flag Trump's claim of $18 trillion in tariff revenue is false; actual revenue is $236 billion, with projections of $2.3 trillion over ten years.

flag President Donald Trump's claim that tariffs generated $18 trillion in revenue is factually impossible, as federal data shows only $236 billion in tariff revenue through November 2025, with projections of about $2.3 trillion over the next decade. flag His assertion likely confuses tariff revenue with private investment pledges totaling $9.6 trillion, which are not government income and may not materialize. flag Trump has promised to use tariff funds for major initiatives like $2,000 dividend checks and tax cuts, but experts say the revenue is insufficient, with individual income taxes far exceeding tariff receipts. flag A potential Supreme Court ruling could also require refunds of up to $100 billion, further undermining the feasibility of his plans.
