Trump: Without Tariffs, and all of the TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS we have already taken in, our Country would be completely destroyed

Donald J. Trump

@realDonaldTrump · Aug 31, 2025

Without Tariffs, and all of the TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS we have already taken in, our Country would be completely destroyed, and our military power would be instantly obliterated. In a 7 to 4 Opinion, a Radical Left group of judges didn’t care, but one Democrat, Obama appointed, actually voted to save our Country. I would like to thank him for his Courage! He loves and respects the U.S.A.

Sorry folks, I know your feelings may have gotten hurt, but time to pull up your big boy/girl/whatever Pants, and live your life while the country is free to do so... once Trump is gone, and a dem takes back control, WW3 starts, why? because that's the new world order plan, and the democrats, and some republicans, are pushing for it, trump temporarily stopped/slowed it down... it's why they tried assasinating him..

Trump claimed earlier this month that “trillions of dollars are being taken in on tariffs” and his levies have “not caused inflation, or any other problems for America, other than massive amounts of CASH pouring into our Treasury’s coffers.”

The U.S. has collected $142 billion from tariff revenue so far this fiscal year, which ends in September, according to Treasury Department data released earlier this month.

Since Trump’s tariffs took effect in April, his levies have generated about $96 billion in revenue.

Customs duties accounted for
$27 billion in revenue for June
$22 billion in May
$16 billion in April

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told MSNBC earlier this month he expects tariffs would generate $300 billion annually, noting “there’s a chance that could be higher” in 2026.

The Tax Foundation projected Trump’s tariffs would raise about $2.5 trillion over the next decade, even as the levies will likely raise the price of common goods and taxes for the average household by nearly $1,300 in 2025 and $1,700 in 2026.

Meanwhile, the trade war effects are only getting started in the heartland. China has not ordered any Sept soybeans and many grain elevators in the Midwest are not taking any new crop beans. They are piling beans outside and without China, there's nowhere to send a bumper crop of soybeans. Soybean futures are way down, heading back to the abysmal lows last seen under Trump 1.0. US farmers will be on the bailout dole again, just like last time Trump made a mess. (Listen to the audio, guarantee you the farmer voted for Trump.)

The other countries raised their tariffs back then. Now countries like Canada, UK, maybe India, others are offering to drop their tariffs and still being tariff-ed by US. There has got to be differences between now tariff reaction and then that would make this outcome somewhat different.

Somehow I suspect that Bessent did not receive legal advice on that opinion.

That was an US Act. Without checking, that means that it was passed by Congress.

What similarities does that have with Trump making an executive decision about tariffs? Congress was not even consulted. Pretty much none, I reckon.

But people are allowed to introduce strawmen I guess. If that's the best authority, I'd like to see what the others are.

The last few sentences in this last para is interesting.
"As the economists predicted, the high tariff proved to be a disaster. Even before its enactment, U.S. trading partners began retaliating by raising their tariff rates, which froze international trade. The tariff fight solidified Hoover’s ties with Republican regulars, but it shredded his standing among his party’s progressives. Most of the progressive Republican senators who had campaigned for Hoover in 1928 wound up endorsing Franklin D. Roosevelt for president in the next election. Nor did the tariff sit well with the voters. In 1932 they turned the majority in both houses over to the Democrats, by large margins. The voters also made clear their disdain for the Smoot-Hawley tariff by booting both Reed Smoot and Willis Hawley out of office that year. "

The difference this time around I suspect, will be that only Republican candidates who back Trump will be allowed to stand for election; and soon also most likely, only registered MAGA Republicans will be allowed to vote.
