S&P 500 recorded its largest rise since the credit crunch of 2008, stock indexes posted biggest one day gain, the dollar gained in the global currency market 24 hours ago. I commend President Donald Trump for listening to stakeholders, especially Elon Musk, to pulse on all the reciprocal tariffs for 90 days except that of China’s tariffs hiked to 125%. Although China has fired back with 84% tariff on American imports, the two nations would eventually come to a deal. Donald Trump is not as daft as African leaders who don’t understand negotiation. Donald Trump is a president so different yet easy to understand and work with. His economic policies are reasonable and effective; more importantly so much better than the democrats.
I agree with Donald J Trump that America is the most exploited nation in the world — shortchanged by the deep state as well as other nations around the world who parasitically sap America’s resources in commercial exploitation.
The United States remains the largest consumer economy in the world, with Americans spending an astonishing $20 trillion annually. Despite this immense consumer power, the nation has historically paid disproportionately high tariffs compared to countries like China and Japan—a practice that many view as exploitation of America's economic strength except many democrats. That’s why TRUMPONOMICS prefers to address this exploitative imbalance through
tariff policies. By urging other nations to pay higher tariffs, he aimed to create a more equitable balance of trade.
Here is the U.S. imports from key trading partners and the tariff differences:
China: $462.62 billion
- U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods: Up to 34% (including baseline and reciprocal tariffs).

President Trump’s business acumen and deep understanding of economic dynamics had driven this tariff hike policies, which are already yielding significant results. Scores of international companies are now shifting production to the U.S., bringing massive investments and creating thousands of jobs for American workers.

This is TRUMPONOMICS in action. It will definitely weaken China’s economic growth opportunities as the movement towards America is growing due to lower corporate taxes, better access to funds and cheaper labor and the high tariffs for China’s exports. The ripple effects of these investments will be profound— creating thousands of jobs in America, strengthening supply chains, revitalizing the stock market and boosting domestic innovation.
Beyond the economic benefits, these policies challenge nations and corporations to reconsider their dependence on American consumers and market access.
Yet, amidst these gains, opposition remains fierce. Trump’s detractors, including habitual critics and political operatives funded by the establishment, often dismiss the policy's successes. Some argue the tariffs create tension in international relations, while others campaign against Trump’s approach solely due to political bias.
Trump is winning with his tariff policy, proving that short-term challenges often pave the way for long-term gains.
In the end, American consumers remain the lifeblood of the global economy, and foreign nations, despite potential retaliations, cannot afford to alienate this powerhouse. As businesses rush to invest in America to avoid tariffs, the U.S. strengthens its position as an economic giant, achieving unparalleled benefits for its workforce and industries.
China will sit up by force or lose billions in America’s consumer goods. China would not fight the tide successfully. China should join in the investment race to have a share in America’s consumer economy. America is the biggest economy in the world. China can not win all the time. The country had trade surplus under Joe Biden. The music has changed.
This investment race underscores the success of President Trump’s tariff policies, which aims at revitalizing American industries and creating opportunities for workers. While critics may continue to oppose these measures, the results speak for themselves. The U.S. is solidifying its position as an economic powerhouse, and the benefits of these policies will be felt for generations to come.
