Despite heavy criticism, Trump’s economic policies are showing real progress.
-
National Debt: Debt rose just $37 billion under Trump from Jan–May 2025, compared to $478 billion under Biden during the same period in 2024.
-
Fiscal Discipline: Targeted budget cuts and stronger revenue helped reduce debt service needs, even amid global and political challenges.
-
Tariffs on China: Trump’s 145% tariffs triggered limited retaliation but forced China back to the table—now exempting $40 billion in U.S. goods, signaling a shift in trade dynamics.
These results suggest a stronger, more resilient U.S. economy under Trump’s leadership.
