The X post says the U.S. trade deficit “plummeted 16%” in one month, implying a broad and lasting economic improvement due to policy.
While the 16% figure is correct according to official data, the interpretation is misleading for three reasons:

Fact: The U.S. goods and services trade deficit shrank from $71.7 billion in May to $60.2 billion in June 2025, a 16% decrease.
Source: U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA)

Why it’s misleading: The change wasn’t due to a sudden export boom or permanent policy win. Economists note it mainly came from a sharp drop in imports after a surge in May, when companies rushed to bring in goods before new tariffs took effect.

Imports Fell Faster Than Exports
Fact: In June 2025, U.S. exports fell by 0.5% ($325.4B → $323.7B), while imports fell by 3.7% ($397.1B → $383.9B). The smaller gap came from buying less abroad, not selling more overseas.
Source: BEA

Why it matters: A “plummet” in the trade deficit sounds good, but in this case it means U.S. businesses and consumers reduced spending on foreign goods—often a sign of weaker demand, not necessarily economic strength.

Historical Perspective Shows This Is Not Unusual
Fact: The U.S. trade deficit has had similar or larger month-to-month swings before, without signaling a sustained trend.
For example, in April 2020 (COVID lockdown period) the deficit dropped 19%, but it rebounded within months.
Source: U.S. Census Bureau historical trade data

Why it matters: Using a single month’s data point to claim a major policy victory is cherry-picking—especially when trade numbers are volatile and driven by global supply chain timing.

it's a misleading but actual number. you're being lied to

but most of the actual nazi soldiers were taught by their fathers the ideals of the nazi party and were loyal to it. most of them also hated jews.
