Steve Moore said Tuesday on Newsmax that President Donald Trump’s first hour in his second term outpaced former President Joe Biden’s entire presidency.
During an appearance on “Rob Schmitt Tonight,” Moore said that Trump, within the first two hours of his presidency, issued a series of executive orders, setting a pace that Moore describes as unprecedented. Moore also said Trump’s approach not only reasserts American economic priorities but also serves as a strategic move to reposition the U.S. in global trade dynamics.
“It is so amazing what Trump did yesterday. And I was up, you know, late last night watching him sign those executive orders one after another. I don’t think any president in one hour or two hours has achieved more than what Donald Trump did,” Moore said. “He accomplished more for our country in his first two hours as president than Joe Biden did in his entire presidency.”
The economic direction Trump is taking, Moore said, shows a strong shift towards America-first policies.
“So what a joy to see someone who really does put America first. And in terms of the economics of those executive orders, I mean, I think they’re going to have a tremendous effect. It was almost, Rob, like what we did was we’re doing Bidenomics in reverse, and putting it in reverse is what we might call Trumpanomics,” Moore said.
The conversation between Schmitt and Moore also touched on Trump’s economic policies as they relate to tariffs.
“I’m hearing there will be an across-the-board tariff right out of the gate, whether there’ll be 10 or 15 or 20 percent. I don’t know. I haven’t heard. Well, I’m talking about on all imports. And then there would be some special tariffs on China, I mean, on Canada and Mexico,” Moore said. “Trump has mentioned tariffs as high as 40 percent on China.”
Moore then discussed what he said were Trump’s negotiation skills.
“This is a shot at the bow of all these other countries to either help us in making America great and doing things that are [in] America’s interest, or you’re going to lose access to American markets,” Moore said.
“He’s using it as leverage.”
Trump has reportedly opted to take a cautious approach in the initial phase of his second term. He’s holding off on the broad application of tariffs he previously threatened against global imports. On Monday, Trump said his administration is considering imposing 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico by Feb. 1, unless, he added, they enhance measures to curb unauthorized migration and the influx of illicit drugs into the U.S.
