No no no. it was trump. Ya. ya. He was powerful and magnificent you see, ya, ya. Canada and Mexico sure learned who was boss today. Ya, that's the ticket.
- Introduced uncertainty into markets
- Motivated Mexicans and Canadians to avoid American products
- Spurred American retailers to raise prices, which certainly aren't coming back down now that tariffs are 'paused'
Trump sometimes sounds as if the US shouldn’t import anything, that America can be a perfectly closed economy making everything at home,”. “This is called autarky, and it isn’t the world we live in, or one that we should want to live in, as Trump will find out. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Canada Border Services Agency already has 8,500 front-line officers, and Canada’s border is also patrolled by the RCMP between official crossings.
Last December the Canadian gov made a big announcement re border security.
This is how he keeps his cult in line. The rest of the world deals in reality and wants to protect the global economy so they will “promise” something that is already in existence and will allow trump to proclaim.
💯 and now he’s got a majority of corporate media, including corporately owned local news, parroting his “success.” This administration has been all about the appearance doing something by taking credit of what’s already been done. Laziest and sadly effective approach.

Maybe he knows they’re reducing the number of troops, and actually wants things to get worse so that he has more to agitate about.
Let’s give him many more reasons to shit himself.
I want to be there when his "volatile tarrif markets" meet the "biggest tech bubble of our lives," and he just explodes.
It’s so Republican to make the chief negotiator a complete imbecile who hasn’t done the homework.
Trump the Bullshitter in Chief.
What an embarrassment.
