I find it hard to believe that Americans believe that he is the voice of the working class. In what world is he and his group of billionaires representative for ordinary People?

šØ *Trumpās Trade War Fallout: Whoās Really Ripping Off America?* šØ
Donald Trump loves to say that āthe entire world is ripping us off,ā but the reality is his own policies ended up doing more harm to the American people than helping them. Letās break down the damage of his so-called *trade war*:
*Tariff Disaster šø* Trumpās *trade war with China* was meant to bring back American manufacturing jobs, but it didnāt work as planned. Instead, *U.S. consumers* and *farmers* ended up paying billions more for goods. And despite all that, *manufacturing jobs* didnāt magically return. All it did was raise prices for everyday products. š¤
*Farmers Crushed š* Chinaās *retaliatory tariffs* hit American farmers hard, especially in key areas like soybeans and pork. The result? Trump had to bail out farmers using *taxpayer money* to ease the pain. The very people he claimed to protect were the ones who paid the price for his trade policies. š¾
*Debt Explosion š°* Despite promising to *eliminate the national debt*, Trump added a *staggering $7.8 trillion* to it during his time in office. So much for being the fiscal conservative! This led to increased *government spending* and *deficit growth*, which future generations will be stuck paying for. š
*Jobs Still Outsourced š* His tariffs were supposed to keep jobs in America, but many companies continued to outsource production to *cheaper labor markets* overseas. Even Trumpās own products were *manufactured abroad*! It turns out that protectionist policies werenāt enough to stop the *global supply chain* from moving where it was most profitable. š
*Broken NATO Relations š* Trumpās approach to foreign policy was a mess. He attacked *NATO allies* and sought to build relationships with *dictators* instead. This *weakened U.S. global influence* and hurt Americaās standing on the world stage. š
*Trade Deficit Increased š* Despite all the tough talk, Trumpās trade deficit *actually grew* under his watch. The tariffs didnāt balance out the *imbalance in trade* that he promised to fix. In fact, the *U.S. ended up importing more* than it was exporting, contrary to his promises. š

*So Was His "America First" Policy Just a Political Scam?*
Trumpās *economic nationalism* was a failed experiment. Instead of strengthening the U.S., his policies led to a *weaker America*, *higher consumer prices*, and a growing *national debt*. So, was his "America First" slogan just a political *scam*? š¤
