Don't be so sure he doesn't know that.
No jobs, no money, no food, no freedom, and nowhere to turn.
The questions are, how long are Americans going to allow him to continue taking them down this path to destruction? And what are they willing to sacrifice to stop him?
They didn't trigger the Great Depression, but they worsened it. The market crash of October 24, 1929 has the dubious honor of being its official start.
He either thinks he can pocket all the tariff money, or he thinks he can get them to knuckle-under and give him money, or whatever he wants, just to stop the tariffs.
This also explains why fElon is taking over the treasury, because when tRump's tarrifs start another great depression and the dollar crashes, fElon won't let the treasury bail out the economy!!!
The great depression started in 1929 due to bank failures; however, the Hawley Tariff Act, yes tariffs, further exacerbated the economic crisis. The depression did not end until 1941 (entry into WW2.)
The last time America took on a weak Canada was the war of 1812. The US lost. Trump miscalculated. He and Musk thought that pushing Trudeau out would open the door for their hand selected extremist to win the next election.
Danielle Smith, Premier of Alta was at Mar a Lago the weekend before the election. She was probably asking for an oil exemption. Ontario's right wing Premier tried to talk to Trump. They go back a long way. He went to DC last week.
His message: don't lump Canada in with China and Mexico. He's been pushing a bilateral agreement on trade. He also handed Musk $100 mil for a Starlink contract in Nov. He called a snap election for Feb..The Musk deal will haunt him. The new PM is announced on Mar 9
Doubtful they'll stick. He has calls set up with Canada & Mexico tomorrow. Bet it plays out just like his attack on Colombia did. Give them everything they want & then claim to be the victor. His brainwashed base will eat it up & release more strongman AI pics.
When trump gets done we will have a new era the Great Great Depression. . Gotta make sure and give him the credit where credit is due. Because we all know he wants credit.
- caused retaliatory tariff sanctions from affected countries
- reduced international trade by 65%
- tanked the economy and exacerbated the Great Depression
We are actively repeating the literal worst parts of history. Buckle tf up.
Market overseas are already down. This time around the crash with come quicker and harder. We know history yet we’re just watching it happen. WTAF is going on!
The utter powerlessness is unbearable - watching them rob us blind in slow-mo in real time. Thank goodness Buddha taught that this all a dream. (Yep nightmares are dreams too)
Create a depression, repeal worker protection laws, millions out of work, wages drop to nothing, millions so desperate they’ll work for pennies 16 hys a day in unsafe conditions w/ no benefits.
Was told about this by a Q anon loon like 7 years ago. Seemed beyond bonkers then, but here we are. Time to play by different rules. As a Canadian I am BEGGING Y’ALL to start organizing. This shit is heartbreaking to watch, let alone be dragged into. ♥️♥️ most of you 😘.
They have started. Remember those of us that belong to the decent class of human being are rocked atm. We have a coup occurring from within and those in place representing the ppl are complicit or have their heads elsewhere talking bipartisan bs. They better start fighting or i fear the ppl will.
The tariffs you talk about, under the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930, was signed into law by Herbert Hoover.
Parallels between Trump and Hoover: Both were Republicans. Both led the country into massive economic implosions. Both scapegoated Mexican-Americans for their political gain!
The tariffs were in response to the depression, making it 1000x worse. The depression was more caused by excessive margin trading plus a huge bubble in the market. A bit like today actually...
Elon already said it would be worse than the depression months before he was elected !!! America is a fucking joke ! From an American in the fucking Midwest 🤦♀️
The question is why do it? Who benefits from trashing the American economy—The strongest economy in the world? Certainly not Americans. So if it’s not Americans, who does benefit and why would a President do it? Bc they don’t have a mandate to do it, People didn’t vote for an “economic depression”…
I do believe the election was stolen 100%. I also believe that the idiots that did vote for him are alright with him gutting the economy. They think he was sent by god🤦♀️ they will support him no matter what.
It is and I see no real plan to stop him! The American ppl are to decided. Other countries are even protesting for us … 250,000 in Germany today! What are we doing!?!? Ordering fast food, posting on social media and ignoring the end of the world as we know it! So fucking mind blowing !!!
You know what to do. We can’t help you but you have the means to do it yourselves. It’s time to stand up now. I’d start with a country-wide general strike… #usnews #uspoli
Can you tell us a better bedtime story tonight please. This one didn’t help me sleep at all. Try one where the good guys win and the bad guys perish. Thanks!
Tariffs didn’t trigger The Great Depression, but creating tariffs as a means to correct it made it much worse. Too bad Rump doesn’t have a clue about history.

And now look at the market futures...

Even the Dingley and 1890 McKinley tariff plans only worked (a bit) because the US still had a domestic manufacturing base.

They (Trump/Musk) will be picking the bones in a few months.
And he has no fuckin business being in the White House.
Good gawd, this is gonna be a wicked looooong 4 years 😱😩🙄😒
But McKinley had military acumen. trump
Is dodging punk… on his daddy’s dime.
We were beginning to recover and the tariffs actually reversed that recovery. History repeats.
Create a depression, repeal worker protection laws, millions out of work, wages drop to nothing, millions so desperate they’ll work for pennies 16 hys a day in unsafe conditions w/ no benefits.
That is Trump’s goal.
They are recreating the Gilded Age.
I believe most people would prefer currency and a system to stabilized by oversight.
This is shit.
2) Putin said in the 80’s that he would destroy America from within. Trump works for Putin.
