Staff ReportsPresident Trump’s tariffs were supposed to be the bogeyman of the economy, the harbinger of runaway inflation and crushing prices at the grocery store. The mainstream media, in their usual panic and blind devotion to globalist special interests, warned us endlessly that any move to protect American industry would slam hardworking families with soaring costs. Yet, here we are, and the numbers don’t lie. Inflation remains modest and controlled, proving once again that the liberal narrative is full of hot air.
The clever folks who run the economy on their Twitter feeds and soundbites predicted disaster as soon as Trump slapped tariffs on unfair imports, especially from China. They claimed that American wallets would be emptied and the economy would spiral into chaos. But the truth—painful as it is for the left to swallow—is that inflation barely budged. Stripping out volatile categories like food and energy, prices didn’t even hit their expected marks. The so-called “economic experts” conveniently ignored the fact that fundamentals like employment remain strong, showing that the labor market isn’t dead or dying as the left loves to claim.

The tariffs were designed as a response to decades of lopsided trade deals that drained American wealth and handed our jobs to foreign countries. Trump’s bold move to level the playing field was met with shrieks about a trade war and “rising prices,” but those predictions were pure fearmongering. Instead, the policy laid the groundwork for a fairer, more balanced economy without torching the value of the dollar or breaking the backs of everyday Americans. When Trump struck a deal with China—raising tariffs on their goods while cutting some of their taxes on ours—it was a moment of strength. Meanwhile, liberal media outlets swirled in their usual cocktail of doom and gloom, too blinded by their hatred of Trump to admit that the economy was holding up just fine.
Make no mistake, the left’s campaign against tariffs is less about economics and more about protecting globalist cronies and multinational corporations who want cheap labor abroad, regardless of how it guts American workers. This anti-American bias fuels their narrative that raising taxes on imports is somehow evil. Yet, when tariffs keep jobs at home and encourage fair competition, suddenly the screaming starts. The truth is that protecting America isn’t toxic—it’s smart. And Trump’s tariffs provide evidence that you can stand up for this country without triggering the economic apocalypse liberals love to peddle.
So what’s the real lesson here? The Trump tariffs didn’t cause inflation to spiral—they barely nudged it. Yet the mainstream media ran a nonstop fear campaign to scare Americans into submission. The left would rather see this country hollowed out by unfair trade policies and shady global deals than admit that an America-first agenda actually works. Now the question is: when will the rest of the country wake up to this truth and demand economic policies that put America before foreign powers and virtue-signaling elites? If prices aren’t skyrocketing, what excuse does the left have left to sabotage our prosperity?
