If Trump’s tariffs are down 30%, does that mean the tariff strategy failed?

Yep 30% down since October 2025 . Trump said they would allow him to replace IRS and he said they would fund pay for Manufacturing. That is a big NO and NO. So now he will have to print more money or raise taxes even more. The tax breaks to rich , and making ICE bigger , and replacing fighters will eat all the Tariff money , which is not much.

They have failed badly , it was an elect me ploy

Where is my $2000 Tariff check?

IRS is still here

All of the above

IRS isn’t going anywhere, he tried things other presidents were too afraid of trying to see if it would work but didn’t work out as well as he thought it would but he isn’t afraid of trying new things to see what works, past presidents didn’t try anything different because of losing voters or looking bad and we were stuck in the same situation. Nothing ventured nothing gained basically. Same problem with most people, that’s why they don’t accomplish anything or become successful if you don’t try things

When the Supreme Court struck down his illegal tariffs before and real trade deal was completed, it meant that all those negotiations had to be paused and eventually restarted under a new set of rules. The last 14 months was plenty of time for new trade deals with willing partners among the medium powers and the US lost its leverage with the rest of the world who is recovering from losing the US market.

Don’t know much about how it works, but according to everything else he promised and didn’t deliver on, this is no different.
