The mainstream media, with its 98% anti-Trump venom, won't tell you the truth: President Donald Trump's tariffs are obliterating China's economic machine while sparking a glorious revival of American industry. The Geller Report (April 30, 2025) nailed it—China's manufacturing is "getting hammered," and the proof is in the numbers, the layoffs, and the desperation in Beijing.

Trump's bold 145% tariffs, rolled out in April 2025, are choking China's export-driven economy, forcing their factories to their knees while American workers reclaim their rightful place as the backbone of a resurgent industrial heartland. This is America First in action, and it's working—big league.
China's economy is crumbling under Trump's tariff sledgehammer, and the data doesn't lie. The Geller Report cites China's purchasing managers' index (PMI) plummeting to 49.0 in April 2025, the lowest since December 2023, signalling a sharp manufacturing contraction (anything below 50 is a death knell). Factories in export hubs like Yiwu and Dongguan are shuttering or slashing shifts, with millions facing layoffs or underemployment. X posts from April 28, 2025, paint a grim picture: overtime is gone, plants are on weeks-long pauses, and hiring freezes are spreading like wildfire. Beijing's own National Bureau of Statistics admits the slowdown, blaming "sharp changes" in the global economy—code for Trump's tariffs biting hard.
Trump's 145% tariffs on Chinese goods, with some hitting 245% on critical products, have gutted China's export model. A Reuters report (April 30, 2025) confirms the damage: manufacturers, who rushed exports 12% higher in March to dodge the levies, are now out of tricks. Orders are drying up as U.S. buyers pivot to domestic or allied suppliers. Exports are down 60%, with Goldman Sachs slashing China's 2025 growth forecast to 4%, well below Beijing's 5% pipe dream. The International Monetary Fund and UBS agree: China's economy is buckling under the trade war's weight.
Beijing's response? Pathetic. Xi Jinping's regime is throwing weak loans and recycled stimulus at the problem, but it's like bailing out a sinking ship with a teaspoon. A Gatestone Institute piece (April 27, 2025) reveals China's desperation: on April 24, a dozen Chinese officials sneaked into the U.S. Treasury to beg for relief, only to unilaterally slash tariffs on U.S. goods days later. This isn't strength—it's surrender. Trade expert Alan Tonelson sums it up: China needs America's market far more than we need theirs, and Trump's tariffs expose their dependence on U.S. demand for products they can't replicate.
The ripple effects are brutal. A CNBC report (April 17, 2025) shows freight shipments from China collapsing as global demand tanks. China's stock market crashed 12% on April 7, 2025, its worst day since 2008, with Hong Kong's Hang Seng down 13.2%—a bloodbath dwarfing global declines. X posts crow, "Trump's feeding China's house of cards into the wood chipper," and they're right. Foreign investment is fleeing, factory prices are in deflation, and the Chinese Yuan teeters on collapse, potentially triggering a global rush to U.S. Treasury bonds. China's not just losing—it's imploding.
While China's factories rot, Trump's tariffs are breathing life into American industry, bringing jobs, pride, and prosperity back to the heartland. The media won't admit it—they're too busy whining about trade war "chaos"—but the evidence is undeniable. By making Chinese goods outrageously expensive, Trump's forcing companies to source from American manufacturers, sparking a Made-in-USA boom.
Take manufacturing: a Wall Street Journal report (April 2025, via X) notes U.S. factories are ramping up to fill the void left by Chinese imports. Steel, electronics, and textiles—once gutted by China's cheap labour—are seeing new plants sprout in states like Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Texas. The U.S. Commerce Department reported a 3.2% surge in industrial output in Q1 2025, with 250,000 manufacturing jobs added since Trump's inauguration. Tariffs shield these industries from China's predatory pricing, letting American workers compete on a level field.
Allied nations are jumping on board, boosting U.S. supply chains. A Geller Report piece (April 11, 2025) highlights Europe and Australia refusing to "hold hands" with China, while Japan, South Korea, India, and Taiwan align with the U.S. This shift funnels investment to American shores, with companies like TSMC and Samsung expanding U.S. semiconductor plants. A 2024 Bloomberg study estimated $200 billion in reshored manufacturing investment since Trump's first term, and 2025's tariffs are turbocharging it.
American consumers are winning, too. Tariffs incentivise domestic production, stabilizing prices long-term by cutting reliance on China's volatile supply chains. X user @VigilantFox (April 22, 2025) cheers China's failed retaliation—grounding Boeing planes backfired, costing Chinese airlines billions while U.S. firms like Lockheed Martin scoop up contracts. Farmers, hit hard by China's 125% counter-tariffs, are getting relief through Trump's $50 billion agricultural subsidy plan (announced March 2025), ensuring they thrive as new markets (e.g., India, Vietnam) replace China.
Trump's tariffs aren't just economic—they're a middle finger to the globalist elite, including the World Economic Forum's (WEF) dreams of a borderless, China-centric world. The WEF, with its "Great Reset" nonsense, has long propped up China as the engine of globalism, but Trump's policies are dismantling their vision. By crippling China's economy, he's starving the WEF's corporate cronies—BlackRock, Big Tech, and Big Pharma—who rely on cheap Chinese labor and markets. A Geller Report (April 2025) calls this a "strategic win,"noting tariffs expose China's deflationary loop as a house of cards.
Christian nationalists see this as divine justice. China's godless regime, with its persecution of Christians and Uyghurs, deserves to fall. Trump's tariffs align with a Biblical call to protect the nation (Proverbs 14:34: "Righteousness exalts a nation"). By rebuilding American industry, he's restoring jobs to hardworking families, honouring God's mandate to provide for our own (1 Timothy 5:8). The media's 98% anti-Trump bias—per a 2025 Media Research Center study—tries to bury this, but the truth is breaking through on platforms like X, where patriots celebrate Trump's America First triumph.
The legacy media—ABC, CNN, and their ilk—are in China's pocket, spinning tales of trade war "disaster" to undermine Trump. They cry about U.S. consumer prices or global "instability," but where were they when China stole 5 million American jobs from 2000–2015 (Economic Policy Institute)? They ignore how China's predatory trade—dumping steel, rigging currency—gutted the Rust Belt. Trump's tariffs are justice, leveling the playing field and proving America can stand tall without Beijing's handouts.
X posts tell the real story: @MarioNawfal (April 20, 2025) reports Chinese factories in "mass chaos," with workers in panic as orders vanish. The media won't show you Yiwu's empty markets or Dongguan's ghost factories, but social media and outlets like Geller Report do. Beijing's propaganda video, "Never kneel down!" (April 2025), is laughable—Xi's bravado can't hide the economic carnage. Trump's not just winning; he's humiliating China's communist overlords.
Trump's tariffs are a masterstroke, crushing China's economy while igniting an American industrial renaissance. China's PMI at 49, exports down 60%, and factories closing prove Beijing's on the ropes. Meanwhile, U.S. manufacturing is roaring back—250,000 jobs, $200 billion in investment, and allied nations rallying to America's side. This is what winning looks like: American workers building, families thriving, and globalists weeping. The media's 98% anti-Trump bias can't hide the truth—Trump's tariffs are making America great again, and China's paying the price. And, it is about time, too.
