He already is fixing what is wrong. Border crossings are down by a massive 95%. Thank you so much, President Trump.
Illegals aren't gone. And the ones that are, are banking on idiot Democrats to get them back in. Employment and wages will increase as more and more companies are starting up in our country again. Inflation has stopped surging, and is headed downward. Gas prices are a good example, and they are just getting started. And the democrats have affordable eggs again.
Trump said other countries are cheating us but provided no evidence.
What’s the evidence of cheating?
The White House didn’t provide any evidence.
the White House’s formula for calculating tariff rates leaned on how much of a trade imbalance a country has with the US, not on evidence of cheating.
Our analysis of the 10 countries with the highest announced tariff rates on April 2 showed they are largely poor and small – and it is these
factors, rather than unfair trade practices, that made them susceptible to the highest rates. Such countries export the resources they have and are too small and too poor, or both, to buy much from the United States.
One could argue that Trump “cheated” in recent weeks by placing new
tariffs on Canada and Mexico, reneging on the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement that he negotiated during his first term. That agreement set the trade rules among the three countries, and it did not allow the extra tariffs Trump imposed on both.
Madagascar, an island nation off Africa’s mainland, “has roughly 80 percent of the global supply of vanilla”, Burkhart said. “The US cannot produce vanilla, but needs it in foodstuffs, so purchases it. Madagascar is a relatively poor country, so it cannot make up in purchases what it makes in exported vanilla.”
Saint Pierre and Miquelon, a French territory off the coast of Canada, “exported a massive halibut catch to the US in 2024 as part of a territorial fisheries dispute”, Burkhart said. But with only 5,500 people, the island territory is “so small that it hardly purchases anything from the US”.
Lesotho, a country landlocked by South Africa, “exports diamonds and textiles and doesn’t import many expensive capital- and technology-intensive US goods” “Why should its trade with the US be balanced?”
