I’m so so confused. The goal with Canada is to batter them into “consenting” to annexation. It won’t work, of course, since even though we can do them more damage than vice versa, they’re united and we’re not.

What are his goals for China and Mexico?

Tariffs on Canada but not Mexico is the stupidest possible outcome and I'm practically giddy that's where we're headed.

It's quite surprising, but when you have a complete loon as president...

Has the WH confirmed Mexico or just from the Mexico side? I've been afk most day so likely missed it

thewizardofboz.bsky.social•27 days ago

Trump tweeted about it

Please do it 🙏

No. These tariffs hurt ordinary people more than anyone else. We have no reason to launch a trade war with Canada.

jenonymous.bsky.social•27 days ago

I wonder if the Canadian side recorded the call. Wouldn’t surprise me if it’s just Trump ranting, blustering, whining, and begging for some sort of token concession he can spin as a win.

China will not be able to take Taiwan without a word of opposition from F47.

With Mexico he got what he wanted and the Mexican president was very good at getting gun control stepped up at the border. With Canada... he wants Canada!!

pinkrosefairy.bsky.social•27 days ago

Trump told the WH Press Corps that he postponed the 25% tariff in Mexico after it agreed to put 10,000 troops in the Border. Not a single Capitol reporter or TV news host has bothered to point out to him or the public that Biden got Mexico to put 10,000 troops in the Border without a tariff threat.

No one should until it's needed in an election. He might bring the tariffs beak if he realizes he got played. Let Mexico have this one.

She changed nothing, he just wanted to claim a win and slow down the stock market crash.

serenaindescai.bsky.social•27 days ago

He always does. But funny how he did not mention the gun control in his press conference.

Trump’s Terrible Tariff Tango

Canada and Mexico,
Pretend more troops. Really zero.
Trump thinks he won. But no.
Tariff troll got played? Bingo!

I get the feeling that if the tariff situation on China & Canada don't get resolved soon, then EU tariffs will come very quickly. Maybe even the Mexico tariffs will get unpaused early.

fastandold.bsky.social•27 days ago

If the Canadian trade war escalates then it's a sign of Trump's tariff crusade being more for ideological reasons than negotiations.
In other words, it would mean he's serious about his wannabe William McKinley act.

Tariffs on Canada to stop fentanyl from China and immigration from the south. Makes sense.

caitlinfilms.bsky.social•27 days ago
