Signed a deal mandating 75% of auto production in North America (not the US exclusively) and is surprised more factories would be built south of the border. Self own.
His clownish HHS Secretary is about to upend infectious disease research.

Maybe some of the many, many “Biden’s old” column inches could have gone to actual news instead.
Fix it for me or else
He is going to get a middle finger rather than the bow he is expecting
Canada’s largest export to the USA is crude oil - $129bn in 2023.
So much for lowering energy costs - better start drilling big Donaldo!
They can’t ALL be this dumb, can they?
“The Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930 raised U.S. import duties with the goal of protecting American farmers and other industries from foreign competition. The Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act is now widely blamed for worsening the severity of the Great Depression in the U.S. and around the world.”
This causes countries to deepen relations with China while trying to save their economies from America's insanity.

Or is this his opening salvo for some quid pro quo? "Give me $10M and I'll nevermind this." I expect there'll be a lot of blackmailing going on in this administration since he's above the law.
Expect massive retaliation from resource rich Canada & Mexico.
/Sarcasm
But then again maybe not
Well at least ~77 million of us deserve it.
May an adult please explain to me the incentive for Canada/Mexico to do anything if this happens?
Are we in that scenario?
No LOL. We're England leaving the EU.
He may be great with sweeping pronouncements, but his follow-through sux big time.
"Do I wanna see gas go to 8 bucks? Well if it does, I'll say:"well america you earned it, you voted for this ass-hat"
the government. Marketing yourself for votes is salesmanship. It does not translate to economic decision making. His decisions are impulsive.
Pay attention.
Get out of this drama of instability.
Or do you only see still photos of him with that stupid smirk on his blotchy face?
Let them wear it.
How many trucks?
Only displays by total EV, not units. Not sure if that information is available through OEC or not

Always true.
Maga time to plant more lithium. Lithium likes to be planted deep, mixed with the sperm of virgins.
Tesla is the most corporate welfare based car company in the free world. It made sense 5 - 10 years ago. Not anymore.
For example, 90% of our avocados come from Mexico. Guac is REALLY gonna cost extra

As I mentioned on Nov 8, "but have you seen the price of eggs?" is going to be the "but the trains ran on time" of our era.
Leopards Eating People’s Faces party would immediately increase leopard imports. Next few years are gonna suck.
so fuck off; the track record of the wapo re trump sucks despite daniel dale
It sure would've been handy to have such an industry in 2024. Instead, what we've got are overpaid circus addicts who #sanewashed a sexual predator/con man/dictator-wannabe.
He’ll never implement a blanket 25% tariff on all goods from Mexico and Canada.
I'm deeply distressed about never being able to ever eat like a normal person again.
Tomatoes just don’t grow as well here (except in southern CA—so, Mexico).
So what happens when that source gets too costly?
Enjoy that $120 pizza!
And that $200 Olive Garden pasta plate.

So even higher
But with a 25% tariff on about half the beef imports and the tariff markup the corps will skim on ALL imported and domestic beef, it's LUPFHD that will be taking their hamburgers away.
High earners will be able to afford plenty of avocados 🥑🥑🥑🥑
#SaveAvocados
Because when we go high they go even lower. Because they just don't freaking care about people.
We tried. We're finished trying.
Knives out.
Period.
No more playing nice.
💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙
So... "How much could an avocado cost, Michael? $10?"
We import $105B in cement/lime/minerals and $28B in lumber/paper from Canada. We also *already* tariff that lumber to death
Expect construction costs to go through the roof (so to speak)
you can never be too early, but you can be dreadfully too late
Anyone?
It will be painful!
Thanks so much!
entity. Critical thinking has disappeared from the idiot far left in America too it seems.

My Maga buddies expecting lower gas prices will be disappointed.
Here is a quick ChatGPT question and answer on the topic.
Then blame THEM if it doesn't work out.
Classic Trump.
The guy is a Lazy Bastard.
Why did Canada have to be dragged into this, for heaven sakes
Canadian oil sells at a discount to other crude oils because of its quality, transportation costs, and limited market access.
It's cheaper that even Domestic (US) oil.
I don't like it. But it works as a bit.
He’s like the newly minted junior supervisor that does not know of what he speaks.
Let them feel pain. Maybe it'll stick
Good job Michigan, Wisconsin, and for that matter Ohio, Iowa, Kansas, and Nebraska.
They still think the Dept of Energy oversees domestic oil production.
I'm going to be sick 🤢
Maybe he should talk to them.
I'm stealing that one!
