🚨🚨 #TariffTruth 🚨🚨
🇺🇸 Trump’s Claim vs. What’s Actually Happening
Trump says tariffs are raking in record money 💰
He’s not wrong about increased tariffs bringing in revenue, especially with the new ones on China, steel, aluminum, and even more being proposed. But remember: it's American importers—not China—paying these tariffs, which can eventually hit consumers.
“Prices are going down,” he says — but that’s not the full picture 📉
Inflation did dip slightly in March, which is good news. Overall consumer prices fell 0.1%, thanks mostly to cheaper gas and used cars. But some essentials are still going up...
Grocery prices? Still rising. 🥚🍞
Despite what Trump said, groceries went up 0.5% in March. Eggs alone jumped to over $6 per dozen. And analysts warn that these new tariffs could add an extra $185/year to the average family’s grocery bill.
Gas is cheaper—for now. ⛽
Yes, gas prices fell and helped ease inflation. But new proposed tariffs on oil from Canada and Mexico could flip that. Some experts say we might see a 5% increase at the pump soon.
Core inflation is easing though. 📊
When you take out food and energy, core inflation is at its lowest since 2021. That’s a decent sign the Fed’s efforts are working—but it doesn’t mean everyone’s feeling relief just yet.
Markets are shaky. 📉📉
With Trump’s tariff talk heating up, Wall Street’s been jittery. Stocks are dipping, gold is rising, and investors are clearly bracing for impact.
---
So, yeah—Trump’s partly right about the numbers. But when you zoom in, it’s a lot more complicated. Some stuff is cheaper, but others—like food—are still climbing. And the long-term effects of these tariffs might be way bigger than they seem right now.#BinanceAlphaAlert
