Honestly if there was a foreign actor trying to do harm against the US would it look any different to what this administration has done in 2 months? Vandalism pure and simple. J6 was a preview of what’s to come
That's why you plan ahead for the stupidity and put your retirement into a money-market. It's not great, but it's better than losing a shitload with what's coming.
Just wait until our allies start cancelling their orders from defense companies.
This will unite mexico and Canada against the US while further dividing the United States. The US could easily win a trade war if there was a just cause that people could rally around. This isn’t it. This is a temporary ruse to utilize tarrif revenue to make the tax cut math work.
Honestly if anything that understates the problem. Not only are the American people. It motivated to rally around the trade war, at least 10% of the country is actively rooting for Canada and Mexico.
Hey Buzz, as one Canadian so I can’t speak for all of us but the voice of sense and reason tells me we are not against the US. We are launching a retaliatory action at the approach of one American citizen who has regrettably taken this approach. We have stood by as friends and allies for
Generations and the majority of all of us on both sides of the border will weather this too. We were there this summer fighting fires, we were there after 9/11 and we will continue to be. The bonds of partnership will extend past this time of turmoil but let’s work as partners not enemies
I think it is cute that you think the US could ‘easily win a trade war’. Do you own a business? Canada is your biggest customer. What do you think happens when your biggest customer goes somewhere else? You are about to find out.
Perhaps easily is the wrong word. This will cause pain to both countries and all things equal the U.S. would be better able to withstand. However, that is if everyone in the US was as united as the Canadians will be tolerate the pain this will cause. Canadians just need to wait until midterms.

Regardless, it's better than actively losing money in the recession/depression that seems likely to come.
