The Real Reason Trump Wants Tariffs Might Surprise You!
Description: In this episode of Watchdog on Wall Street, Chris unpacks what might really be driving Donald Trump’s renewed push for tariffs—and it's not about bringing jobs home. It looks more like a desperate attempt to raise revenue in a broken system where no one will cut spending.
 Here’s what you’ll hear:
  • Why Trump’s “tariff rebates” and new fees may be a stealth plan to tackle the $37 trillion debt
  • How Congress’s refusal to cut spending may have forced Trump’s hand
  • Why tariff revenue is just a hidden tax on the American people
  • What the patent fee proposal reveals about the administration’s revenue desperation
  • And why none of it will work unless the money is actually used to reduce the deficit
  •  We’re being taxed without calling it a tax—and most Americans don’t even realize it.
