“No, That Wasn’t a Trade Deal — And Tariffs Are Just Taxes”

In this entry in my video message series, I tackle the dangerous lies and economic gaslighting around international trade and tariffs.From the myth of a “new” U.S.-U.K. trade agreement to the reality of how tariffs raise your grocery bill, I break down what’s really happening — and what’s not. The Trump regime and its enablers are pushing a fantasy where deals appear instantly, tariffs are free, and deficits mean theft. It’s not just dishonest — it’s economically illiterate.🔎 What I cover in this video:* There was no trade deal with the U.K. — just a photo op* Trade agreements take years, not 90 days* Tariffs are taxes — and you are paying them* Emotional trauma isn’t an economic policy* This isn’t Wakanda, and trade isn’t magicThis video brings clarity to how trade really works — and why the Trump narrative is designed to make you angry and confused, not informed.📺 Watch now✊🏾 We need economic truth, not MAGA fairytales.#TradeTruth #TariffsAreTaxes #TheFutureTodayAndTomorrow #EconomicReality #NoFakeDeals #ProDemocracyThanks for reading!
