#TrumpTariffs: Trade Shift or Trade War?

Between 2018 and 2020, President Trump imposed tariffs on hundreds of billions in imports — mostly from China — aiming to reduce the U.S. trade deficit and protect American industries.

What happened?

• Over $350B of Chinese goods were hit with tariffs.

• China retaliated, targeting U.S. agriculture.

• American manufacturers faced higher costs.

• The debate still rages: protection vs. price.

Whether you view it as a bold trade reset or a misfire with economic consequences, the #TrumpTariffs redefined global trade politics — and their impact is still felt today.

Fighting for Fair Trade — #TrumpTariffs

Trump didn’t start the trade war — he ended the surrender.

For decades, China took advantage of weak U.S. policies. Trump’s tariffs were a hardline defense of American jobs, manufacturing, and sovereignty.

The results?

• China was forced to the negotiating table.

• U.S. industries like steel got breathing room.

• Americans finally saw a president stand up to unfair trade.

Yes, there were short-term costs — but sometimes real leadership means taking the hit now to win later.

#TrumpTariffs: A Trade War That Hit Home

Trump’s tariffs were supposed to punish China — but in reality, American consumers, farmers, and small businesses paid the price.

Here’s what happened:

• U.S. importers faced higher costs, passed on to shoppers.

• Retaliation crushed U.S. soy and pork exports.

• Manufacturing jobs stayed flat, despite promises.

Protectionism may sound strong, but trade wars aren’t easy to win — and this one cost the U.S. billions in bailout funds and global trust.
