Canada and Mexico will suffer severe economic blows from the tariffs Trump announced on Saturday. Their strategy is to make sure Americans feel the pain too.

"Their strategy is to make sure Americans feel the pain too."
It's as if this is Trump's retribution on America's rejection of him in 2020. This is what a malignant narcissist is all about and it wasn't too difficult to see that this was coming. On Twitter I was laughed at for suggesting this.
Omg. It's almost like there was similar things in place in 1929. Omg bankers jumped out of windows. It ushered in a great depression. Omg. Only this time it will work right?
The Liquor Control Board of Ontario is the largest purchaser of alcohol in the entire world. Today all its shelves are being emptied of anything American. Trump pissed off his #1 customer. #boycottAmerica
The 🟧🤡 and his rich thugs are doing THE BIGGEST HEIST IN HISTORY AND WE WILL ALL PAY FOR IT SOME WITH THEIR LIVES! #plutocracy #oligarchy #project2025 #autocracy
#fdic #treasury #marketcrash2025 IS OUR MONEY in the BANK SAFE?!
Not just Americans gonna hurt by him doing this but now Canada and Mexico hon be a slap attics on us. Canada already threatening to hold back on fuel we get from them. They booed Hid Bless America during the hockey game the other day. He’s gotta go…
#CaptainFailboat Trump is entirely BLISSFULLY IGNORANT & TONE DEAF to how his MORONIC #TrumptanicTariffTradeWar will crater the 🇺🇸 & 🌐global economies‼️
My guess he’s hellbent on #Trumpression II🦠📉💸to outdo fellow Republican Herbert Hoover’s “Great Depression” (triggered by Smoot-Hawley tariffs!)⁉️
Less than 1% of the fentanyl that enters the US comes through the Canadian border. It's the US's responsibility to patrol what gets into their border, just like it's Canada's to patrol what comes from your side. Or do you suddenly want to be responsible for all the guns that pour out of the US?
The scary part is that less then 1% is enough fentanyl to possibly kill 9.5 million American people. (NY times article) Mexico is at 89% I think both sides would want to help even without the threat of tariffs.
I was a little surprised about the Canadian tariffs. Upping the US side of the border seemed like that would have handled the problem. But Mexico things only got better (or didn't get worse) when we had stay in Mexico policy until your court date. Basically it slowed the roll of the Cartels.
You are surprised that Canada reciprocated? Really, trump declared economic war on them? Did you see they booed the US national anthem at the Ottawa Senators game vs Minnesota? Trump is an absolute clown.
This is how Americans treat their best friend and ally. Imagine the message that sends to the world.
The planet significantly changed forever, today.
Signed, a proud and independent Canadian. #tariffs
Asan American, I stand with Canada and Mexico. MAGA needs to learn what tariffs really are, and apparently, so does their Republican dumbass sadistic leaders Trump and Musk.
Yeah, America will feel the pain. The Moron will feel it soon....when it all comes tumbling down around him. While the stupid fuckwit twiddles his thumbs....We wish you well and be good with your families.
This asinine move is just cover for every last retailer and wholesaler in the US to raise their prices. As Dear Leader has acknowledged, it is very hard to get prices down once they have gone up. More inflation and greed, please.
You got the fucking headline wrong too
But doesn’t kill us makes it stronger
America’s gonna be isolated
And fuck like we’re ever gonna do a deal with you again you fucking shit
Americans are gonna feel this fucking pain
WTF… Americans were ALWAYS going to feel the pain. We were ALWAYS going to pay for the Tariffs. They’re just making sure that it’s even more painful. Especially in states that say they wanted this
And if he’s going to do this to us while trying to hurt them then they absolutely should amp up the pain since direct consequences are the only thing that Trump’s supporters **might** understand.
Bullshit headline, WSJ.
That idiot was told numerous times what would happen and he did it anyway.
He's like a spoiled three year old being told not to touch the hot stove.
It's past time this guy was held accountable for his own actions.
Well that's what they get for hacking into our elections and flying weather balloons over our airspace and......oh wait.......that's Russia and China, not Mexico and Canada
Obviously, trade wars never end well for anyone. I fear for my country 🇨🇦, but I believe Mexico will be the worst off. It’s an all-around sad and foolish situation.
No…Canada just doesn’t want this at all. 130 years of trade thrown away and regular people suffering across North America? Trudeau just stood in front of the country’s leadership and said we do not want this.
Democrats should be asking out loud the question, "Is invoking the 25th amendment appropriate when someone is too stupid to be president?" IQ 47 has implemented tariffs because he is too stupid to understand how they work, or how they impact Americans.
No, he doesn't understand how they work. He has made repeated statements reflecting his ignorance. He believes they are a tax on exporters. He exhibited that ignorance before the entire world recently at Davos.
10% is still a lot. I am sure the oil company in the Us will still take is part. We are already looking elsewhere. He is doing à similar scenario that Putin did with Ukraine.
The oligarchs/fascist in the US want Canadian resources.
Their goal is to destroy Canadian sovereignty and take over Canada.
This is an attack on Canada.
This is a war.

Also - blue states should join forces, with Canada and Mexico, against the Red states in economic warfare.
No taxes for the fed from blue states. I'll live with the fines ...

Show up at your state capitol, city hall, or town hall and make your voices heard.
Let’s show the world that the American people will stand up for their democracy.
They do have good reporting, but their editorial board is pretty awful
Reporters are generally chosen for their competence.

I think this is becoming clear and an allegiance that could save both of our Countries
Food (cost) for thought
I wouldn't piss on Trump if he was on fire. Although when he's gone, I'll even be willing to pay a fee to visit that urinal.

Tax the rich and leave us out of it
I believe he’s even said that prices will rise and we’ll have to deal with it. He’s malicious and petty
They don’t care is my point. Trump said the pain is worth it. He knows what’s happening
