Trump Takes Victory Lap On China Tariff Win

President Trump Fires Back at Critics, Defends 145% Tariff as a Win for American Workers

In a bold and unapologetic interview Tuesday night, President Donald J. Trump doubled down on his hardline stance against Communist China—declaring that Beijing, not American families, will feel the sting of his new 145% import tariff.

“China probably will eat those tariffs,” Trump said. “At 145 percent, they basically can’t do much business with the U.S. anymore. They were robbing us blind—making a trillion dollars a year off our economy. That ends now.”

🔥 A Showdown Over U.S. Sovereignty

ABC’s Terry Moran tried to corner Trump, suggesting the tariffs would spike prices on essentials like electronics, clothing, and building materials. But Trump, as always, stood firm.

“You don’t know that,” Trump snapped back. “You don’t know whether or not China’s going to eat it.”

He’s betting that China will cave first—not American workers, retirees, or small business owners.

📉 Chinese Regime Scrambles Under Pressure

The Chinese Communist Party is already rattled. Their state-run economists are lashing out—labeling Trump’s policies “bullying” and “unfair.” But their panic says it all.

Zhao Chenxin, a deputy director in China’s central economic agency, claimed Trump’s tariffs go against “economic law” and “global trade rules.”

What they really mean: China is losing control—and Trump is winning.

🇺🇸 “America First” Is Back—and It’s Working

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told reporters that these tariffs are already hurting China’s bottom line while strengthening American industry.

“Over time, we will see that the Chinese tariffs are unsustainable for China,” Bessent said.

Trump’s trade policy is more than a headline—it’s a strategy to reclaim American manufacturing, restore economic independence, and stop foreign nations from profiting off U.S. weakness.

✅ What This Means for You

If you’re a hard-working American, a small business owner, a retired veteran, or someone sick of seeing our economy sold out to foreign interests—this is what real leadership looks like.

Trump’s tariff crackdown isn’t about raising prices—it’s about leveling the playing field, ending decades of unfair trade, and putting America First, again.
