In a March 17 piece, “Donald Trump, Rosie the Riveter, and the Revival of American Economic Nationalism,” Virgil took note of President Trump’s speech, two days earlier, recalling the B-24 plant at Willow Run, Michigan. And that article brought forth an outpouring of WW2 memories from Breitbart readers, many of them recording what they had heard, over the years, from fathers, mothers, and other loved ones who lived, worked, and fought in that era. Virgil sifted through all the comments, more than 1800 of them; these left him inspired, informed, amused, and, okay, sometimes bemused. On this Memorial Day, let’s take a look at some of these comments from Breitbart readers.

President Donald Trump met with European Union leaders in Brussels to discuss trade, calling Germany “very bad” on the issue.

Dr. Peter Navarro, assistant to U.S. President Donald J. Trump and Director of the White House National Trade Council, has hinted on Breitbart News Daily that recent comments concerning the revival of a U.S./EU trade deal are off-base. He confirmed the administration “prefers bilateral deals” and a similar North American trade agreement is due for the chopping block.

Dr. Peter Navarro, White House National Trade Council director, spoke with SiriusXM host Alex Marlow on Friday’s Breitbart News Daily about President Trump’s “Buy American, Hire American” order and his call for an investigation of foreign steel dumping.

‘Buy American’ has been the law for generations. Finally we have a president willing to enforce the law and protect American workers.

The New York fashion establishment’s close ties to the open borders lobby will be on full display during an upcoming joint press conference calling for the continued flow of low-skilled legal immigration.

In his March 20 speech in Louisville, Kentucky, President Trump sounded many familiar and important themes, including the importance of jobs, manufacturing, trade, and the need to revive the coal industry. And yet he also added a new and larger “meta-theme,” namely, the urgency of building up our industrial strength for the sake of economic and national security. That meta-theme, we might observe, is the essence of the “American System” of Henry Clay.

Senate Minority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) says the Democrats’ caucus in the Senate is unwilling to work with President Donald Trump.

Free trade enthusiasts who support President Trump are simply saying that his new approach deserves a chance. No one has abandoned free trade, and if the veterans of NeverTrump would put aside their wounded pride, they might see that there is less distance between them and the administration than they may care to admit.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau met with President Donald Trump at the White House on Monday to discuss trade, security, and the challenges faced by women in the workforce, among other issues.

Professor Ted Malloch, tipped widely as the man Donald Trump will choose to serve as his ambassador to the European Union (EU), has told the BBC that Great Britain is now “at the front of the queue” for a trade deal with the United States.

It’s possible, perhaps even likely, that under President Trump we will once again become a nation for all Americans—even Middle Americans. We could yet be the “city on a hill” that Ronald Reagan so eloquent described. That is, a true center-right “Team America,” united in its determination to work hard and do well, with US citizens coming first. Of course, not everyone thinks that what happened on Election Day 2016 was a beautiful thing, because they have been living their lives according to a vision much different than Trump’s economic nationalism.
