Thank you @SenJonHusted for welcoming me to Ohio and for hosting our roundtable with local small business owners. From fair trade and Working Families Tax Cuts to historic deregulation, we heard from Ohioans who are growing their operations thanks to America First policies that strong partners in Congress, we’re reversing the damage of the Biden Admin and putting America’s Main Street job creators first.

This Admin’s fraud crackdown isn’t just about holding fraudsters accountable. It’s about restoring safeguards, and trust, across the federal programs designed to support honest Americans.
Thanks to President Trump, taxpayer dollars are serving the American people, not the fraudsters who seek to exploit them.

Fair trade is directly benefiting rural communities, as evidenced by the latest $4.2 BILLION deal that will soon bring 4,500 good-paying jobs to middle Georgia.
@POTUS is rewarding the companies that choose to build here – bringing vital manufacturing power back to the U.S., along with the jobs that other Admins sent overseas!

The Working Families Tax Cuts stopped a $4 TRILLION tax hike. For small businesses, they also delivered:
✅ 20% permanent small business tax deduction
✅ 100% expensing for equipment purchases and factory expansion
✅ No tax on tips or overtime
✅ Trump Accounts
Thank you @POTUS!

Every single Democrat in Congress voted against President Trump’s historic tax cuts, including No Tax on Tips.
They voted against Voter I.D. They voted against Proof of Citizenship. They voted AGAINST securing our borders.
They vote against the American people.

Throughout the 20th century, American military dominance depended not just on our warfighters on the front lines – but on the manufacturers and innovators here at home.
Today, the Smaller War Plants Commission is helping America return to that legacy by investing in the small businesses that comprise 70% of the defense industrial base.

I was proud to visit Plas-Tech Tooling earlier this week to personally congratulate the Sonquist Family on winning the Million Dollar Pitch Competition. Nearly all of Garner, Iowa came out to watch the show – including the next generation of the family business.
Like any ily isn’t resting on its laurels. Already, they’re breaking ground on space for the new machines their winnings will help purchase.
This is the best of Main Street: the risk-taking, the sacrifice, and the grit that built America!

We’re hitting our fourth state of the week in Greenville, North Carolina, visiting Briley’s Farm for a great roundtable on how this Admin is backing America’s family farmers.
From $8 billion in Harvest Fuel Relief for farmers, to the Working Family Tax Cuts that staved off the ate insanity, we’re working to restore rural America - not tax and regulate them out of existence.

Great day in Georgia highlighting SBA’s results for small businesses - from the Gwinnett Chamber to the JPMorgan Chase Make Your Move Summit.
From more access to capital and expanding the defense industrial base to fighting fraud, we’ve built a modern, results-driven SBA that e’re grateful to the many local leaders and lenders who help advance that mission every day.

Earlier this year, SBA removed about 700 firms from its 8(a) program – rooting out those that did not qualify as “economically disadvantaged,” as well as those who refused to share basic financial data for review.
Today, we shared those firms with @USGSA, which will scrutinize their past government contract awards for potential fraud, improprieties, and financial misrepresentation.
The Trump SBA will not tolerate bad actors exploiting federal contracting programs at the expense of honest small businesses or American taxpayers.

FRAUD UPDATE: Today, SBA is referring nearly 700 noncompliant 8(a) firms to GSA for review to evaluate potential fraud in their government contracting history.
This action comes as part of SBA’s broader effort to restore accountability to the 8(a) Program for “socially and ged” small businesses.
