“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.

Meme: (Text) Adds tariffs to reduce trade deficit. (Text) Tariffs increase cost of imports, trade deficit widens. (Image) 20250416 Cartoon by Michael de Adder, courtesy CagleCartoons.com. World leaders are taking turns playing chess against Trump, while Trump plays Twister. One leaders says “Trump is not playing 3-D chess”. (Background) The goods and services trade gap expanded from the prior month to $70.3 billion, Commerce Department data showed Feb 19, 2026. The shortfall culminated in a full-year deficit of $901.5 billion, still one of the largest in data back to 1960.

The general failure that is Trump.

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."
#TradeDeficit
So American small businesses like mine, who import, are paying more this year than ever, yet still this.
Thank you, wannabe #kingtrump; Mr. King of failed businesses for all you do /S

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

Seems somebody woefully misinformed, and the dbags in Congress who allowed this to happen, put the entire US economy into a recession sans AI overspending based on naked idiotic arrogance. Read a fing book, preferably Intro Economics. #tradedeficit
President Trump claimed the U.S. trade deficit has fallen by 78% due to tariffs, stating it will soon turn positive, though official data shows the deficit has actually increased.

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.
