Just off the top of my head:

Pressuring the Fed to cut interest rates and other actions to reduce the US dollar's value
Massive payouts to agribusiness, especially maize and sugar producers.
Try bringing in some fruit or a salami into the US. I dare you.
OpenAI, Meta, Anthropic, xAI etc ripping off the entire world's entire content.

Maybe someone else can fill in the rest.

(2) The US has sales tax which is VAT in a trenchcoat.

(3) The US dumps its corn below cost and saturates foreign markets due to massive corn subsidies.

(6) Try buying a toilet that uses more than 1.6 gallons per flush in the US. Oh wait, you can’t, it’s banned.

(8) US companies have transshipped Chinese goods ever since Trump’s 2018 trade war
