He is going to say "pinky swear you will protect our border. And buy more booze and stuff from us. "

They will say yes. Won't actually buy the stuff. And he will declare victory

Trumpenomics

I hope you're right, but I don't see it. He's committed to these tariffs.

I hope so

So predictable! We need a journalist from Mexico to provide the true content of these talks because you won’t get it from the State media

kamed63.bsky.social•20 days ago

This is the best case scenario.

Meanwhile Elon Musk and his boys are gaining control of the whole of government data systems and payment mechanism.

smitty-76.bsky.social•20 days ago

No one has seen anything like it, he says. This is a slap in the face to the US as a whole. They say this will cost the American people $2600 a year, or there about. That’s a tie or a bottle of wine to them. Things that make you go hmm.

mynahleague.bsky.social•20 days ago

Weakens us if everyone knows his playbook.

tedbrunt.bsky.social•20 days ago

Canadians won’t forget though

sweetooth1.bsky.social•20 days ago

Oh, but tariffs ARE everything and shouldn't have gone from tariffs to income tax in 1913 per Trump! Hey MAGA, the 19th century world is not the 21st century world! This backwards MAGA money sh't gets on my nerves just as much as Musk's money sh't!

schlonnaschlouisee.bsky.social•20 days ago

Canadians can hold a grudge for a long time.

penkc.bsky.social•20 days ago

French Canadian by heritage; this might explain my til-death-do-I-hate-you approach to life

hrryan.bsky.social•10 days ago

The Scots are good at that too and there are a lot of them in Canada.

schlonnaschlouisee.bsky.social•10 days ago

Like me. Half Scottish by ancestry. 😀

penkc.bsky.social•10 days ago

I do have a bit of that from my maternal grandmother- she definitely didn’t forgive and forget 🤣

ellecfromtwitter.bsky.social•10 days ago

My father-in-law was Scottish. He used to say he had deep pockets and short arms.

penkc.bsky.social•9 days ago

LOL - what does that *mean*?!

hrryan.bsky.social•10 days ago

I'm mostly of Scottish and Irish ancestry and the Irish hold grudges too 😂

kmcn13.bsky.social•20 days ago

At least Canada will be ok. Us not so much

joefedorowicz.bsky.social•20 days ago

😒

2strong.bsky.social•20 days ago

He left out the part where they buy billions in Trump meme coin to get the tariff lifted.

Thanks Trump!

democracyxxxx.bsky.social•20 days ago

Seems like LA found one solution to TRUMP MUSK MAGA GOP FASCISM - PROTEST PEACEFULLY (Just like J6) 😂

Let’s do this in every state at each GOP town hall and legislature. 💪🏼💪🏼👇🏼

FIGHT - FIGHT - FIGHT!
Never give in to Fascism!

capechuck.bsky.social•20 days ago

I would be so happy if that’s how it plays out. I’m concerned re: the over/under here (if I’m using that correctly)… the tariffs get dug in, and they’re still going on in July, and really dragging the economy down. I don’t want them to succeed, but they went be pretty backed into a corner, either.

capechuck.bsky.social•20 days ago

“won’t”

darthfos.bsky.social•20 days ago

Damage is done. He can go pound sand. 🇨🇦

wurtis.bsky.social•20 days ago

The Mexicans won’t “cave” because they know the goalposts would move. We need them a lot more than they need us.

longstorychort.bsky.social•20 days ago

I hope, that would unironically be the best outcome (aside from another thing I won’t mention in public setting)

christine1414.bsky.social•20 days ago

Pretty please buy the Washington Post.

tiredrevenant.bsky.social•20 days ago

We must stand and fight because we risk EVERYTHING if we don't.

We are at the precipice now. Once we cross the Rubicon, there is no return.

The danger is real but the sacrifice is worth saving our nation and its people from a catastrophic dismantling of our very foundation.

vcat11.bsky.social•20 days ago

For those who insist Trump is engaged is some form of 3-dimensional chess where tariffs are a negotiating tactic, I suggest they look up the following phrases: destructive bargaining, loss of goodwill, reputational damage, and blowback.

devokneivel.bsky.social•20 days ago

He tore up Nafta...twice. He is destroying US ability to make deals.

larryleclair.bsky.social•20 days ago

So youre saying rather than a career conman running the country like an extortion racket, he's actualy just a blithering idiot. Interesting choices. Jesus.

2strong.bsky.social•20 days ago

Exactly. They left out the part where billions in Trump meme coin are bought by rich Canadian and Mexican businessman to get Trump to relent.

erbla.bsky.social•20 days ago

Honestly it’s what I hope for - cuz those of us without millions in cash don’t want to lose everything for that psycho’s fun game.

nikkigu.bsky.social•20 days ago

Capitulation is why we are where we are. Other world leaders need to stop giving Trump a "perceived" win that he can take back to the CULT and say "See how tough I am".

upstatedem.bsky.social•20 days ago

But only after a lot of people are harmed financially. Trump the narcissist has to show people he will inflict pain.

inquisitiveursa.bsky.social•20 days ago

That is a reasonable bet and the good outcome.

speckonblue.bsky.social•20 days ago

I would not be so sure. It entirely depends on whether or not his handlers will be able to distract him with a different activity.
Like using the South African government for Mommy Musk's "land" in the Universe Supreme Court.

We don't have the luxury of being as optimistic as you.

endbillionaires.bsky.social•20 days ago

He’ll declare nuclear war, since no one, and I mean no one, can stop him. And this will all be dust. Dusty dust.

dontmindbee.bsky.social•20 days ago

Just like he “saved” Tiktok

winkleberry.bsky.social•20 days ago

The trade war is a distraction from the coup. Tariffs can be reversed tomorrow. Not so for actions of fascists seizing the federal payments system, purging federal law enforcement, grabbing classified data, purging media, purging watchdogs, gutting civil service. A takeover. Maybe irreversible.

skg30.bsky.social•20 days ago

Canada’s like “Are you joking or, like, could that actually happen?” Sure hope you’re right

pilotken.bsky.social•20 days ago

Create a crisis, solve it without doing anything, they caved. How many times can he run this play? At least PT Barnum was entertaining

kirlijo.bsky.social•20 days ago

…aaannnnd the stock market is tanking… there’s no leadership anymore - just the looting of our tax dollars as we sit on social media passively watching it happen and bitching about it in new, clever, jaded, cynical ways!!! WTF, America! We need to do something! We need a hero to mobilize us.

annala2.bsky.social•20 days ago

I thought they already proposed that before he took office.

mydogtodd.bsky.social•20 days ago

@karaswisher.bsky.social it doesn’t matter, it’s too late, our relationship with the US is forever changed.

jgerardi.bsky.social•20 days ago

Canada signed FTA in good faith, and yet it's had the agreement violated twice in eight years. We can't be expected to bend concede more every new term.

radiopirate99.bsky.social•20 days ago

He wants to drive prices up just long enough so that, despite Canada and Mexico doing nothing, he'll drop the tariffs, prices will shrink (a little... greedflation's not going away), and he can brag that he brought down inflation. The Trump long game.
