On Tariffs

At the heart of Trump’s argument was a simple claim: for generations, America had played by rules no one else followed.

Foreign governments protected their industries, manipulated trade balances, and enjoyed access to the world’s largest consumer market, while U.S. manufacturers were left hollowed out.

Trump called it theft. His critics called it ignorance. The tariffs were his line in the sand. What followed was not the clean morality play Americans were promised, but something far more complicated, and far more consequential.

As Newsmax reports, hundreds of billions of dollars in tariff revenue are already flowing into federal coffers, with projections reaching as high as $1 trillion and beyond.

Markets have rebounded. Inflation has not surged as predicted. And the global trade system is being quietly, but decisively, rebalanced.

If projections hold, Trump’s tariffs could generate trillions of dollars over the next decade, creating a windfall unlike anything Washington has seen in modern times. [Newsmax]
