Who is Donald Trump's election good for in terms of the economy?

In his first term he lowered taxes for the rich which made him and other rich people richer while the debt grew by 7 trillion dollars due to lower tax revenue,
He put up tariffs on imports which increased costs for consumers,
He wanted to ban TikTok for outcompeting American companies like FaceBook and Twitter,
He wants to ban electric cars from China because they are expected to outcompete American manufacturers due to quality and being more affordable.

Donald Trump invests in property so he might want the prices of homes and rent to increase

Donald Trump is clearly for the rich. 78% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck according to Payroll.org
Most can't afford to buy a house and rent is high,

Donald Trump will make these issues worse.

China's trade surplus has now reached 1 Trillion US Dollars for the first time. (Having a surplus means a country makes more money from exporting than importing; a deficit is the opposite, spending more money importing than money made exporting). This wasn't even a full year's trade but from January to the end of November 2025.

This comes after US President Trump imposed tariffs on products coming from China, this made it more expensive for Chinese sellers to sell goods to America. The sellers began trading more with other countries, the result has been increased surplus for China.
