Despite Donald Trump's claims of "historic trade wins," economic indicators suggest his trade war is harming the US economy. Job growth has plummeted, inflation is rising, and economic growth is slowing. Trump's tariffs, projected to cost US households $2,400 by 2025, are overwhelmingly disapproved of by Americans. While some companies have announced increased US investment, experts question the long-term viability of Trump's approach, suggesting his trade policies are causing more harm than good and may be ultimately unsuccessful in reviving US manufacturing.
