How many times do we have to run this play before people catch on? The “experts” said tariffs would wreck the U.S. economy. They guaranteed it. They mocked Trump, compared him to Herbert Hoover, and predicted a new Great Depression.
Well—cue the laugh track—because those same tariffs are now projected to save the U.S. treasury $4 trillion over the next decade. That’s not fringe math, it’s straight out of the Congressional Budget Office. The same CBO the left used to wave around like the Bible when it suited them.
So once again, Trump wins, and the “credentialed clowns” lose.
The Prophets of Doom
Remember when economists lined up on CNBC, Bloomberg, and the editorial pages of The New York Times to scream that Trump’s tariff strategy would “destroy American jobs,” “raise prices,” and “trigger recession”?
-
Paul Krugman—Mr. Nobel, Mr. Never Right—warned in 2018 that tariffs would devastate the economy. Wrong.
-
The University of Chicago Booth School survey of economists showed overwhelming agreement that tariffs would reduce welfare. Wrong.
-
The IMF, World Bank, and the usual alphabet-soup of “global experts” all cried Armageddon. Wrong.
They were so confident, so smug, so absolutely certain. And now, they look like weathermen who predicted snow in July and a hurricane in Phoenix—simultaneously.
Part II: Reality Bites—Tariffs Are Working
Here’s what’s really happening:
-
Revenue Surge: Tariffs are pulling in billions monthly, enough that the CBO says deficits could shrink by $3.3 trillion, plus $700 billion in lower interest costs. That’s $4 trillion in savings.
-
Credit Boost: Even the ratings agencies—hardly MAGA cheerleaders—admit tariffs helped stabilize U.S. credit. S&P Global literally affirmed America’s AA+ rating thanks to tariff revenue.
-
Manufacturing Revival: Economists like Gad Levanon have said tariffs can strengthen American industry, especially with automation changing labor costs.
In short: tariffs are a two-punch combo. They raise revenue to fix Washington’s spending hole and they put American industry back on its feet.
Part III: The Idiots’ Track Record
Let’s take stock of the “expert” batting average:
-
COVID predictions: Millions were told to prepare for mass death unless we masked toddlers and locked down businesses. Wrong.
-
Vaccine “safety”: “Safe and effective” they said. Tell that to people with myocarditis.
-
Climate Change hysteria: Ice caps gone by 2013, cities underwater by 2020, snow “a thing of the past.” Wrong.
And tariffs? They swore up and down Trump was Hoover 2.0. Yet the opposite is happening. Not only are tariffs not collapsing the economy, they’re stabilizing the fiscal mess left by Biden’s inflation.
At this point, the “experts” are less reliable than a Magic 8-Ball.
Part IV: The New Day in Tariffs
The biggest irony? Even Democrats quietly admit tariffs work—because they kept most of Trump’s tariffs in place when Biden took office. If they were really as destructive as claimed, wouldn’t the first order of business have been to kill them? Instead, Biden clung to them like a life raft while drowning in his inflation disaster.
Tariffs have gone from “job-killing taxes” to “patriotic economic tools.” Not because the Left learned economics, but because Trump proved them wrong in real time.
John Lott Jr. put it bluntly: “Hey experts—admit how you got Trump’s tariffs so wrong.”
But don’t expect an apology. These people never admit error. They just pivot to the next lie.
Part V: Tariffs as America’s Double-Whammy
This is the genius of Trump’s policy: tariffs aren’t just about punishing foreign competitors. They’re about restructuring the American economy to serve Americans first.
-
Whammy #1: Fiscal Relief. Instead of endless deficit spirals, tariffs generate real revenue—without gutting working families with income tax hikes.
-
Whammy #2: Industrial Power. They level the playing field, forcing foreign producers to stop dumping cheap junk while encouraging domestic factories to expand.
That’s a one-two punch Biden could never throw—because his handlers took calls from Wall Street and the CCP.
Conclusion: Trump Vindicated, Experts Humiliated
So let’s tally it: tariffs are working, the CBO has receipts, and even the credit markets say “thank you.” Meanwhile, the “expert class” is left mumbling excuses.
They told us tariffs would bring ruin. Instead, they brought relief. They told us Trump was Hoover reincarnated. Instead, he’s the guy shoring up America’s fiscal foundation.
The lesson? Every time you hear the “experts” sound the alarm, assume the opposite. Because if the last decade has proven anything, it’s this: Trump was right, and they were wrong. Again.
