Tariffs, Lies, and Delusions: The Real Deficit Is in the Truth

Here’s what the current President just posted: “Shockingly, the Democrat controlled CBO just announced that the Tariffs will be reducing the Deficit by at least $2.8 Trillion Dollars. Too bad this information couldn’t have been released earlier, it would have kept people from knowingly saying untruths.” Let’s unpack the REAL untruths: • The CBO is not Democrat-controlled. It’s nonpartisan. Calling it partisan just because it didn’t praise you loud enough is dishonest and embarrassing. • Yes, the CBO said your tariffs might reduce the deficit by $2.8 trillion over a decade. But they also said your tariffs will slow economic growth, raise inflation, and cut Americans’ purchasing power. • And while you parade around screaming “savings,” your OWN “One Big Beautiful Bill” ADDS $2.4 trillion to the deficit. So no, Mr. President—you didn’t just save America. You shook it down for spare change, set it on fire, and blamed someone else for the smoke. And to Congress: Stop clapping like trained seals every time he posts a lie in all caps. You look ridiculous. You sound ridiculous. And the country sees it. You want to be remembered for honesty? Then tell the WHOLE truth. Not just the part that makes your fragile figurehead feel important. Because right now? The only thing more inflated than prices is the President’s ego. And the deficit you really need to worry about is the one between the facts—and the fantasy you keep feeding him. Do better. Or get replaced in 2026!
