Trump just announced a 25% tariff on everything coming into the United States from Mexico and Canada. Hey MAGA - remember all those prices you were crying about? Get ready for things to be A LOT more expensive! This is what you voted for

The US is Canada’s largest trade partner and vice versa.
Everyone in the US and Canada can look forward to paying A LOT MORE for everything’s
What idiocy.
Canada doesn’t have to impose across the board retaliatory tariffs. Maybe a Canadian export surtax on oil, natural gas, electricity and prescription drugs. That’ll be sobering (oh, and beer!)
Actually,some economists are predicting that all those Canadian goods will become less expensive on the Canadian side of the border because of the tariffs on the American side. Americans won’t want to buy Canadian so Canadian companies will decrease prices to sell to Canadians.
Not sure. It certainly doesn’t work that way with dairy. The Cdn gov’t has an antiquated Soviet-style supply mgmt system for dairy that has Cdn’s paying $6 for a gallon of milk and $10 for a lb of butter. No competition from other countries allowed, only Cdn co’s selling to Cdn’s. Prices only go ⬆️
Unfortunately, it’s the only way idiots learn. Conservative Americans have lost all critical thinking skills. They’re the types that need to feel it themselves in order to learn the lesson. And now they will, and so will we all, because of America’s idiots.
Yup, and I couldn't care less if you can afford it or not, you voted for just that, cause you were to lazy to educate yourselves!!
congrats Maga morons
No sympathy. This is what they voted for. They wanted tariffs. They begged for them. All those Canadians sneaking into America. They must be stopped. Canadian crime spree.
Even he doesn’t understand how tariffs work. He thinks he’s sticking it to other countries but he’s actually sticking it to Joe and Susie six pack who bought five of his Bibles. 🤦🏻♂️🤡🤷♂️
Most people don't realize that 30% of the food we eat is imported. Also, we don't have the manufacturing facilities to just take over imports - it would take a crazy amount of $ and probably a decade. If anyone thinks any of this will make prices drop, they are simply stupid.
Exactly, had a conversation at work the other day. You know the orange trees in Florida still have a growing season right? Confused look. Well the fruit you get during the winter is mostly imported. Still confused look! Seriously, you didn’t know that? He walked away after that 🙄🤷♂️
We import 94% of our fresh fish, 55% of fresh fruit, and 32% of fresh vegetables. Our biggest sources of imported food are Canada and Mexico, but France, Italy, and Singapore also are major suppliers. So yeah - he's threatening to directly make a LOT of our food more expensive
I’ll be looking for worldwide depression the United States sneezes and the world get a cold a depression worse than 1929 because they’ll just keep effing it up
If only everyone had warned them. Oh, wait. We did. The good news is they will remain militantly stupid. Everything bad that happens will be Biden's fault. And Obama's, because black.
We have no mechanism with which to reason with them. All their information comes from tech bro shit pipes.
Majority of what people buy here in the United States, including some foreign companies such as a vehicle manufacturer from Honda or Toyota have places here that are built on American soil so therefor it won’t be affected. Prices will be lower than it is currently if you actually look into it.
Unfortunately it will be non profits like ours and the people we serve that will really suffer. We are already feeding tons of people in our area who can make their food budget stretch to the end of the month. Paying utility bills to keep services on and trying to protect lgbtq+ youth from bullying
Our capacity to produce food in the US will be severely limited by the plan to deport millions of workers whose labor puts food on our table. Raising prices on imported food means many Americans will be unable to afford food.
NAFTA is a key cornerstone for American Capitalism and dominance in the New World, it gave rise to many border cities, drove down prices- if anything we should be expanding it.
Use the bar graph you had in TikTok. Visuals are GREAT! Bar graphs will help them to understand but they won’t actually understand UNTIL they go grocery shopping.
Every avocado you buy will go up. Maple syrup will cost more. The US is Canada's largest export market for fish and seafood, accounting for 64% of Canada's exports in 2023. #F**kTrump.
What? Just 25%?
He lied... he said 200%
Lol.. MAGATS ARE GONNA MAGA... they'll feel it in the pocket, and still blame the Dems. Mark my words.
Losers will lose, but will be bitch angry about it - blaming everyone else.
Waiting to see what the boss level is at the end of 4 years. Someone save the USA
I, too, am looking forward to MAGA reactions when Trump does things that negatively impact them. Things they didn't bother to try to understand. But until he's in office, it's just bluster. Likely, but premature.
Canadian here. You know our Govt will be looking at retaliatory tariffs. I'll try my best to have them just target red state industry, but my efforts don't carry much weight. Sorry. 🙂
Sadly, the avocados probably wouldn’t be edible. Growing from seeds gets you a unique avocado if anything grows at all. Commercial avocados are grafted from the few edible variety. Same goes for apples. You can grow from seed but the apples will be different from the parents.
I don’t think the USMCA requires parts to manufactured here in the United States though. The way I understood these kind of agreements : if it takes three parts to make a widget as long as the widget is put together here in the USA it doesn’t matter where the parts come from. But maybe I’m wrong.
I was literally just reading … re-familiarizing myself with the “Buy American Act“… but that mainly applies to government purchasing. And I knew there had to be something else that applies to consumer purchases and the percentages of parts that have to be put together here in the USA.
Ok…first of all… you’re using that gosh darn common sense again!! WE understand it. Those who it will effect the most…they already rationalized hiring a criminal. Do you really believe they’re going to connect that it cost $6k for a basic 24 cubic foot refrigerator to tariffs?
Absolutely not counting on any of the cultists abandoning him, but is there any hope that the sliver of voters who handed him the election this year realizing might realize they were lied to?
Remember Schwartzkopf’s “shock and awe” campaign? It was meant to inspire fear and despair. This is what is happening now…only to us. This is plan. Yes, some will realize. But that won’t change the regime. We’ll all just all be super pissed off. Until the midterms hopefully. There’s always hope.
Harry, thanks for your posts.
I'm able to pre block Maga before I hear from them.
They think they won something by getting blocked. Not knowing that's been the plan all along
I am having to put off retirement because the numbers won’t work for us now. Thank you MAGA for fucking up everyone in this country, even yourself but you all too fucking stupid to know that.
And yet his administration along with his right wing buddies on social media and cable news will still find a way to blame Biden & Harris and the followers will believe it. SMFH
I think I'll go to the pool tomorrow here in Florida and listen to all the stupid Trump supporters complain and laugh at them, and walk out. It will make me feel better.
Stunning failure by Dems to get the message on tarrifs through to the vast majority of the country. I wish they had hammered the point and destroyed Trumps credibility on economics. Most people still thought Trump knew what he was doing but it's clear he didn't understand who pays the tax himself.

That’ll be the least of MAGA’s complaints as time goes by.

Doesn’t he know that folks will realize he was lying when prices spike again?
….yeah you’re right. Probably not.

Harry, have you ever worked a day in your life?
The sad truth is a lot of Americans are very stupid people.
