DOGE v. US Economy
🔴 UPDATE: March 3, 2025
The Trump administration is launching a full-scale trade war, imposing 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico, effective March 4. Trump claims the move will pressure both countries to curb fentanyl trafficking and illegal immigration, but economists warn it will cripple U.S. supply chains, spike consumer prices, and escalate global economic instability.
🚨 Key Developments:
25% Tariffs Imposed – All imports from Canada and Mexico will face a blanket 25% tariff, except for Canadian energy exports, which will be taxed at 10%.
Retaliation from Canada & Mexico – Canada is imposing $100 billion in counter-tariffs, while Mexico is preparing similar retaliatory measures.
Markets in Freefall – The S&P 500 and Nasdaq both dropped sharply on fears that Trump’s tariffs will trigger inflation and recession.
Expanding the Trade War – Trump also doubled tariffs on Chinese imports, raising rates from 10% to 20%, citing China’s alleged failure to curb fentanyl shipments.
🔍 Why This Matters:
Inflation Set to Rise – Higher tariffs mean higher prices on essential goods, worsening the cost-of-living crisis for American families.
Supply Chains Under Attack – U.S. businesses that rely on imports from Canada and Mexico will face severe disruptions, raising costs and slowing production.
Global Trade Chaos – Trump’s reckless trade war risks destabilizing North American markets, alienating key allies, and pushing the U.S. economy toward recession.
🚨 The Bottom Line: Trump’s tariffs are economic self-sabotage—punishing U.S. consumers, provoking retaliation from key trading partners, and sending markets into turmoil. The administration is willing to tank the economy to score political points, proving that DOGE’s mission isn’t efficiency—it’s destruction.
