Looks like the "dumpster fire check" isn't doing so great for American manufacturing - in fact, over 80,000 jobs were cut in the last year.

Merz Visits China Amid Growing Concerns Over Germany’s Expanding Trade Deficit German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has arrived in Beijing for his first official visit to China, accompanied by a significant business delegation, as Germany faces mounting concerns over a widening trade imbalance with its largest trading partner. In 2025, imports from China into Germany reached €170.6 billion, an 8.8% annual increase, while German exports to China fell by 9.7% to €81.3 billion. This growing deficit has raised alarm among German industry leaders, particularly in key sectors such as automotive, machinery, and chemicals. Merz stated before departure that Germany seeks a balanced, reliable, regulated, and fair partnership with China. However, analysts warn that Chinese state subsidies and currency practices may be distorting competition, contributing to what some are calling a new 'China shock' affecting not only Germany but the broader European Union. The issue is compounded by Europe’s rising production costs following the Covid-19 pandemic and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, while China has experienced deflation and industrial overcapacity. The visit comes at a delicate geopolitical moment. Merz is expected to encourage Beijing to use its influence over Moscow to help bring an end to the war in Ukraine. Meanwhile, Europe is navigating trade tensions with both China and the United States, as US tariff policies under President Donald Trump add further strain to global markets. German business groups are urging the government to address unfair competition and export controls on critical raw materials. Despite increasing calls within Europe for protective trade measures, Merz has emphasized that while Germany will continue to de-risk its economic exposure, fully decoupling from China would be a mistake.

“For 2025, the goods and services deficit decreased $2.1 billion, or 0.2 percent, from 2024.”

0.2%, not even 1%.

After all his unilateral capricious tariffs and reckless trade policies, he hasn’t moved the needle.

#GlobalTrade 2025: Vibes vs Data

#Trump: “U.S. #TradeDeficit down 78%. 2026 surplus.” (no source, no method)

U.S. stats: 2025 deficit still near highs. China's deficit is lowest in 20+ yrs.

#China: 2025 #TradeSurplus a record $1.2T.

Real question: Who do you trust?

Tariff Man Tumbles, Fumbles and Bumbles on Trade | Washington Spectator When it comes to economics, we know two things about Donald Trump. He is obsessed with the US trade deficit. And he thinks tariffs, or import taxes, will solve the trade deficit problem.

The gvt announced today that the US #tradedeficit was >$900 bil in 2025, one of the largest ever (in percentage terms). To understand why Trump's #tariff policy failed, check out my recent @washspectator.bsky.social piece. washingtonspectator.org/tariff-man-t...

In 2025, Trade Deficit in Goods Reached Record High

Trump said imports would go down with his tariffs.

"So far, the opposite has occurred,* the Times reported.

"U.S. imports grew last year, and the trade deficit in goods hit a record high, data released Thursday showed, as Mr. Trump’s policies scrambled trade but did not halt it."

U.S. Imports Grew in 2025, as Trump’s Tariffs Reshuffled Global Trade

The #TrumpTariffs were the magic bullet to eliminate the trade deficit at the expense other nations.
Reality: importers and consumers pay the tariffs and imports aren't declinlng.
#Trumponomics clearly isn't working.
Another #Trump disaster.

🇺🇸 Record trade gap despite tariffs reported in latest news: the U.S. goods deficit hit $1.24T in 2025, the biggest since records began in 1960. Prices aren’t lower, no tariff checks in sight, and the deficit continues to climb — so much for “America winning.” #TradeDeficit #Economy #Tariffs

What does this tell us?
Despite all the loud talk about “winning” on trade, the deficit keeps rising. Slogans don’t balance accounts. Economic reality doesn’t care about campaign rhetoric.
