By announcing the China/Canada/Mexico tariffs *immediately* on the heels of the understaffed FAA disaster on the Potomac, Donald Trump is hoping to use one bad policy to distract you from the effects of another one.

Trump is screaming to the USA, don't look at the huge FIRES of destruction I set all over our nation, in Canada, Mexico & Greenland. (ALL OF WHICH ARE US ALLIES, WHO WENT INTO BATTLE PROTECTING & DEFENDING OUR TROUPS ON THE GROUD). i DEMAND YOU LISTEN & BELIEVE MY LIES. OR I'LL PUNISH YOU.
Stephen Miller is the one running the show. He is the one who is controlling Trump and he has been for years. Trump does everything he does according to what Stephen Miller says to do. Educate yourselves on who and WHAT Steven Miller is. It is absolutely shocking what this traitor has done Sickening
It’s kind of like god drowning Pharaoh’s army in the Red Sea but not telling the Israelites they had to wander in the wilderness for the next forty years.
Distraction is Trump's favorite tool. While his Treas Sec says lowering taxes on the wealthy is the administration's "number one priority", that work goes on behind the scenes while Trump blithers publicly about tariffs, DEI, and other MAGA red-meat issues. And the MAGAts fall for it.
Never doubt how many people Trump's arrogance & incompetence can kill. Proven fact: WE can NOT trust AIR TRAVEL at this time. What's the next deadly bomb of incompetence will explode next?
HOW MANY HOURS of testimony did Clinton give when she was questioned about the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi? Meanwhile, the Secretary of Transportation tried brushing off questions by saying he'd only been on the job for a day, but he was praying about it.
The tariffs were supposed to start tomorrow but now are scheduled to start on March 1st.
I think he was waiting for Canada, Mexico and China to blink but decided to give them another month to cave in to his threats and if they don't ... he'll give tham another month to think about it.
His standard playbook.
Keep the outrageous things coming one after another so that no one is able to focus on any one horrible thing.

And in the next minute we find out there was no DEI hire, and China has hit back with a 75% tariff. Does everyone realize just how much is made in China?????
I just hope the Billionaires who own GM, Ford, Toyota, Chrysler tell tRumpus what's about to happen...I worked all over N & S America in Automotive & Aerospace plants. A Huge Portion of Ford Motor Company Parts comes fromm Linamar in Canada, a Huge portion of GM Parts come from Delphi in Mexico.....
Oh we do not blame all of you we have seen how he has divided and lied to you. We care about our cross border cousins whom we have had so much in common with. It will come again. We are worried for you as much as ourselves.
I hope people realize the goal is to annihilate our country and for a few to profit the way the Russian oligarchs and members of CCP did after the fall of communism
According to Greg Palast who was on the Kyle Kulinski show Kamala was robbed of 3,565,000 votes; 1/28/25 show—Secular Talk. Watch it on YouTube! Harris and America were cheated by trump/musk/magats of the presidency. Don’t be afraid, watch the program. Palast is a reporter and statistician.
exactly. this was his distraction to get the press away from the terrible plane crash. notice 🍊 has still not spoken about any of the deceased? pure narcissist sociopath. he was seething taking those questions he couldn’t answer truthfully.
I think he’s just going down his checklist of terrible things he has planned. Other terrible results will follow naturally, such as more crashes of all kinds: literal and figurative. Don’t blink.
I think Trump's wondering who he can hurt next? Sign a un-constitutional exec order requiring all females(not mega wealthy) to wear red? Pick out a jewel encrusted crown to wear? Threaten to bomb Great Britain? Actually bomb Great Britain?
It is literally a Gish Gallop of bullshit to keep trump in the news cycle 24/7.
Give a toddler a mirror and he is entertained, admiring and licking that smooth, cold glass.
How beautiful the baby in the mirror!
And everyone has to do as he says, or he will hold his breath. Then they will be sorry!
Yes, good reminder of this tactic. Something terrible happens (that is definitely Mango Unchained’s fault along with his ketamine addicted billionaire sidekick) and he immediately does something else awful in order to distract the people
From Canada, I'm committed to purchasing anything but American made products. I've been waging a 1 woman trade war with China for about 5 years, so there will be things I'll have to do without or make do.
Yep. That’s been is MO for years. The more outrageous or outlandish he is, the worse the thing he is trying to distract from is. It’s pathetic, dishonest and juvenile
He thinks he can frighten us, divide us, break us, we are united and we will BEAT THIS UGLY ORANGE SHIT GOBLIN LIKE WE BEAT EVERY FASCIST POS BEFOR IT.WE WILL PISS ON HIS GRAVE!!! WE ARE CANADIANS!!!
Absolutely. #Felon47 is trying to distract attention from his disasterous leadership, me- focussed, tone- deaf, address on the air crash in Washington, by creating a bigger distraction elsewhere!! In the balancing act between Ego and World-stability , he chose trump! #HeIsDangerous
And just like 2017 and 2018, when the tariffs drove up our prices then when removed should have seen prices drop, did they? Does anyone remember if they really did? Let's do a better job this time keeping track.
Someone(?) injected a complete and utter fucking moron in the POTUS seat. So now we will have to put up with all the crying and whining about, "I didn't know...". This is going to be a l...o...n...g four years.

100% of the potash the USA needs to make fertilizer comes from Canada and we supply 35% of the world.
It's not a distraction.

He spent 30 minutes today writing executive orders-we will find out tomorrow what they are as he golfs, again, at Mar-a-Lago…

We're keeping track of everything he says and does.

$10 says trump skips meeting with the family of the victims and plays another round of golf.
His Daddy and lawyer Roy Cohn taught him that.

Dropping Amazon too, for the same reason.
