The Tea Party Rallies for Trump, Against Socialism, on Its Ten-Year Anniversary

[WestVirginiaRebel]

On Monday, more than 40 rallies will renew the Tea Party movement, ten years after it first caught fire across the nation. Jenny Beth Martin, co-founder and national coordinator of Tea Party Patriots (a leading organization but not to be confused with the entire Tea Party movement), gave PJ Media an update on the Tea Party at age ten, and praised President Donald Trump for achieving some of the movement's goals.

"We stand for three things: personal freedom, economic freedom, and a debt-free future," Martin told PJ Media. Trump is "helping to expand personal freedom and economic freedom, with the reduction of regulations and the major tax reform and the appointments and confirmation in the Senate of people to the Supreme Court and other courts throughout the country who are originalist and adhere to the Constitution."

"We’ve had economic growth that we haven’t seen in over a decade in our country and many people have never seen in their adult lives in America," the Tea Party Patriots co-founder added.

Trump has a great deal more work to do on the debt, however. "We need to reduce government spending," Martin told PJ Media. She praised Trump's budgets for reducing the rate of growth, even though they still increase federal spending.

"In order to get a balanced budget, we have to reduce spending and grow the economy. He's taking one aspect to get a balanced budget," namely economic growth, but cutting spending is still important to Tea Party goals.
