Tariffs announced on Canada, China, & Mexico goods

Well... that was random.

I'm guessing your drugs aren't generic prescription drugs.

That is a typical MAGAt.

I believe you refer to them as “ignorant, racist, fascist, bigoted, sociopathic / psychopathic cunts” on your side of the pond.

Tariffs aren t bad.

Tariffs with countries who aren't causing us problems across the board, specifically those with favorable trade deals, are bad.

Making up bullshit reasoning for imposing tariffs is bad

Random and unpredictable trade policy is bad.

Removing agencies that have a better regional view on our international trade partners is bad.

We don't pay tariffs to Canada......we haven't ..because we have the USMCA. They have tariffs on their dairy BUT we don't pay it.

The USMCA was negotiated by the current President.
 
I post his tweets a lot but that's because he says a lot of smart things. Either we're working towards free trade by tariffs negotiation tactics, or we're collecting mo way to reduce the debt. It can't be both

Trump has no deeper plan. He’s just lurching around and breaking things at random. Then, when he’s called on it, he make up some obvious bullshit to justify it, because he knows his gullible followers will believe anything.
 
$4,000 more per year. That’s how much, on average, every US household is projected to pay for the tariffs imposed this past week. Further escalation in this unprovoked trade war will only exacerbate that economic carnage.

What’s the real motivation behind Trump’s tariffs?

He believes they’ll bring so much money to the treasury that the U.S. will be able to afford another giant tax cut that will mostly benefit the rich.

Who will pay for it? The working class.

Here's what you should know.


 
Trump and the MAGAs still can’t answer the most basic question about the goal of his tariffs:
  • Do they want high tariffs to protect US manufacturing from foreign competition, or
  • Do they want to negotiate with other countries to lower tariffs and enable more free trade?
Trump says he wants both, but that’s impossible because they are opposites. So which is it?

You missed the one where the import duties are going to make America wealthy again all by themselves…

One thing to note (may have been noted by others already...apologies)

We have been getting an amazing deal on oil and lumber from Canada.

This deal is now fucked.

Again....guessing this has been mentioned before in this thread or others, but worth reiterating....

Bottom line - we are literally tanking great deals we have already negotiated that have been incredibly favorable to our country
 
I was wrong about the "little symbolic tariff". He actually went all in and screwed the pooch.

I still think he's going to scramble to walk some of it back tomorrow morning when the carnage becomes obvious.
I was wrong about when Donald Trump would walk back his tariffs. I also didn’t see the pump-and-dump strategy coming.
