Donald Trump’s tariff threats are not strategy—they are desperation. The U.S. government wants Americans to foot the bill for Trump’s political games, while pretending to punish India. But indian exporters know the truth: tariffs are nothing more than a hidden American tax on its own people.

When trump raises tariffs, it’s not indian suppliers who pay. It’s U.S. citizens at Walmart, at Target, at every checkout counter. The money flows straight into Washington’s coffers while Americans suffer price hikes. india, meanwhile, will simply pivot to Europe, the Middle East, and Asia—markets that are booming and ready.

The illusion of U.S. economic strength rests on the printing press. The day America stops flooding the world with dollars is the day its economy collapses. Imagine 1 USD = ₹30. It may sound extreme, but when global trade shifts away from the dollar—and it already has—that nightmare for Washington will be reality. Trump’s arrogance is only accelerating this.

Suppliers in india aren’t begging for U.S. orders. They know opportunities exist elsewhere, and they know global buyers are tired of America’s bullying. Trump’s “America First” policy is becoming “America Alone.”

By overplaying his hand, trump is not cornering India—he is cornering his own economy. The world has stopped dancing to Washington’s tune, and indian suppliers are ready to lead the next step.
