The trade deficit was down 0.2% in 2025, not down ‘78%’

Trump has for years highlighted the trade deficit – the difference between the value of US imports and exports – as a supposed example of how the US is being “ripped off” by other countries.

“THE UNITED STATES TRADE DEFICIT HAS BEEN REDUCED BY 78% BECAUSE OF THE TARIFFS BEING CHARGED TO OTHER COMPANIES AND COUNTRIES,” the all-caps post began.

The next morning, though, the Bureau of Economic Analysis revealed the actual 2025 trade deficit in goods and services. It was nearly identical to the 2024 deficit, down just 0.2% — nowhere close to Trump’s professed “78%” decline. And the trade deficit in goods, the items subject to Trump’s sweeping global tariffs, was up 2.1% compared to 2024.

Trump’s Wednesday post was also inaccurate in suggesting his tariffs are paid by foreign countries. Tariff payments are made by US importers, not foreign exporters, and those importers often pass on some of their costs to consumers. While foreign exporters may sometimes drop their prices to try to keep their products competitive, various  analyses have found that the overwhelming majority of the costs of the tariffs Trump has imposed this term are being covered by a combination of US businesses and US consumers.


Economic growth in fourth-quarter 2025 was 1.4%, not ‘5.6%’


The Bureau of Economic Analysis on Friday released another key set of figures — estimates on real gross domestic product (GDP) growth. These figures, too, were far from the number Trump had been touting.

Trump told the World Economic Forum in late January that “fourth-quarter growth is projected to be 5.4%, far greater than anybody other than myself and a few others had predicted.”

Then, in an early-February interview with NBC, he made it sound like 5.6% growth had already been achieved, saying, “I’m very proud of it: 5.6%. You know, we have a GDP of 5.6 despite a shutdown.”

The figures released Friday show just how far from reality his “5.6%” claim was. The economy actually grew at an annualized rate of just 1.4% in the fourth quarter of 2025, much slower than the 4.4% growth in the third quarter of 2025.

Everybody knows Trumps relation with %% calculation by now. But it sounds good for his never fact checking followers of course.


And what of Trump’s vague claim from a speech on the economy Thursday in Georgia, that “our country was dead” a year ago under former President Joe Biden, but “now we have the hottest country”?

The US economy grew at just 2.2% in 2025, new full-year figures showed — lower than in every year of the Biden administration and every year of the first Trump administration other than 2020, when the Covid-19 pandemic hit.

Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are now requesting another half-Trillion-dollar increase in the Pentagon’s corpulent and corn-fed budget. This would bring the war machine’s annual purse to $1.5 Trillion (and yes, “Trillion” should always be written with a capital “T” because it’s a f'ing insane number for a “defense” budget).

- The Pentagon is the largest money-laundering operation the world has ever seen. Tax dollars are taken, rinsed in a big washing machine called “National Defense,” and then spit out into the pockets of bloodthirsty war profiteering contractors.

The Pentagon has failed 8 straight audits — meaning it has never successfully been audited. A few years back it became widely known that the Pentagon had $21 Trillion of unaccounted-for financial adjustments. Then in 2019, they had $35 Trillion of unaccounted-for adjustments just in that single year. While they tried to claim it was merely poor bookkeeping.

Former Defense Secretary Robert Gates once stated that he couldn’t even figure out how many people worked in any given Pentagon department. Meaning, the Pentagon is only moderately aware of who works there.
But by all means, let’s give this gargantuan death machine another half-Trillion dollars.
