Exposing Trump’s Insulting Lie
President Trump has repeatedly claimed that his recent tariffs have enriched the federal budget and, therefore, reduced the deficit. However, (1) that is only their temporary effect, because tariffs raise import prices and ultimately reduce their volume, and (2) the tariffs are really additional taxes on U.S. consumers. Those taxes are not paid by foreign suppliers; and even more unfairly, most of them are already being, and will be, paid by low and middle-income domestic purchasers of imported goods.
Trump Is using the tariff scam to hoodwink most of his election supporters and allow high-income earners, like himself, to avoid more taxes. Democrats planning to terminate his control of the government in 2026 must expose the dishonesty of his message and proclaim their intention to return the common people’s welfare to the top of the government’s priorities.
