What the evidence supports
China had a $1 trillion annual trade surplus with the United States.
Official 2024 data put the U.S. goods-and-services deficit with China near $263 billion and the goods-only deficit near $295 billion.
China paid the United States hundreds of billions of dollars in first-term tariffs.
U.S. importers paid the tariffs, with studies finding American purchasers bore most of the cost.
Japan paid nothing toward the cost of the United States military presence there.
Japan provided billions per year in cash, in-kind and indirect support; GAO recorded $12.6 billion in direct and in-kind support from 2016 through 2019.
The European Union was formed to take advantage of the United States.
European integration was supported by successive U.S. administrations to stabilize Western Europe and promote shared security and prosperity.
Trump went four years essentially without inflation during his first term.
Consumer prices rose about 8% over the term, and year-over-year inflation was 1.4% in January 2021.
Foreign countries emptied prisons and mental institutions to dump their occupants into the United States.
No evidence established such a coordinated policy, and the recorded global prison population increased rather than plummeted during the cited period.
Trump built 571 miles of southern border wall during his first term.
Official data recorded 458 miles, much of it replacing preexisting barriers.
