Someone once said, "Colombia has a drug problem," to which the response was, "No, we don’t. The U.S. has a drug problem—they have millions of addicts."
I have seen a program that showed US border guards on the Texas-Mexico border. Yes, it still requires a lot of development and border guards could come to Finland to learn. There is good expertise here on how to control the border even in challenging conditions.
Canada not a huge importer of Fentanyl or Immigrants. Trump will accept a public statement and private personal investment from Canada and Mexico, claim success, and then cancel tariffs. nothing will really change except him taking credit for the current flow of immigration.
So Vance is as dumb as trump ? He’s trying to convince people that other countries pay the tariffs not the American consumers? Here all this time I thought he was a dangerous jerk, but thought he was intelligent with that fancy degree.
You own a T-shirt Company
You import $1000 of T-Shirts Monthly
You sell said T-Shirts for $2000.
Gov't Tariff is now 25%, your T-Shirts now cost $1250
You don't eat the profit
You raise your prices to capture the same income.
A Tariff passes costs on to the consumer!

I am so sick of his “oh lawd, they coming!” posts that he puts out there, threatening the public with these murderous mobs if we don’t do what he wants. It’s despicable.
Drugs and guns are coming INTO Canada from the US. We are not trying to illegally enter the US. Ask any Canadian. Most of us like it here. Except maybe Albertans.
It’s disgusting. Everything out of their mouths is lies and deceit. His MAGA followers won’t wake up to reality until it hits them in the head. Sadly, we have to endure hardship.
They are intentionally harming the Citizens of the United States of America.
The soon to be squatters in our House are out to bring harm to the people of our country while they steal everything that is ours.
Canada’s biggest export to the USA is oil. I’m sure Maga folk will rejoice to see their costs at the pump rise. Or are they going to use less petroleum, perhaps? Oh, I forgot; Maga is about burning petrochemicals.
There's also a lack of self responsibility. After all borders, like doors, work in both directions and Canada, for one, is seeing a skyrocketing influx of illegal handguns (sourced from the U.S.) that I doubt a single American politician could care less about.
LOL @ the supposed deluge of greedy Canadians flooding into the country to steal all the benefits when they have state-provided healthcare and benefits at home
And some don’t even have deep pockets. They will also lose Medicaid and federal funds they need to survive. There will be people that will be out on the street. Single mom of 2 boys and I live month to month. Thank God I have family that helps or I would never survive the tariffs
Wait until fools see prices sky rocket. How many products do they think are made in US. Slap in face to old Republican Regan beliefs. Free markets. Think they are crying over eggs prices, wait until they see what is coming
Do they think we're stupid. I'm an importer. I pay the tariffs, not China. I have to add it to the cost of the product. Only complete morons think China pays for it. #inflation
How does NAFTA or USMCA fall into imposing tariffs on Canada or Mexico? Would we not be in violation of the trade agreements currently in effect with C & M?
Begin burning down Vance supporters who don’t have security homes, businesses and blasphemous churches in solidarity against traitor trash Putin puppet Trump.
Let them stained traiiters know they don’t have a solid future in the United States after this so mote it be..
Cool us Canadians got lots of lumber concrete raw materials oil and other goods to get rich off the choices of the upper echelon of stupid. Would be nice to see our dollar strengthen but usually better when it's along side our allied nations and not at there expense but w/e silver linings. Right.
I really still can’t believe that this is what a little over half of America wants.
I’m gonna stop spending money on anything that’s not a basic necessity until Trump is out of office. Let’s hurt them where it counts their pocketbook. #MagaHatesUs
Musk told them we would have to pay hardship to get our country where it needs to be. His followers will stay quiet and say they are patriotic for not complaining. We will scream and be told we’re selfish. I’m afraid it’s going to take years for them to realize it’s never going to get cheaper.
At the rate we're moving only friends the United States will have are North Korea and Russia. I do not see Canada and Mexico responding kindly to this arrogance.
And it’s the US Border Patrol that decides who and what is allowed to leave Canada at any location a mass exodus of illicit shipments or undocumented migrants could take place.
They know 80% of the Fentanyl confiscated at the border brought over by Americans, right? And nearly 90% of all seizures are from vehicle searches. Oh! Maybe the caravan is a Dodge Caravan.
Vance went to Harvard & tRump to Wharton, but neither one understands how tariffs work. Well, their supporters will soon find out, as well as the rest of us...it will cost us. Humongous inflation.
🤔 But the US has the highest incarceration rates, most of them being US born citizens... So, wouldn't it be more likely we're exporting crime to those places, as opposed to other way around. I mean, mathematically speaking. 🤓
Next administration is simultaneously gas lighting and hiking prices on the country's people under the guise of America First. America but not Americans = rulers first?
Wanna bet this is a lie turned "change of heart". Once he realizes what this does to oil, he backtracks.
He would have to start subsidizing with ExxonMobil if he did this.
WTF 😮😮😮😮. The only ones going to be paying are the American people ughhhh. Drump and drance are nothing but freaking idiots and on January 20th this country is going to start being run by a freaking circus with a bunch of idiots at the wheel.
"It's important to not let poison into our country". Meanwhile, they're going to get rid of all the regulations so domestic corporations can poison our country.
$8.00 2x4s will kill any hope we have for affordable housing in this country and I can't imagine what this will do to the cost of car manufacuring in the United States.

That's what happened to steel products.

Lower the minimum wage and people on unemployment can work the jobs illegals do.
We are already paying BILLIONS to put migrants in hotels in NYC.
That works both ways.
Guess where all the guns in Mexico and Canada come from?
America could easily stop the flow.
Sorry American exporters!

It's our problem, and we're NEVER going to solve it by blaming others.
Drug addicts have excuses. They blame their problems away rather than finding solutions.
Obviously on its face, this is an idiotic move that impairs our partnerships with critical allies AND drives everyday costs higher for Americans.
A method to make tax cuts to his rich buddies!

But to date, none have placed tariffs on everything as all other presidents were smart enough to know the massive impact it would cause.
This fear mongering should be illegal.
He’s a despicable lying POS
TRUMP: "It's Biden/Harris/Clinton’s fault!"
MAGA: "That's right!"
He would have to start subsidizing with ExxonMobil if he did this.
