**President Trump declares that tariffs have brought in 18 trillion USD**
In a national television program:
“Thanks to the tariffs, we have collected over 18 trillion USD in just 10 months.
Biden hasn't achieved 1 trillion USD in four years.”
This is not direct revenue.
These are investment statements from companies building in the US to avoid taxes.
**Strategies**:
- Importing goods from abroad
- Leveraging the global supply chain
- Using tariffs as an incentive factor
**Actual taxes:** many hundreds of trillions USD (the highest level in history)
But commitments? Over 10 trillion USD in factories, engineering jobs...
The media calls it chaos.
President Trump calls it a victory.
And if he escalates confrontation with China / Europe in a second term…
This force could flow into US energy, manufacturing, and cryptocurrency infrastructure.
Finance will follow the winning sides.
The trade war is not over.
