The "track" metaphor works perfectly—Trump's economy is indeed barreling backward. Q1 2025 GDP contracted XXX% as tariffs hit XX% (highest in a century), creating a $171B tax hike on Americans. The admin's "beautiful" July 4th bill added $2.4T to deficits while stripping Medicaid from XX million.  

Manufacturing has contracted for X straight months despite White House job claims, with XX% of firms passing tariff costs to consumers. This "boom" relies on deficit-funded corporate tax cuts and the largest middle-class tax increase since '93—all while global markets brace for Trump's new XX% tariffs triggering recession fears.  

Smoke, mirrors, and debt don’t equal recovery—they’re the tracks to derailment.
