules and DOT fuel economy standards rollbacks) to yield $755 billion in savings, totaling 935 b i l l i o n ( 935billion( 11,000 per family of four over a decade). The attraction of over $5 trillion in investment commitments from major companies (Apple, Nvidia, TSMC, OpenAI/Oracle/Softbank) was announced, estimated to create 451,000 new jobs. Leavitt claimed Trump secured more investment in 100 days than Biden did in 4 years. On trade, Leavitt mentioned the implementation of "powerful tariffs" and stated that over 100 countries are already seeking more favorable terms for the U.S. Progress on "one big beautiful Bill" was mentioned, including the largest tax cuts in history, border security measures, military advancements, deregulation, and spending reforms. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent answered questions on tariffs, stating they could potentially be used to reduce income tax and fund the elimination of taxes on tips, Social Security, and overtime. He stressed that tariffs aim to bring back manufacturing to the U.S. and generate revenue. Responding to negative economic surveys, Bessent urged focusing on actual data (job growth, consumer spending, investment commitments) rather than surveys. Regarding negotiations with China, Bessent didn't comment on their status but expressed confidence that current tariffs are "unsustainable" for China and could cost it millions of jobs. He also referred to "strategic uncertainty" as Trump's negotiation tactic to achieve the best deals for America. An upcoming executive order easing auto tariffs to incentivize the return of U.S. manufacturing was announced. Bessent noted progress in talks with Asian partners, particularly India, and expressed optimism about concluding deals soon. He also highlighted the importance of the upcoming tax bill, which would make the 2017 tax cuts permanent and add new relief for working Americans, including full expensing for equipment (retroactive) and factories. Leavitt sharply criticized Amazon's reported plans to display the portion of prices attributed to Trump tariffs, calling it a "hostile and political act" and linking it to Amazon's alleged partnership with "Chinese propaganda," urging Americans to "buy American." In conclusion, Leavitt and Bessent reaffirmed the administration's commitment to making the U.S. the best place for business through low taxes, deregulation, and cheap energy, declaring that "the golden age of America is underway." ✅ CLICK! 🔥 ___ #News #CNN #AmericanSpirit #AmbitionNation #ExploreInnovate #AmericanLegacy #Inspiration #foxnews #shorts #BreakingNews #Trending ____ #Trump #100Days #USEconomy #Tariffs #Taxes #Investment #WhiteHouse #USPolitics #MelaniaTrump #Amazon #China #Deregulation #ScottBessent #KarolineLeavitt ____
