Trump Urges Senate to Pass Daylight Saving Time Bill

A presidential endorsement of Boeing’s 737 Max performance, a fresh attack on what Trump called a "leftist race narrative" in Mississippi, and a renewed push to end daylight saving time topped his latest Truth Social posts. Trump also weighed in on the U.S. military withdrawal from Iraq, framing it as a long-delayed victory and a clean exit from a costly war, while pressing Senate Republicans to advance his clock-change bill.

Boeing Praise

Economy

Trump praised Boeing after the company’s 737 Max aircraft withstood extreme stress in testing, calling it a triumph of design and engineering. He directed his remarks to Boeing’s leadership and said the company deserves more credit for its commercial jets.

The post fits Trump’s long-running pattern of using corporate praise to project American industrial strength while positioning himself as the president who recognizes and rewards national champions. It also serves a broader economic-nationalist message: that major manufacturers should be celebrated when they deliver visible proof of technical excellence, especially after Boeing’s years of scrutiny over safety and quality issues. By elevating the company in such emphatic terms, Trump is signaling support for domestic manufacturing and trying to align himself with competence, resilience, and U.S. industrial prestige.

"Congratulations to the GREAT Boeing Company for producing a plane, the 737 Max, that was able to withstand G Forces and Strain far beyond what it was designed and expected to do."

"It is about time that The Boeing Company, which builds, by far, the finest commercial airliners in the sky, was given credit for this airplane’s incredible “genius!”"
