You might remember all the Democrat fearmongering earlier this year about what President Trump's tariffs would do to the U.S. economy not to mention the federal government. We were promised that a "Trump crash" would take place in the economy and possibly even the government could collapse.
Senator Elizabeth Warren slammed Trump's tariff plans, predicting a market crash, possibly another Great Depression, lost jobs, lost homes, dogs and cats living together -- mass hysteria!
Two days ago. Elizabeth Warren on Trump's tariffs: Dumbest trade war in history. Millions of Americans will lose their jobs, savings, and homes. Will cause a recession that may take years to recover from.

Do these Dems ever get tired of being wrong and getting humiliated by reality? Apparently not.

From CNBC:
The U.S. government posted a surplus in June as tariffs gave an extra bump to a sharp increase in receipts, the Treasury Department said Friday.
With government red ink swelling throughout the year, last month saw a surplus of just over $27 billion, following a $316 billion deficit in May.
[...]
The government last posted a June surplus in 2017, during President Donald Trump's first term.
Increasing tariff collections are helping shore up the government finances.
Customs duties totaled about $27 billion for the month, up from $23 billion in May and 301% higher than June 2024. On an annual basis, tariff collections have totaled $113 billion, or 86% more than a year ago.
