Trump’s Controversial Claim: America Won with Billions in Tariff Revenue; China is to Blame, Past Leaders Incompetent
Washington – In a recent post on the social media platform "Truth Social," former President Donald Trump claimed that the U.S. economy is experiencing "unprecedented inflation reduction" and that the country is receiving billions of dollars weekly in tariff revenue from exploitative countries. Published on April 7, 2025, Trump pointed to falling oil prices, reduced interest rates, and lower food costs, declaring, "There is no inflation!"
Weezharoz-Trump emphasized that despite a 34% increase in tariffs on Chinese imports, the U.S. continues to receive compensation from China and other allies.
He labeled China as the “biggest abuser in history,” claiming the country has benefited from the U.S. for decades and is now responding to his tariffs.
Trump criticized the economic policies of previous administrations, blaming them for the collapse of fair trade relations, stating that “incompetent leaders of the past allowed this disaster to happen.”
Economic experts have pointed out that Trump’s claim of “no inflation” contradicts official data from the U.S. Federal Reserve, which reports an inflation rate of about 3.2%.
The recent surge in U.S. tariff revenue has largely been attributed to escalating trade tensions with China and the European Union, with some analysts arguing that it is contributing to a slowdown in global economic growth.
Beijing’s response to Trump’s claims has not yet been released, but Chinese media have previously referred to the U.S.’s tariff policies as a tool to cover up internal economic weaknesses.
