Even Trump Voters Are Feeling the Heat—and That’s Exactly the Point

Yesterday, I sat in a nail salon packed with women who, just months ago, were cheering on the very policies now squeezing their wallets. But make no mistake: what I heard wasn’t regret—it was revelation. These women weren’t turning on Trump. They were waking up to the brutal cost of rooting out corruption. The whole place was in an uproar—about the stock market’s downward spiral, skyrocketing food prices, layoffs sweeping through major companies. And the salon owner? Nearly in tears. She told me business is down because “women are choosing groceries over gel nails.”

Let that sink in.

This isn’t just a recession. This is a reckoning.

These women voted for Trump, and yes—they’re scared. But not because they think he’s off his rocker—they’re scared because, for the first time in decades, someone has stepped up and is actually doing something about it. Trump isn’t playing politics—he’s taking a battering ram to the globalist cartel that’s been bleeding this nation dry. The parasites are being evicted, and it hurts. It’s supposed to. And everyone is feeling the heat—this is what it looks like when you rip corruption out by the roots.

According to Business Insider, Trump’s recent tariff hikes are putting more pressure on everyday Americans, as families already drowning in student loan debt now face higher prices on essentials. But let’s be real—those tariffs aren’t the problem. They’re the necessary purge. The same article admits people are caught in a “limbo of economic uncertainty.” Good. Uncertainty is the soil where idols are shattered and dependency on government dies.

But let’s talk history. The last time America slapped heavy tariffs on imports without securing our internal economy, it was 1930. The Smoot-Hawley Tariff deepened the Great Depression. Why? Because the government was meddling for political gain—not to liberate a nation. This time is different. Trump isn’t throwing tariffs around to look tough—he’s wielding them like a scalpel, cutting off foreign manipulation and rebuilding an American-first foundation.

Biblically, this moment is prophetic. Haggai 2:7 says, “I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory.” Shaking hurts—but it’s God-ordained. And Proverbs 13:22 reminds us, “The wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.” The economic mess we’re seeing is a divine detox. The swamp is being drained, and guess what? It stinks.

So yes, the stock market is rattling. Yes, food prices are brutal. And yes, your nail tech is losing business. But this isn’t failure—it’s freedom being forged in fire. It’s judgment on a corrupt global order, and the pain is proof it’s working.

Don’t run from the shaking. Stand in it. And for those wringing their hands in fear, remember—God is not panicked, and neither is Trump. This storm isn’t the end. It’s the cleansing rain before the harvest.

Hebrews 12:26-27

“At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, ‘Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.’”

God’s allowing the shaking—so embrace it. Draw close to Him, and He will draw close to you. That’s His promise!
