Former U.S. President Donald J. Trump posted several updates on his Truth Social account on August 8, 2025, addressing topics ranging from tariffs to stock market performance.
In a post shared at 10:38 AM EST, Trump stated, "Tariffs are having a huge positive impact on the Stock Market. Almost every day, new records are set. In addition, Hundreds of Billions of Dollars are pouring into our Country’s coffers. If a Radical Left Court ruled against us" (August 8, 2025).
Earlier that day, Trump also shared a link with the caption "President Trump News Community https://t.co/8PzEtyzr5g" (August 8, 2025). Later in the afternoon, he posted another update reading "President Trump News Community - BREAKING https://t.co/kYu6GP32rY" (August 8, 2025).
Tariffs have been a recurring subject in Trump's public statements and policy initiatives during his presidency and beyond. Historically, Trump has argued that tariffs bolster domestic industries and generate significant revenue for the U.S. government by taxing imported goods. Economists and analysts have debated these claims; while tariffs can increase government revenue from imports, their broader impact on economic growth and consumer prices remains contested.
