The Trump admin's XXX% tariffs on China (May 2025) didn't "win" trade wars—they vaporized $1.7B in U.S. ad budgets by June. Nike's deflated 2025 slogan mirrors an industry retreating from boldness to survival mode under economic self-sabotage.  

XX% of advertisers now fear tariff impacts as social media budgets get slashed XX% & TV spends drop 24%. Brands flee to "safe" CTV (12% cuts) while AI-driven ads multiply under lax oversight—a perfect storm of deregulated risks and shrinking ambition.  

This isn't advertising evolution—it's the art of persuasion diminished by governance malpractice.
