The numbers don’t lie, Trump still sucks. And while the White House is still pushing their propaganda nonstop, the truth is Trump is an even bigger failure than he was the first time he was in office. From failed negotiations, to disastrous tariffs, and even failed promises. He just can’t help himself, he’s a failure, all talk, and the only things he ever delivers on are even more disastrous and detrimental. But let’s break it down:
With 7 months into 2025, here’s Trump’s massive failures in his first year back in office so far:
— Failed tariffs. Trump’s tariffs have not only caused extreme instability, market crashes and even price hikes, but even worse, Trump has had to back down endless of times on his original tariffs plan, reducing them, making exceptions, and delaying them time and time again. Call it the ‘TACO’ deal. He always chickens out.
— GDP shrinking. That’s a fact, the US economy shrank 0.5% in the first quarter, the first time in years.
— US credit rating downgraded. The US credit was downgraded by Moody’s from Aaa to Aa1. That’s the first time Moody’s has downgraded the US since it started rating the country.
— Underwhelming job reports. In perhaps the most important area, Trump is also failing. Job growth has slowed down, and in some months it has even fallen well below expectations.

— US dollar collapsing. That’s right, even the value of the dollar has declined in the few months Trump has been in office. In fact, the dollar has lost about 10% value since Trump was sworn in for a second time. It is the dollar’s worst start to the year in decades. And even more surprisingly, it has continue to decline even as Trump backs down from his tariffs threats.
— Debt is increasing. While the debt has been an issue for some time, Republicans specifically run campaigns on reducing spending and eliminating ‘waste’. That’s what DOGE was for, right? Well, even when it comes to the debt, Trump is failing, and failing big time. With the US currently already outspending last year under President Joe Biden. And after passing the ‘big beautiful bill’ Trump has added at least $3.4 trillion to the debt.
