💰 Record Revenue:

US Customs hit $215.2B in tariff collections for FY2025, with $34.2B in October alone.

🛡 Tariffs Are Here to Stay:

President Trump declares tariffs a permanent tool—not just a “negotiating chip,” but a long-term revenue and security measure.

📈 Inflation Impact:

Tariffs now add roughly 11% to annual inflation. Retailers passed costs to consumers: shoes +40%, apparel +36%.

📊 Market Reaction:

S&P 500 initially dropped 19% over trade fears but rebounded as the average tariff settled near 15%—high historically, but below feared 30%.

🌏 Global Moves:

China Truce: November deal halts Chinese retaliatory duties on US soy & pork; US reduces “fentanyl surcharges” by 10%.

Warrior Dividend: $1,776 one-time bonus for military, funded via tariffs.

New Targets: Jan 1, 2026 → softwood timber, furniture, kitchen cabinets.

🔮 2026 Outlook:

Economists warn of stagflation: 4.6% unemployment with 3.5%+ inflation. Fed pressured to “look through” tariff-driven hikes and cut rates anyway.

⚖️ Verdict:

“America First” is fully live. US now the most protected major economy since the 1930s.
