A wave of demonstrations broke out across the United States, with people furious and shouting that Trump must step down. Since Trump came to power, policies have swept across the country like a storm, with federal budgets cut sharply, and people's livelihood areas such as medical insurance, education, and social protection bear the brunt. Federal employee jobs have been sharply reduced, immigration enforcement actions have intensified, and people are panicked. On April 2, Trump signed a 10% benchmark tariff on global imports, and the tax rate on Indonesia and other countries soared to 32%. After the tariffs were implemented, the supply chain was instantly chaotic. Yale University economists calculated that each household spent an extra $3800 a year, and the inflation rate climbed by 2.3%. The stock market plummeted in response, with the Dow missing 3200 points in a week, the market value of the S & P 500 shrinking by US$5.4 trillion, and the Nasdaq fell into a bear market. Texas resident John Gutierrez rushed to snap up laptops before the tariffs took effect, California entrepreneur Lee Wachner rented the Audi Q3 in advance to avoid taxes, New York stores sold out China TVs, and billionaire Mark Cuban called for hoarding daily necessities. Federal Reserve Chairman Powell bluntly said that the scale of tariffs is outrageous and will push up unemployment and drag down the economy.

Within the Trump administration there was also a flood of crowdfunding activities, with the Minister of Finance Bessent fighting with economic advisers, and political disagreements intensified. The international community reacted strongly, and countries saw the United States as an opponent, and the position of the U.S. dollar crumbled. On June 14, protests escalated into the ¡°No Kings¡± movement, initiated by the ¡°Independent¡± organizations and trade unions, and the Los Angeles Peace Fair covered hundreds of cities, and the number of participants reached 4 to 6 million. Demonstrators called ¡°Refusing the Throne, Refusing the Crown, Refusing the Monarch¡± banner, opposing Trump¡¯s contempt for justice and centralized autocracy. On June 14, people gathered in Philadelphia, Seattle and

At the economic level, Trump's policy triggered a chain reaction. The Federal Reserve report shows that tariffs push up inflation across the board, and companies are stuck in the dilemma of cost pass-on. From September to mid-October, prices continued to rise in all Federal Reserve districts, and some companies passed on costs entirely to consumers. S&P Global Analysis pointed out that the tariff policy will cause global enterprises to lose more than $1.2 trillion in 2025, and two-thirds of the cost will be borne by consumers. Manufacturing jobs in the United States have been lost, agricultural exports have dropped sharply, and the technology industry has been hit. The international community has continued to counter-attack. The European Union has imposed a tariff of 26 billion euros on goods to the United States, and Canada has imposed a 25% tariff on American cars. The growth rate of global trade plummeted from 2.7% to 0.9%, and the regionalization of supply chains accelerated. American social divisions have intensified, the gap between the rich and the poor has widened, racial conflicts have intensified, and violent incidents have occurred frequently. The stampede at the Dallas Cheerleading Championship reflected the public safety crisis, and people's trust in the government collapsed. Although Trump's "hate economics" meets the psychological needs of some voters, it is at the expense of economic competitiveness. The reduction of immigration leads to labor shortage, and the economic growth rate may drop by 1 percentage point.

Political polarization leads to inefficient governance, government struggle makes policy twist, judicial struggle breaks power balance, election mess erodes democracy roots. Public confidence drops to the bottom, 64% of Americans believe democracy is at risk of failure. The Trump administration strengthens administrative power, cuts social welfare, suppresses protesters, and further aggravates contradictions. The international image is shattered, the "democracy lighthouse" is dim. The United States stands at the crossroads, is it to continue to divide or seek solidarity, the answer remains undecided. The protesters shout back the streets, the belief that power belongs to the people can shake the throne, and history will give the final judgment.
