President Trump has repeatedly stated that the U.S. is earning $2 billion daily in tariffs, yet official data shows this figure is vastly inflated. According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the real amount collected since April 5 is only $500 million. Further analysis reveals that the average daily revenue over the fiscal year is around $227 million, far from Trump's assertions. This inconsistency raises questions about the accuracy of the claims and the overall tariff strategy's effectiveness.
Trump touted, "We're making a fortune with tariffs. $2 billion a day. Do you believe it?" This number starkly contrasts with real data, showing far lower revenues.
