The liberal media's favorite talking point about President Trump's tariff policy just got completely demolished by hard economic facts, proving once again that the establishment will lie about anything to attack America First policies.
For years, Democrats and their media allies have pushed the false narrative that American consumers bear nearly all the costs of tariffs - specifically claiming we pay 96% of the burden. This lie has been used relentlessly to attack Trump's successful trade war with China and his current plans to restore American manufacturing dominance.
But new economic analysis is shattering this propaganda, revealing that foreign exporters and producers actually absorb significant portions of tariff costs through reduced prices and profit margins. The real-world data shows that when tariffs are implemented, overseas manufacturers often cut their prices to maintain market access, meaning they eat the costs - not American families.
The Deep State's Favorite Economic Myth
Why would the establishment push this lie so aggressively? Simple - because Trump's tariff strategy actually works, and they can't stand admitting it. His first-term trade policies brought manufacturing jobs back to America, forced China to negotiate, and strengthened our economic independence.
"The globalists hate tariffs because they protect American workers and expose their decades of selling out our country to foreign competitors," one trade expert noted.
This debunking comes at the perfect time as President Trump implements his second-term trade agenda. While legacy media continues fear-mongering about tariff costs, the reality is that smart trade policy puts America first and makes foreign competitors pay their fair share.
The question patriots should be asking: if tariffs are so harmful to Americans, why are Democrats and corporate globalists so desperate to lie about them? The answer reveals everything about who really benefits from the current rigged system - and it's not everyday Americans.
