Post from Truth Social

Trillions of Dollars are being taken in on Tariffs, which has been incredible for our Country, its Stock Market, its General Wealth, and just about everything else. It has been proven, that even at this late stage, Tariffs have not caused Inflation, or any other problems for America, other than massive amounts of CASH pouring into our Treasury's coffers. Also, it has been shown that, for the most part, Consumers aren't even paying these Tariffs, it is mostly Companies and Governments, many of them Foreign, picking up the tabs. But David Solomon and Goldman Sachs refuse to give credit where credit is due. They made a bad prediction a long time ago on both the Market repercussion and the Tariffs themselves, and they were wrong, just like they are wrong about so much else. I think that David should go out and get himself a new Economist or, maybe, he ought to just focus on being a DJ, and not bother running a major Financial Institution.

This post reveals Trump's characteristic response to elite economic criticism: wholesale reality distortion followed by personalized devaluation of the critic. Three major factual claims—trillions in tariff revenue, no inflationary impact, consumers not paying tariffs—are mostly false by established economic evidence. The deployment of "it has been proven" and "it has been shown" to authorize false claims represents gaslighting at scale. The attack on David Solomon follows the devaluation template seen in the same-day Powell post, suggesting a pattern of systematically targeting independent economic authorities. The DJ insult reveals ego-syntonic sadism—deriving visible pleasure from reducing a powerful figure to a hobbyist. The pathological distortion is clinically notable: this is not spin or selective emphasis but construction of an alternative economic reality requiring denial of consumer-level experience. The pairing with the Powell attack suggests an organized campaign against economic voices that might undermine the tariff narrative as reciprocal tariffs take effect.

Danger Assessment

None

Gaslighting Detected:
  • 'It has been proven' applied to unproven/disproven claims
  • 'It has been shown' used to lend false empirical authority
  • Wholesale denial of documented economic effects experienced by consumers
Reality Distortions:
  • Tariff revenue characterized as 'trillions' when actual figures are orders of magnitude lower
  • Blanket denial of tariff-driven inflation contradicts empirical evidence
  • Claim that consumers don't pay tariffs contradicts economic consensus on tariff incidence
Fact Checks (4)
"Trillions of Dollars are being taken in on Tariffs"
Mostly False

US tariff revenue was approximately $80-120 billion annually even with increased tariffs. 'Trillions' is a significant exaggeration by at least an order of magnitude.

"Tariffs have not caused Inflation"
Mostly False

Multiple studies and Federal Reserve analyses have consistently found tariffs contribute to consumer price increases. The extent is debated but the direction is not.

"Consumers aren't even paying these Tariffs, it is mostly Companies and Governments"
Mostly False

Economic consensus holds that tariffs are largely passed through to consumers. Studies of 2018-2019 tariffs found near-complete pass-through to US import prices.

"David Solomon is a DJ"
True

David Solomon is known for DJing as a hobby, performing at venues under the name 'D-Sol'.

“Tariffs have caused no problems for America other than revenue”
vs.
“The Supreme Court's tariff ruling requires giving back $159 billion to companies and countries”
The source claim asserts tariffs caused 'no problems for America other than revenue' (i.e., only the positive consequence of cash inflows). A Supreme Court ruling requiring $159 billion in tariff refunds is a direct financial/legal problem stemming from the tariff policy — money that was collected must now be returned. This materially undercuts the 'no problems other than revenue' assertion, even though Trump frames the problem as the SC ruling rather than the tariffs themselves. Note: the SC ruling postdates the source claim (Aug 2025 → Apr 2026), which slightly tempers confidence.

“Tariffs have caused no problems for America other than revenue”
vs.
“The Supreme Court tariff ruling requires $159 billion in refunds”
Identical analytical basis as Candidate 1: the source says tariffs caused 'no problems' other than revenue, but a legally mandated $159 billion refund of collected tariff revenue is a significant problem directly traceable to the tariff policy. The same caveats apply regarding post-source timing and Trump's SC-blame framing.

Daily Digest Routine Governance Day Punctuated by Brief Economic Grievance Salvo Targeting Powell and Goldman Sachs

A mostly routine day of presidential business — tariff extensions, a DC crime emergency declaration, and five federal judicial nominations — was interrupted by a sharp mid-morning outburst targeting Fed Chair Jerome Powell and Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon over economic policy. The attacks include...
