On May 4, the Trump administration collected over $17.4 billion in "tariffs and certain excise taxes" in April, nearly double the $9.6 billion revenue in March, and far exceeding any revenue during Trump's first term. Since January 1, these tariffs have injected over $70 billion into government revenue. Trump previously stated on a show that with billions of dollars in tariff revenue flowing in, the U.S. is "just getting started". (Jin10)
