Trump’s tariffs have become his Vietnam

[the annoying thing]

The tariffs are not hard to analyze. The treasury took in $28B more from tariffs last month.

That is a miniscule number when we are taking about $337B in imports. It is not even 10%.

So where is the economic damage? Inflation has been stable. Unemployment is still just 4.2%.

The trade deficit is less than half than when Trump took office. From $131B in Jan to $60B in July.

The total stock market index(VTI) is up 11% year to date.

it would not matter if trump made it rain kurgans they would cry about it claiming they were a danger

All the smoke and mirrors cannot disprove the fact that as the US debt rises so will costs and inflation. There may be many officials responsible for the rising debt and subsequent costs as well as voters who elected officials who are allowing the debt to rise, so if anyone is at fault it is almost everyone except for those fighting to cut spending and waste.
