iPhones now cost the same in India and US. What’s going on? Because the US is kinda taxing itself—in the name of patriotism. There’s a silent economic shift happening. And weirdly, it’s not against China or Russia. It’s actually against the US dollar. Trump’s idea? Weaken the dollar → make American goods cheaper → push companies to bring factories back home → revive manufacturing. Sounds like a bold move to Make America Great Again, right? But here’s where it gets messy. He’s put tariffs on 180+ countries, including India. And when you tax imports, prices go up at home. So now, an iPhone that used to be cheaper in the US? Almost the same price as here. That’s inflation doing its thing. But it’s bigger than just gadgets. Countries are now being labeled as friends, neutrals, or enemies—purely based on trade. It’s no longer about who you vibe with—it’s about who helps your economy. That’s economic geopolitics in full swing. And history’s not too kind about this either. Back during the Great Depression, similar tariff moves caused global backlash. We all know how that ended. So why does it matter to us? Because that “American Dream” we’ve all heard about? It’s not the same anymore. With protectionism rising and alliances shifting, the West may not be as open as it once was—for students, workers, or startups. Maybe it’s time we rethink our direction. Instead of chasing opportunities out there, what if we just built better ones right here? ✅ Fix our education system ✅ Create real jobs that matter ✅ Retain talent ✅ Manufacture and innovate for the world—from India The global game is changing. It’s not about friendship anymore. It’s about interest. Are we ready to play smart?
