The Daily Herold: Feb. 13, 2025 – Trump’s Tariff Play, Deep State Panic, and the Sovereign Alliance Takes Shape

Jon Herold breaks down the latest geopolitical shake-ups as Trump and Putin prepare for a high-stakes meeting in Saudi Arabia, signaling that the Ukraine war may finally be coming to an end. Trump’s demand for $500 billion in rare earth minerals as part of the deal is sending shockwaves through Kyiv, while the establishment media struggles to spin it as anything other than a power move. Meanwhile, in Gaza, Trump is forcing the Arab world to step up with a plan of their own, proving once again that he’s playing chess while everyone else is still figuring out checkers.

Back in D.C., the deep state is in full meltdown mode. The judiciary is scrambling to block Trump’s spending freezes, USAID’s money laundering pipeline is drying up, and activist judges are desperately trying to keep the administrative state intact. But Trump isn’t waiting around...he’s already begun the federal firing spree, with probationary employees at the Department of Education and Small Business Administration getting their walking papers.

As Doge continues to expose government corruption, Trump is making it clear that the days of endless slush funds and unchecked bureaucratic power are over. The swamp is running out of moves, and The Daily Herold is here for every second of it.
