Despite short-term challenges, Trump's tariffs are restoring American prosperity. By targeting Canada, Mexico, and China to stop fentanyl, as Commerce Secretary Lutnick emphasizes, they protect lives and jobs. His future plans to reform labor laws, end DEI, and reduce regulations will also boost workforce flexibility, spur job creation, and support economic growth for American workers.
Trump's tariffs have already devastated the US economy, and this will worsen if they remain unchanged. Even his former advisers, like Stephen Moore, have called him out, predicting a volatile economy with sinking consumer confidence and poor jobs reports. Tariffs raise prices and burden consumers, the vast majority of whom have expressed fears over an incoming recession and eroding prosperity unless the president makes a U-turn.
