Who else thinks it’s very strange that Trump is levying 25% tariffs on our allies Canada and Mexico, but only a 10% tariff on our adversary China?

Whereas with Canada and Mexico, big tariffs WILL screw up all our economies---but Donald thinks he can get them to avoid the tariffs by giving him stuff. (Xi would never do so.)
OVER 73% OF PRODUCTS SOLD AT MAGA HEADQUARTERS ( WALMART ) COMES FROM CHINA.
That's probably a $50 million investment in China. Maybe even a steak in Kim jong-un's new beachfront resort. Not joking.
Anyone he perceives is weak, he will attack Even if best of friends, it's why he has no friends.
America doesn't know what's going to hit them soon. World not liking it.
Even though Elon’s Mom is Canadian, because this soulless sack of excrement cares only about profits
To Elon Musk regular folks are completely expendable
Gotta love a bimbo on a soapbox.. amiright!? 🙄
Musk needs the graphite from China. Donnie’s helping his billionaire pal instead of putting “America First”. https://search.app/8G9DBne6Xns71Tvn8
Ukraine is filled with rare minerals! It’s a huge reason for Putin’s invasion. Looks like our “leader” is copying his hero. Trying to take Greenland’s riches … and sea routes.
For instance - semiconductors and fuel cells are at 50% already. Steel is at 25%
I guess the 10% will be added to those numbers?
Everyone ignored that Obama and all the republicans in congress had blocked Huawei from doing business in the U.S. because they were a national security threat. Trump took their wad of cash and let them back into the country.
They really don’t math all that well …
Until eggs are 10$ doz .
Gas is 10$ gal
Flour is 10$ lb
Nahhh , probably not even then …
They’ll blame ‘libs’
Hmmmmm
People up here will start losing their jobs this week.
We need to stand up to Trump and show him we won't be bullied.
We need Americans to realize Trump's tariffs hurt them and demand an end to them ASAP.
RumpStagFlation is:
Stagnation of economic activity (i.e. job loses and high unemployment) induced by rump tariffs that causes inflation (i.e. higher prices).
Is a worse economic scenario possible?
What do you think?
The kitchen was run by a retired US Army cook. My first task was to mop the floor until the mop came up clean!
8 hours later, the floor finally passed inspection 😀
He’s raising prices on our food 25%
He’s raising prices on building materials and electronics 10%
Say it like it is.
He’s currently speedrunning “piss off as much of the working class as possible”
We should beware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends—weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.”
But he represents the US to the rest of the world, and the actions and communications of his gov't towards Canada and Mexico are hostile.
There's only one conclusion to draw from that.
or an additional 10 points of tariff on China?
🇺🇸 owes China 1Trillion💰💰💰
Elon Musk’s Tesla Inc. is spearheading an effort to block new tariffs on graphite imports from China. https://search.app/8G9DBne6Xns71Tvn8
So long and thanks for all the fish!
A compromise, perhaps.
Why are you all standing around wringing your hands? It's going to get worse, and the time will come that the only way to resist will be with blood.

Canada has more of a reason to lock down the border than The US.
The same Peter that caused the 2018 trade war with China that bankrupted US farmers.
He will drive our economy into the ground and then blame it on DEI and JB.
He's trying to cause a depression.
And I suspect it's all being done on Putin's orders.

Especially when the fentanyl isn’t coming from the north.
Doubtful he will be gone before 2029
