Ben Shapiro calls Trump’s tariffs the largest tax increase on Americans in history that will decimate the economy, and one that stems from a complete misunderstanding of how international trade works and a misunderstanding of trade deficits. Shapiro notes that the only time in history that the US had... show more

No one has to like it, but calling it a tax is gross because it diminishes what taxes actually are, which is extortion with the threat of violence. I don’t have to buy a new Mercedes with a 30% markup. I can buy a Chevy. The market provides options. If I don’t buy the Mercedes no armed men are coming to my house to take me to jail. But if I don’t pay my taxes…

Here’s what could get more expensive with Trump’s new tariffs.

These anti-tariff people need to answer this question. If tariffs are so bad, then why do other countries do it, and it doesn't hurt them?

Ben Shapiro’s take misses the strategic necessity of tariffs in countering China’s predatory trade practices. The America First Investment Policy isn’t about “tax increases”—it’s about ending decades of economic surrender to foreign adversaries. Tariffs level the playing field, protect critical industries like semiconductors and AI, and force Beijing to stop exploiting U.S. markets. Since 2025, over $3 trillion in private investment has flooded into American manufacturing and tech, proving that strong trade policies attract real growth. Trade deficits under weak prior administrations hollowed out our industrial base, but Trump’s approach prioritizes domestic production, job creation, and national security. The 1984 tax treaty with China fueled their military rise—ending that dependency is long overdue. Realignment works.

Ben Shapiro’s theory sounds great in college debates, but Trump’s tariffs are about putting America first—not appeasing global elites.

Ben Shapiro is not America First and he is loyal to countries/companies that will be negatively affected by the tariffs.

Well one thing tnat is good to see is Ben isn’t totally taking the Party line. He’s giving an honest objective opinion. Then We have the Left who would hate anything Trump does even if it makes us all Billionaires. What WILL the Tariffs do? Way above my pay grade. I hope Ben is wrong though.

We know there will be some prices increase on certain goods. So, just buy other brands. He’s just stating this as if it’s a blanket tax. The more generalized ‘tax’ will be where China increases tariffs and Trump reciprocates. That will be harder to avoid price increases because China sends over lots of junk that we buy. So, endure it until more favorable options arise with more friendly trade partners.

Trump’s tariffs protect American jobs and industries not just trade deficits.

Trump's Tariffs are a Misguided Solution Trump argues that the world is screwing the US with unfair trade practices and that tariffs will level the playing field. But the truth is our trade deficits aren’t because of foreign cheating, they’re because of our uncompetitive economy

My friend, the great Thomas Sowell, on Pres. Trump's tariffs: "If you set off a worldwide trade war, that has a devastating history. Everybody loses because everybody follows suit, & all that happens is that you get a great reduction in international trade."

President Trump just revealed that he's MADE HISTORY with the trade deficit: "We cut it by 59% this year, our trade gap. It's the largest drop of a trade gap." "Think of it. It's the largest drop in history, the history of our country. 59%. Can you believe it?"

Excellent words from Eric Reid on the Butler trade: "History/time will pass on. He will go down as one of the great players in franchise history, but it was a difficult/sad/ugly ending. It's over now. That clarity is good for everybody."

.President Donald J. Trump: "You have other countries that are only there because of us... they have massive purchases from us, and we have deficits with them. And the tariffs have brought that back a long way. Our trade deficit is down 68% in one year. Think of that!"

BREAKING: In Michigan Trump just claimed that the Republican Tax bill is the “Greatest tax cut in history," then claims that if it doesn’t pass and Democrats get their way it will be a 58% tax Increase. He just made this all up. FACTS: His Tariffs are literally one of the biggest tax increase in history.

🇺🇸Trump’s Tariff Plan Explained: Destroy or Help The US Economy? Trump describes tariffs as his "favorite word." To understand the concept, think of it like this: Imagine you’re an accountant seeking business referrals. You meet someone who sells auto insurance, and you agree to exchange referrals equally. A month later, you’ve given them five referrals, but they haven’t given you any. You now have a "referral deficit" while they have a "referral surplus." This is similar to a trade deficit versus a trade surplus. Now, on a larger scale, the U.S. has a global trade deficit of $1.1 trillion, meaning it has provided $1.1 trillion more business to other countries than it has received. China, on the other hand, has a trade surplus of $823 billion, receiving more business than it gives. Trump’s use of tariffs is an attempt to address these imbalances and renegotiate trade deals. Tariffs are tools that governments can use to create leverage in trade negotiations. Historically, tariffs have been used as a form of taxation on imports, dating back to the Roman Empire and becoming prominent in the mercantilist policies of the 16th and 18th centuries. Economist Adam Smith, known for his book Wealth of Nations, argued that tariffs can disrupt free trade, but he noted 2 exceptions: protecting industries critical to national security and counteracting tariffs imposed by other nations. These points remain relevant in modern trade discussions. When examining trade surpluses and deficits globally, China leads with a significant surplus, while countries like the U.S., UK, and India experience deficits. Tariffs can serve as leverage to balance these relationships and ensure fair trade practices. Understanding tariffs and trade negotiations is key to grasping how governments seek to protect their economies and industries in a globalized world. Source: Patrick Bet-David , @ValuetainmentTV

Americans just dodged a major bullet. We were staring down the largest tax increase in US history. Republicans passed one of the most consequential economic bills in modern history that will drive real growth not just for Wall Street but for Americans living paycheck to paycheck.
