News illustration
In the White House, a man with a plan so grand,
Tariffs were his tool, to make America stand.
He'd raise them up high, or lower them down low,
Markets would scramble, and leaders would go.
He'd claim it was urgent, a national emergency need,
Congress was slow, so he'd act with speed.
A threatening tweet, would send markets astray,
And retailers would warn, of prices to pay.
He'd call the EU difficult, and post on Truth Social too,
But a court would intervene, with a ruling anew.
The tariffs were illegal, and must be removed with care,
The White House appealed, but the ruling would still be there.
A federal court stayed, the trade court's decree,
The tariffs would stay, for now, you see.
The administration argued, with passion so bright,
That Trump's power to negotiate, would be lost in the fight.
Trump rebuked the judges, with a tweet so bold,
Their decision was wrong, and horrible to behold.
The tariffs would stay, for now, in place so tight,
But the court battle rages, with no end in sight.
The power to make or break, rested on Trump's shoulders so strong,
He'd raise tariffs high, or lower them down all day long.
China's tariffs went up, to 145% so high,
Then down to 30%, as Trump's mood would decide.
The EU was threatened, with 50% tariffs so steep,
But Trump backed down, and the crisis would creep.
Analysts coined a phrase, "Taco trade" so sly,
Trump Always Chickens Out, from tariffs so high.
He'd argue it was leverage, to get the EU to the table so fast,
But critics would say, it was just a trade war at last.
If the courts resist, Trump's next move so grand,
Is to ask Congress to legislate, with a wave of his hand.
But that would eliminate, the element of surprise so bright,
And Trump's biggest tool, would lose its might.
He's convinced that tariffs, are the answer to America's plight,
And he'll keep on fighting, with all his might.
