I have seen a $15B number for April for tariff revs.
Then tariff rates were reduced by Trump. So probably won’t be matched, unless the 90 pause expires and he restores those levels.
Even 10B/month is peanuts when the deficit is 1.8T, and the reduction in tariff totals is already well under 10B/mo.
As was always true, tariffs succeed only if they fail. Their purpose is to drive manufacturing back to the US — ***AND*** — generate govt revenue.
If they succeed and manufacturing returns, then tariff revenue disappears. If manufacturing does not return, then they fail. The price of the item gets high. And probably not bought anymore.
So then no revenue.
Tariffs only work if they are on absolute necessities. Like oil. People everywhere have to have oil. Even if there is a high tariff on it. But the idea of oil is NOT to import it so you are collecting a tariff.
Globalist claptrap. Your coco handlers are happy.
