DOGE v. US Economy

🔴 UPDATE: April 1, 2025
Trump’s ‘Liberation Day’ Tariffs to Slam into Effect, Threatening Jobs, Prices, and Global Trade

Donald Trump has officially declared April 2 “Liberation Day”—not for the American people, but for the corporate oligarchs who stand to profit as he launches a full-blown trade war. Effective tomorrow Trump’s sweeping new tariff regime will slap double-digit import taxes on foreign goods under the guise of “economic reciprocity.” But in reality, it’s American workers, families, and small businesses who will suffer the blowback.

Key Developments:

• The White House confirmed the tariffs are going into effect, with new levies as high as 25% on a wide range of imported goods from countries including China, Canada, and Mexico.

• Trump aides have floated proposals to impose tariffs on “most imports” across sectors—an escalation that could reshape global trade and spike consumer prices across the board.

• Economists warn of serious consequences: retaliatory tariffs, supply chain shocks, and price hikes that hit American consumers hardest, especially in agriculture, manufacturing, and retail.

• Critics have slammed the move as a political stunt designed to rally Trump's base before Wisconsin’s April elections—weaponizing the economy for electoral gain.

The Real Story: Who Wins and Who Pays the Price?
This isn’t about “leveling the playing field.” It’s about rigging the game for the oligarchs.
Multinational corporations that can shift production offshore will absorb the impact and pass on the cost. But American farmers, small manufacturers, and working families? They’re the ones getting crushed—again.

Trump is betting he can spin the pain as patriotism. But this isn’t sacrifice—it’s sabotage.

🔍 Why This Matters:
This is the second time in just weeks that the Trump regime has unleashed a reckless economic policy with little regard for long-term damage. The result: rising prices, global instability, and a growing list of allies alienated by unilateral economic warfare.
This isn’t leadership—it’s looting dressed up in populist slogans.

🚨 The Bottom Line:
Trump’s ‘Liberation Day’ isn’t about freedom. It’s about freeing the oligarchs to cash in while everyday Americans are forced to pay the price.
If the administration succeeds in triggering another global trade war, it won’t be corporate America that buckles. It’ll be the families already living paycheck to paycheck—sacrificed, once again, to serve the robber barons.
