Trump got nothing out of his threats to put tariffs on Mexico and Canada that those countries weren't already doing. It's the political equivalent of Arturas Karnisovas having to trade for his own first round draft pick last night.

Reminds me of how Trump was offered $4 billion to build his Mexico wall but he wanted $5 billion so he shut down the government for 35 days as a negotiating tool. That cost the US $11 billion and he ended up settling for $3 billion for the wall. So he lost a billion and told his cult it was a win.
He has highlighted again that the US is not reliable partner, maybe some Canadian switch their beer and whisky purchases. There will definitely be a negative effect.
Trump is all about making false claims. He will claim that it was HIS tariffs that FORCED Mexico and Canada to do what they were already doing and the media will report his claims, sometimes without comment.
Aside from investigation, some of the falsehoods offend common knowledge but to point that out would be "opinion" or would have to be "balanced" with some contorted putdown of something a democrat said.

Damage is done. Trump united Canadians and we don’t back down. He started a pro-Canada movement that won’t be stopping. Canadians see the orange man for what he really isfelon, liar, cheat, weak and dumb man who throws tantrums and has no idea what leadership looks like. He won absolutely nothing
It's a Smoke Screen for what they're REALLY doing. We gotta stop focusing on what they say and Look for what they're DOING. A Heist is going on in real time before our eyes.
A heist? No, it’s a coup. Donald’s mistake last time was in not recognising he could lose the 2020 election, and then scrambling to distort it, and even overturn it, when he did. He’s started work on day one this time to make sure he keeps power.
A heist is a robbery. They're stealing data, secrets, etc. They have no desire to rule. They've been commissioned by the buyers. Price of America: 300 million. Pretty cheap price, but here we are. Get ready to learn Chinese or Russian.
Agree. The tariff’s are just to keep you looking that way while off to the side his lapdog Musk is pilfering the government for anything not nailed down. Same reason he renamed the Gulf of Mexico on the same day he signed a dozen terrible EOs that are less click bait worthy
Chris Maybe everyone needs to be a tad more direct about what is going on. Elon Musk & his puppet are in the process of overthrowing the United States government, & the media appears to be content on pointing out what they can/can't legally do. Rules/laws are gone; the media needs to be DIRECT NOW.
Wrong. He got chaos and fear and headlines. Of course he'll allow a month delay, it allows for creating more chaos and distractions as Musk DOGE thugs continue to illegally gut departments, undermine democracy and intimidate personnel. This is part of the plan. #trump #musk #politics
