Trump out here like “TARIFFS = MONEY PRINTER GO BRRR,” but let’s unpack the real tea, fam: That cash flow? It’s not magic. It’s YOUR wallet taking the hit.
THE FLEX:
Trump’s hyping tariff revenue like he just hit a 10x on a meme token—saying it’s a “win” for America.
And sure, technically the gov is bagging more dollars…
BUT WHO’S ACTUALLY PAYING?
U.S. importers. Aka your fav brands. Aka YOU.
Tariffs = higher import costs = price hikes for basic stuff.
Let’s break it down:
▫️ Groceries?
Eggs flying past $6/dozen.
New tariffs could lowkey sneak in an extra $185/year per fam.
That’s not “America First”—that’s “Your Pantry Last.”
▫️ Gas?
It’s chill now… but slap tariffs on oil and we’re looking at a possible 5% spike.
Say goodbye to your cheap road trips.
▫️ Inflation?
Slowing a bit, yeah. But your wallet? Still bleeding from the grocery aisle.

MARKETS ARE MOODY:
▫️ Stocks? Slipping.
▫️ Gold? Mooning (as usual when fear hits).
▫️ Wall Street? Literally holding its breath.
⸻
SO… WHO’S REALLY WINNING?
The government’s stacking tariff $$$,
but it’s giving major pickpocket energy.
You’re funding the “W” every time you swipe your card.
Tariffs might sound tough. But the cost? It’s real. And it’s yours.
STAY STRAPPED. STAY SHARP.
Don’t let the hype drain your bags.
