Canada should just cut off non-vital trade to America until we have a new trade policy
My coworker loves Trump loudly and obnoxiously. But she's mad about the tariffs and votes for the NDP here, but says he's "doing good things for his country", but can't identify what. She doesn't know anything about weaponized disinformation, Russian troll farms, or dark money, and I very gently explained these things to her today, and saw this dim light turning on behind her eyes. So many people don't know how badly they've been suckered by weaponized disinformation and dark money.
It hurts itself in its confusion
He may be dumb but not as much as the people who voted for him
God I'm exhausted.
At this point, we just need to cut it all off completely. Oil shipments, electricity, lumber, aluminum. All of it.
I know that that's a hard ask for those industries that are affected, and if it means the federal goverment has to temporarily raise the deficit in order to subsidize those industries it'll be crazy expensive and inflation will shoot up. But I'm convinced that that would be only a short amount of time that that would actually be needed.
Let the United States go one week without our stuff. 100%...fuck 'em. They'll last one week. Maybe two. And when they quit their bullshit, make it clear that we are diversifying our business partners making it easier to pull it from them again anytime they let Trump open is fucking mouth.
Hold our resources hostage against them.
Trump: "Fuck framing lumber. All my homies hate imported timber for house framing."
Fucked up Beyond All Repair.
Just skip to the end and stop all imports and exports between both countries, see how well that goes.
Looks like the Governor of the 47th Oblast is throwing another hissy fit.
Come on now, calling Trump the dumbest man on Earth is doing a great disservice to JD Vance who has put in an enormous amount of effort this last year to pip him at the post.
It's like he doesn't understand tariffs... It's hurting your country.
If you put a tariff, it increases the price you're paying. It makes the goods more expensive for your industry and your population. It makes your industry less competitive as your industry has to sell at higher prices.
Then comes the reciprocal tardif what makes your industry even less competitive. Putting more tardif will hurt your industry.
Did he say "he was the champion of the industry" or whatever similar? Well people voted for the person who doesn't know what 2+2 makes.
Not to mention the "Governor Trudeau" extra-dumb.
God I hate politics-by-Twitter. I'm appalled that the US is turning into a fascist country, but I'm even more appalled by how pathetic, puerile and trashy the US' new fascist overlords are. At least Hitler dressed in Hugo Boss and made speeches that enthralled people: MAGA dresses like tramps, Steve Bannon-stylee and bullies other countries like kids on the playground.
I like that Trudeau announced he was fucking leaving and before he could get his ass out the door and let someone else take the lead, all this shit happens because Trump was elected.
What a fucking circus.
@imvii Perhaps since little donny says he does not need anything from Canada we should shut off his electric and oil now. That would be before he could effectively replace it.
Akin to Putin invading Ukraine, the tariffs aren’t a trade war, they’re a Stupid Economic Operation.
Trump doesn't understand he's a bitch no matter what he does.
When you have a 25% tariff, additional tariffs really don't matter.
100%....hmmm. Yeah 200%!
It's funny that he's trying to imply that he's reacting to our tariffs by saying the US ones are reciprocal, but then immediately contradicts that by (correctly) identifying ours as retaliatory.
Which is it, Don? How do we retaliate against something we allegedly started? Stupid fucking lying bastard. US stocks are plummeting and I hope it continues. FAFO.
Who's he talking about? Was there a gubernatorial election I missed in one of the 50 states because a governor resigned? Was it Desantis? Please be Desantis!
"Man who does not what what a tariff is launches his second trade war"
I am so fucking embarrassed that my fellow citizens elected this fucktard instead of the extremely qualified and dignified Kamala Harris.
I hate it here.
It’s a very predictable result to this antagonizing. Tariff too high for the market and the idiot will self-embargo himself out of inputs that grow food, fuel cars, and make goods.
And he wants more oil pipelines even as he goes.
Do it you fucking limp dick
To infinity, and beyond!
I don’t really give a fuck, I’d rather us do something.
I am so tired of this guy
Since he's such a steaming pile of shit, he will likely use any escalation as a pretext for military action.
Here's what chat GPT has been trained to say:
Later today, Lutnik (Trump aid), said that "we will meet Canada/Mexico half way on tariffs.", with announcement tomorrow. So, maybe other direction.
