Trump said tariffs would reduce the trade deficit. Instead, it hit a record high in 2025.
It's a good thing that trade deficits aren't actually a national emergency.
Like all policies, Trump's tariffs ought to be evaluated by their consequencesβrather than by their intentions or the peculiar preferences of the president's economic advisors.
After the first year, the conclusion is inevitable: Trump promised a lower trade deficit, and the opposite has occurred.

The ACLU, long leery of the Second Amendment, joins the NRA in urging SCOTUS to uphold pot users' gun rights
"We see this as an important civil liberties issue," says a lawyer for the American Civil Liberties Union.
"There is no reason that someone should be banned from exercising their Second Amendment right simply because they use marijuana, especially when that logic is not being applied in the same way to other substances such as alcohol."

Epstein survivor tells CBS News how she was trafficked, and assaulted
Juliette Bryant says not long after meeting Jeffrey Epstein, he assaulted her, and she realized, "this is not a modeling opportunity, I've been kidnapped."
βAs the airplane took off, Epstein started touching me forcibly in between my legs, and I freaked out. I realized, this is not a modeling opportunity, I've been kidnapped. They whisked me away to the island. I was stuck there. They never arranged any modeling opportunities, I was completely conned."
