Looks like Trump may be fueling a crime wave instead of reducing it.

15. Trade Wars

A trade war that’s brash and unwise,
Spawns tariffs that quietly rise.
While China expands,
Trump tightens his hands—
And wonders why growth never flies.

As Trump picks a trade war to fight,
He boasts while the markets lose height.
China plays smart,
Wins the Global South’s heart—
While the U.S. slips further from might.

His tariffs were sold as a win,
But prices and layoffs crept in.
Jobs vanish like steam,
While he sells a dream—
And blames all the pain on “fake spin.”

As Trump throws up walls out of fear,
Beijing lends and builds far and near.
With roads, ports, and trade,
A new bloc is made—
While allies drift off and disappear.

While Trump snarls and tariffs take flight,
Old allies slip out of his sight.
China fills in the void,
With soft power deployed—
As the U.S. just picks its next fight.
