You know how you can always spot a kid who’s more interested in winning the science fair than actually doing the experiment, right?
That’s Aaron Ford right now — only it’s not a science project he’s messing with. It’s the state of Nevada.
Ford, Nevada’s Attorney General, has been using our taxpayer-funded office like it’s his personal campaign HQ. His latest stunt?
Filing a lawsuit to block President Trump’s tariffs — not because he’s losing sleep over working families, but because he sees a chance to score political points and line up support for his next big gig: Governor.
Ford said, and I quote: “Nevadans shouldn’t have to pay the price for politicians playing games with our economy.”
Funny thing is, that’s exactly what he’s doing — playing games. And he’s using Nevadans as pawns.
Now, let’s break this down…
Trump’s tariffs? They weren’t some random tantrum. They were a smart move to defend American workers and industries after decades of getting ripped off by countries like China.
For years, the D.C. elite sat on their soft hands while our factories shut down, our farmers got squeezed, and our workers lost jobs.
Trump stepped in and said, “Enough.”
He used tariffs — a small tax on foreign goods — as a weapon to level the playing field.
Kinda like charging your cousin double rent if he keeps raiding your fridge. Fair’s fair.
Sure, tariffs can raise prices a little at first. But guess what? They also force foreign cheaters to play by the rules, boost American businesses, and bring jobs back home.
And it’s working. Manufacturing is already growing under Trump and for the first time in decades the economy is finally starting to tilt back toward Main Street instead of Beijing.
But Aaron Ford? He twisted the story to scare folks.
He claims tariffs would “slam Nevada’s economy” — raising prices, cutting jobs, and slowing tourism and construction.
Hogwash. In fact, under Trump, before COVID hit, America saw record-low unemployment — including in Nevada.
Wages rose. Jobs came back. People finally had a little jingle in their pockets again.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, manufacturing jobs grew by over 450,000 during Trump’s first three years.
Construction and tourism industries in Nevada were booming pre-pandemic, thanks to strong consumer confidence and a president who finally stood up for American interests.
And while critics whine about costs, they forget the bigger picture: a strong, self-reliant America is worth paying a few cents more at the store.
Would you rather save a buck buying cheap junk from China or have a good-paying job in your hometown? It’s not rocket science.
Ford’s lawsuit wasn’t about helping struggling families. It was about grabbing headlines, cozying up to liberal donors, and laying the groundwork for his run at the governor’s mansion.
It’s the oldest trick in the political playbook: pretend you’re fighting for “the people” while actually fighting for yourself.
Even worse, Ford’s move sends a message to foreign countries that America’s internal squabbling can be used against us.
He’s waving a white flag at China and telling Nevada workers, “You’re on your own.”
Opponents like Ford will whine that tariffs are a “tax on Americans.” That’s the lazy argument of globalists who never lifted a wrench or clocked in for a night shift.
They forget that strong economies aren’t built on cheap imports. They’re built on sweat, hard work, and American pride.
In short: Trump is fighting for us. Ford is fighting for himself.
His latest lawsuit is like a boxer throwing the fight to get a job as a sports commentator. Slick move for his career, terrible for the team.
Nevada deserves better. We need leaders who’ll fight for our jobs, our industries, and our future — not sell us out for a pat on the back from D.C. elites.
