Trump’s economic genius strikes again, friend: slap tariffs on American families, rattle global markets, and leave taxpayers holding the bag.

The U.S. trade deficit ballooned to $140.5 billion in the first quarter alone. That’s a 93% increase from 2024. When Trump plays dictator-in-chief with the economy, working families pay the price. That’s why Team Swalwell is fighting back — in Congress, online, and with every Penguin Protest Tee we ship out.

Check it out: It’s bold, it’s limited edition, and yes — it’s the only merch on the planet brave enough to take on Trump’s 10% penguin tax of MacDonald Island. Which, unfortunately, was a real thing. [[link removed]]

We’re calling it like it is: irresponsible, ridiculous, and downright dumb.

But here’s the real danger — Trump’s not messing around with island tariffs and frozen birds. He’s playing games with our economy, and we’re the ones footing the bill.

But Eric isn’t letting it slide. He’s demanding real oversight, real accountability, and real economic policies that don’t bankrupt the middle class to boost a MAGA ego trip.

If you’re sick of watching Trump crash the economy with every temper tantrum, join us in the fight. Grab a Penguin Protest Tee and chip in to help Eric call out the chaos. [[link removed]]
