Description: In this episode of Watchdog on Wall Street , Chris unpacks what might really be driving Donald Trump’s renewed push for tariffs—and it's not about bringing jobs home. It looks more like a desperate attempt to raise revenue in a broken system where no one will cut spending. Here’s what you’ll hear: Why Trump’s “tariff rebates” and new fees may be a stealth plan to tackle the $37 trillion debt How Congress’s refusal to cut spending may have forced Trump’s hand Why tariff revenue is just a hidden tax on the American people What the patent fee proposal reveals about the administration’s revenue desperation And why none of it will work unless the money is actually used to reduce the deficit We’re being taxed without calling it a tax—and most Americans don’t even realize it.
