The White House describes the tariffs as a response to inadequate border and drug enforcement. They are forecast to add thousands of dollars to the price of vehicles.

Does anyone believe this is the reason? It’s really because trumps being vindictive & spiteful. And we are all paying for his temper tantrum & revenge tour.
Damn straight we did, which is why now his lies are obvious. This was never about the border or about fentanyl. This was an excuse to start a war. Canada is the USA’s, Ukraine. Mark my words, he will not step down in four years.
IMPEACH, REMOVE NOW. Check @50501movement.bsky.social to find rallies near you tomorrow and later this week. Demand congress stop this @5calls.org @resist.bot
*What's* a lie? Trump announced these exact tarrifs in his first couple of days in office! I don't like this or much of what he's been doing, but this isn't a lie.
Just his made up excuse to impose tariffs. 0.2% comes from Canada. And we did what was asked so there’s no excuse. 2023 more ppl crossed to Canada compared to US. But at least we strengthened our border to keep more US guns & drugs from coming north. Hopefully can keep that felon from crossing too.
trump is simply very stoopid. Both Mexico and Canada had already stepped up fentanyl patrol (as Pres Biden had previously arranged before leaving office). All border states with Canada will suffer further...This is a disgusting power play and US citizens will surely suffer...trump doesn't care...
Clearly there is a problem with the reporting on WHO is bringing the drugs into the US. No one reminds everyone that one of the pardons that Krasnov gave went to one of the biggest drug dealers in the US and one for a child pornographer so WHO needs to STOP CRIME in our country? The potus isn't!
I don’t think “cheaper prices” means what they think it means. Almost as if they are out to enrich themselves. I feel so sorry for auto workers and their family who may find themselves out of a job when sales tank. Disgusting.
Republicans, don’t cower to the traitor Trump. History will judge you not just by what you do, but by what you fail to stand up to. Honor your love and respect for this country—speak out.
We are being collectively punished for our rampant fentanyl use. Why we don’t just hold ourselves accountable and work out way out of that bag. Oh the narrative, find someone else to blame.
Dictators never want what they say they want. Except when they say they want to kill some people straight. They want to do something, they say something to justify the shit they want to do.
This is such bs with regard to Canada. Drugs are not flowing over the Canadian border into the US. If anything, more drugs go into Canada from or through the US.
How does someone wake up in the morning and say “wow Trump is doing a great job and working hard for me, my family and the American people”? MAKE IT MAKE SENSE.
Yes, Mexico is smuggling all those American cars across the border on trains and trucks. Why don’t we launch a strike on those automobile cartels providing the products American want
His knowing not how to read and look at evidence is truly stupidifying ... more drugs come into Canada than goes into the usa fucktard...i can't wait to read his obit.... hopefully sooner than later
US border patrol stopped 13 grams of fentanyl at the Canada border. About a tablespoon worth..so Canada gets hit with billions of tariffs because of it.
The lie. Drug enforcement and fentanyl are non issues according to U.S. stats (while they still exist) and border crossings in Mexico are down.
These are failed excuses Trump is using to power economic control over other countries and as a result the U.S. Trump has never understood trade/tariffs.
I don't think he understands math...someone needs to get him 'Tariffs for Dummies', have someone read it to him (since he can't do math, claims he never read project 2025, he might need some help), so he can see Tariffs will do nothing and his reasoning of revenge is getting real old...
Good news, our Canadian friends are promising surgically targeted tariffs. 100% tariffs on Teslas, Tesla having the biggest share of the Canadian market by a substantial percentage.
One of the Liberal leadership candidates, Christia Freeland, is the one proposing the 100% tariff on telsa if she wins the liberal leadership nomination to replace Justin Tredeau as PM as he resigned in January.
Telsa sales are down everywhere thankfully. Hopefully the 100% are applied regardless.
Trump’s tariffs are a wrecking ball aimed straight at American workers and consumers. Car prices will skyrocket, jobs will be lost, and for what? Spite? Ignorance? He’s tanking the economy on purpose—and millions voted for this disaster.
Why are all Americans being punished because a few weak Americans can not keep their hands off the drugs. Focus on the demand for the drugs. If the people want the freedom to kill themselves by taking drugs then I say let them. Survival of the fittest.
Whatever excuse he uses, it's a violation of the USMECA treaty that he negotiated & signed. This is precisely why Zelenskyy should not sign any agreement with DJT - his signature is a failed polygraph & his deals aren't worth the paper they're written on.
100% pure unadulterated bullshit. It's a shakedown, intended to inflict pain on US partners at the will of Mad Vlad Putler. I'd love someone to prove me wrong.
Really? Canada has done everything they asked for. Nothing will ever be good enough for Trump . Don’t try to appease him again. Just turn the power off to the USA. Maybe the USA could do something about all the drugs coming into Canada from the USA
