Trump Makes Bonkers New Claim on Tariff Revenue, Says the Media Hates' America for Not Reporting It
"We have taken in, and will soon be receiving, more than 600 Billion Dollars in Tariffs, but the Fake News Media refuses to talk about it because they hate and disrespect our Country, and want to interfere with the upcoming Tariff decision, one of the most important ever, of the United States Supreme Court. Because of Tariffs, our Country is financially, AND FROM A NATIONAL SECURITY STANDPOINT, FAR STRONGER AND MORE RESPECTED THAN EVER BEFORE. GOD BLESS AMERICA! Trump posted."
"The Treasury Department reported that it collected $195 billion in all tariff revenue in through September of 2025, which ended the fiscal year. Erica York, the vice president of federal tax policy at the Tax Foundation, explained at the time that figure includes preexisting tariffs, as well as the new tariffs that the president has imposed this year. If you break it down further using data from CBP (Customs and Border Protection), those new tariffs have generated about $117 billion of collections for the Treasury."
A claim asserts that tariffs have produced $600 billion in revenue. Treasury data show $195 billion in total tariff revenue through September 2025, ending the fiscal year. Customs and Border Protection data indicate new tariffs generated about $117 billion for the Treasury. The Tax Foundation found calendar-year tariff receipts exceeded $200 billion and approached $250 billion, well below $600 billion. The Tax Policy Center projects $2.3 trillion from 2026–2035, with $247 billion in 2026 and an average burden near $2,100 per tax unit that year. Treasury, TPC, and Tax Foundation figures align closely.
