Original Note:
Trump’s claim oversimplifies and inaccurately connects tariffs, income taxes, and the Great Depression. Tariffs did generate revenue and existed before 1913, linking the nation’s “richest” status solely to tariffs is false, and blaming income tax for the Depression is false. https://www.history.com/news/trade-war-great-depression-trump-smoot-hawley
