🔥 THE REAL DEAL — PROTECTIONISM OR ECONOMIC PAIN?
Trump’s tariff blitz on imports isn’t just political noise — it’s reshaping the global economy and hitting everybody’s wallet. US tariffs went from basically nothing to insane levels in 2025, hitting steel, autos, electronics and practically all import categories. That’s the highest US tariff rate in over a century.

Here’s the brutal truth:
📉 Prices are going up — tariffs raise costs for US consumers and businesses, reducing purchasing power. Economists legit say durable goods are noticeably more expensive now.
📊 Economic growth is slowing — surveys show slower hiring & spending, partly tied to tariffs.
🚜 Farmers & manufacturers are bleeding — aid packages aren’t enough to offset tariff damage.
🚗 Global pushback is real — EU & Canada hit with countermeasures; German exports to the US down ~14%.

Trump says tariffs bring jobs back & shrink trade deficits. Economists say the picture is way more complicated — lower deficits often come from weaker demand, not economic strength. �

End of the day?
Tariffs are a gamble — they might protect some industries short-term, but the price tag lands on consumers, farmers, exporters and global supply chains. That’s not hype — that’s real data.
