TRADE SHOCK: Trump Slashes U.S. Deficit in Half — Lowest in 15 Years
By The Geller Report
While Democrats and their media lapdogs wail about “affordability” and chant that the sky is falling, the numbers keep humiliating the experts.
Under President Trump, the U.S. trade deficit has been cut in half—plunging to roughly $29.4 billion, the lowest level in nearly two decades. Even CNBC sounded stunned, admitting on air that the deficit collapsed from $136 billion in March to under $30 billion—territory so rare they “don’t have enough records to go back that far.” This isn’t spin. It’s math. And it’s yet another case where the so-called experts were dead wrong.
Trump—and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent—were right. The results are undeniable.
Reuters: The U.S. trade deficit just collapsed to $29.4B (October 2025)—the lowest since 2009—as imports fell and exports hit a record.
Inflation has also cooled from where the panic-peddlers insisted it would stay: the CPI is up 2.7% year-over-year (through November 2025) and core inflation is 2.6%.
Bureau of Labor Statistics: And even with nonstop doomcasting, the labor market isn’t “crashing” the way they promised—unemployment is still in the mid-4s, not spiraling. (Reuters) In other words: the narrative is collapsing faster than the deficit—and the people who spent years sneering at Trump’s agenda are being forced, again, to confront reality.
🚨 HOLY SMOKES. President Trump just cut the US trade deficit IN HALF, lowest in nearly 2 decades, CNBC is in total shock!
“Buckle up, THIS IS UNREAL. -$29.4 billion, we cut it IN HALF!”
