🚨 Trump on Tariffs: “Hundreds of Billions, No Inflation” 💥
Former President Donald Trump claims his tariff policies brought in massive revenue for the U.S. Treasury while causing “virtually no inflation.”
Key Points from Trump:
💰 Generated hundreds of billions in government revenue
🏭 Protected American jobs and industries
🛡️ Strengthened national security
🌍 Reduced dependence on foreign manufacturing
Trump notes that tariffs were once the main source of U.S. revenue before income taxes and argues modern tariffs could have a similar impact without directly burdening citizens.
Counterpoints from Critics:
Could raise consumer prices
Risk trade retaliation
Strain international relations
Trump insists tariffs offer a “win-win” — revenue, protection, and leverage in global trade and defense.
Market Implications:
If aggressive tariffs return, global markets, risk assets, and crypto sentiment could see fast-moving impacts. Stay alert to macro developments.
