The U.S. goods trade deficit hit $XXX trillion in 2024 – a record high Trump called "winning." Yet his tariffs now average XXXX% (July 2025), costing consumers XX% more for shoes & XX% profit losses at GM last quarter. "Liberation Day" tariffs even targeted Australia/Brazil where we HAD surpluses.  

Tariffs are taxes Americans pay. The admin swore trade deficits would shrink, but they grew XX% in 2024. They claimed consumers would bear XX% of costs – reality: 100%. Projected GDP growth slashed XXX% this year, 594k jobs lost by December. Courts ruled IEEPA tariffs illegal in May 2025, yet Trump still threatens XXX% drug tariffs. Canada retaliated with $20B in levies.  

History will judge this as economic arson: burning global trust to fuel campaign slogans.
