Democrats are throwing a fit over President Trump’s new tariffs because they’re scared of losing control to policies that put America first. The latest round of tariffs adds 10 percent on most imports and higher rates on 57 countries. Liberals claim these taxes will hurt middle-class households, but they ignore how past administrations let foreign nations exploit American workers.
China, Canada, and the EU immediately retaliated with tariffs on $330 billion of U.S. exports. But Trump isn’t blinking. His policies are reducing our trade deficit and forcing bad actors to respect fair trade. The left’s panic proves they’d rather cater to global elites than protect American jobs.
The real story is how Democrats used free trade as a tool to send jobs overseas. For decades, bad deals gutted U.S. factories while funneling trillions to Wall Street. Now Trump is turning the screws, making foreign companies pay their fair share. The Wharton study’s “$22K lifetime loss” prophecy is fake news—no Model can predict how innovation thrives when we stop rewarding cheaters.
While Pelosi’s tax-raising warriors whine, the president simultaneously slashed taxes to boost growth. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act will grow long-term GDP by 1.1 percent while Democrats still cry about “lost revenues”. Their hypocrisy shines when they back union bosses over Main Street.
Media elites and RINO Republicans love to bash tariffs as “tax hikes” for voters. But these are taxes on Mexico, not moms in Michigan. Liberals pretend to care about inflation but supported energy policies that spiked gas prices to $5 a gallon. Trump’s tackling the root cause: foreign manipulation of us markets.
When leaks come out that China’s retaliating, they cheer. When U.S. workers start making goods again, they sabotage unions. The only “hysteria” is theirs—fear that Trump’s policies work, proving their globalist playbook failed.
The PIIE report warns of global slowdowns but ignores one thing: America’s stronger now. For too long, we funded EU armies and subsidised Chinese dictators. Trump’s strategy isn’t reckless—it’s forcing the world to price trade fairly. His tariffs are the one leverage point that worked when careers politicians failed.
The same party that backed ILLEGAL immigration to crash wages now pretends to protect families from tariffs. Trump secured the border and now he’s securing our economy. The “hysteria” is just their historic allergy to a president who actually puts America first.
