The establishment media is at it again, Patriots. The Wall Street Journal editorial board made the shocking claim last week that "You're Paying 90% of Trump's Tariffs," but a closer examination reveals this narrative is built on fundamentally flawed methodology from the New York Federal Reserve.
President Trump's tariff policies have been under constant attack from globalist economists and their media allies since day one of his first term. Now, three weeks into his second presidency, they're doubling down with misleading statistics designed to turn Americans against the very policies that are bringing jobs back to our shores.
The Numbers Don't Add Up
The New York Fed's study, which the Journal breathlessly promoted, uses a methodology so flawed it would make a freshman economics student blush. The analysis fails to account for the dynamic effects of tariffs on supply chains, domestic production increases, and the strategic negotiating power these trade tools provide America in dealing with adversaries like China.
What the study conveniently ignores is how tariffs incentivize domestic manufacturing, create American jobs, and force foreign competitors to absorb costs to remain competitive in our market. When companies move production back to America to avoid tariffs entirely, consumers benefit from locally-made products and the jobs that come with them.
"The deep state's economic 'experts' have been wrong about everything from inflation to energy independence. Why should we trust their tariff calculations now?"
America First Economics Work
Trump's first-term tariff policies proved successful in revitalizing American manufacturing and bringing China to the negotiating table. The current administration's expanded tariff strategy is already showing results, with companies announcing plans to relocate production facilities back to American soil.
The Wall Street Journal's reliance on bureaucratic federal reserve calculations exposes their true allegiance – not to American workers, but to the globalist economic order that shipped our jobs overseas for decades.
Patriots, don't let the fake news media gaslight you about tariffs. President Trump's America First trade policies are working exactly as intended, protecting American workers and rebuilding our industrial base. The question isn't whether tariffs cost money – it's whether we're finally willing to invest in American prosperity over globalist profits.
