Support rate plummets, Trump is frantic! Using tariffs to pay the military, can empty promises save the re-election dream? 一起聊聊！
Trump's national television speech completely backfired! Reading from a script for 17 minutes with frequent stutters, speaking so fast as if in a hurry, the once arrogant demeanor has vanished—this is not a presidential speech at all, but a live eruption of re-election anxiety. The poll data behind it is too glaring: only 33% of the public approve of his economic policy, and the support rate has dropped to 40% in July, with the midterm elections approaching in 2026, the 2028 re-election plan is at risk.
Claiming that "wages are rising and prices are falling," but reality hits hard: the unemployment rate surged to a four-year high of 4.6% in November, inflation far exceeds the Federal Reserve's target, soaring food and energy prices leave the public gasping for breath. With no way out, Trump once again resorts to the old tactic of shifting blame, spending five minutes attacking Biden, accusing his predecessor of leaving a mess, yet these accusations lack even a shred of data support.
The real "big move" is even more absurd: announcing a $1,776 "warrior bonus" for each of the 1.5 million U.S. troops, while proudly stating that the money comes from tariffs. This is not distributing benefits, it is clearly robbing Peter to pay Paul! In the first three quarters of 2025, American companies have already paid $89 billion more in tariffs, ultimately passed on to consumers, with price increases on "Black Friday" goods and an annual family loss of $3,800 as undeniable evidence; tariffs are essentially a hidden tax on the public.
Empty promises abound: pledging to launch the "most powerful housing reform" next year, helping home buyers save $3,000 on mortgages each year, yet without mentioning any specific measures; threatening to change the Federal Reserve chair to lower interest rates, ignoring the potential inflation rebound that could result from rate cuts; boasting about attracting $18 trillion in investments, only to be exposed that the actual amount is only $7 trillion.
Using tariffs as a universal key, wanting to increase revenue while also pleasing voters, but high tariffs have already disrupted the American industrial chain, with companies relocating production capacity and rising unemployment as the price. Can such self-destructive actions fool voters for a moment?
The short-term benefits for the U.S. military will ultimately be paid for by ordinary people through price increases; can the empty promises of reform cover up the deep-seated economic crisis? Will the uncertainties in American political economy affect global markets?
