As Trump's tariffs take shape, is America really winning?

(NPR) When it comes to tariffs, President Trump is clear: America is winning.

As his administration imposes sweeping tariffs across the world, President Trump argues the import taxes will make America "great" and "rich", making the country once again the "most respected country anywhere in the world", while ushering in a "golden age."

But the reality so far is proving to be different.

Tariffs are sparking intense uncertainty in the U.S. and around the world — and it's yet unclear how it will all end.

the ugly ones that calls themselves the magas aka GQP refuse to tell the truth. We are currently in a recession and the rate the USA is going with this effed up government run by the effed up GQP, before the years out, Depression.

It seems like it never has failed in recent times. The Republican party effs up the economy and the Democrats cleans it up.

Rinse and repeat.
