Trump still thinks his tariffs are great--despite literally all evidence

During yet another Truth Social meltdown on Sunday, President Donald Trump complained about “BAD STORIES” about his dismal approval rating and pushed more lies about his ill-conceived trade war.

“When Tariffs cut in, many people’s Income Taxes will be substantially reduced, maybe even completely eliminated. Focus will be on people making less than $200,000 a year. Also, massive numbers of jobs are already being created, with new plants and factories currently being built or planned. It will be a BONANZA FOR AMERICA!!! THE EXTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE IS HAPPENING!!!” he wrote.

Someone should probably tell Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent about this “BONANZA,” since he’s called Trump’s escalating trade war with China “unsustainable” during closed-door meetings with financial leaders. Bessent has also predicted that the United States and China will need at least two or three years to negotiate new trade terms.

Meanwhile, a leading agricultural exports group announced Monday that U.S. farms have already experienced “massive” losses as a result of Trump’s trade war—losses that cannot be recouped.
