This week, China found out the price for being an undermining foe is 10%.

And Canada found out that the price for being a helpful friend, who helped with California's wild fires, is 15% more.

Thank you, totally incompetent Donald Trump.

it's almost as if sucking up to authoritarians is more important to him. 🤔

that and the only supporters that matter to him— the billionaire class— want things to be cheaper from China. with everything going up... do a smaller bit of tariff... then pad that out to an *effective* 25%... for profit.

dlogue.bsky.social•20 days ago

I realize you have a justifiable affinity for Canada but Mexico actually sent more ‘Boots on the Ground’ assistance with the most recent California wildfires. Of course they have all been forcibly deported since then but they actually helped when it was needed … unlike President Microphallus.

Regardless of friend or foe - tariffs should NEVER be applied across the board to all goods. Tariffs should be carefully applied only to selected products or industries to influence purchasing habits. Unilateral tariffs will BREAK the US economy. Then again, that is The Orange Turd's intention.

kaybell27.bsky.social•20 days ago

Trump is incompetent, whilst tariffs hit US goods into Mexico and Canada, they effect items like booze and consumer goods. The US 1 in 5 vehicles come from Mexico and Canada, 80% of timber for housing comes from Canada, energy relies on Canada. Trump is a fool he needs them more than they need him.

As I understand it they are being so called punished, because American drug dealers are not being caught and punished.

pewtergod.bsky.social•20 days ago

And America is about to find out the actual price, in dollars and cents, of voting for a Fascist madman.

bigredaries.bsky.social•20 days ago

Not incompetent a plan to break it all then buy for price of parts!

Yes, a slap in the face and a stab in the back were not something we had associated with our "friends", it's time for new friends.

barbarabolstad.bsky.social•20 days ago

As an American who didn’t vote for this jackass I want to apologize to all of you Canadians I didn’t want this and I support all of you!

dano53.bsky.social•20 days ago

We know so many of you are not in favour of this, you're going to be paying the tariffs just like us, a sad state of affairs.

barbarabolstad.bsky.social•20 days ago

It most certainly is! I went on a fall tour of New England and Canada for fall colors in the 90’s with my late father and I so loved visiting your country. The fall colors were beautiful! The cuisine was excellent and I have wonderful memories of traveling with my late father!

mchperreault.bsky.social•20 days ago

Yes! This! We need new friends. 🇨🇦
But I still feel really sad for my American neighbors who didn’t vote for him.

barbarabolstad.bsky.social•20 days ago

I am one who didn’t vote for yam tits!

dano53.bsky.social•20 days ago

A lot of innocent decent Americans will be suffering with us because of their lack of critical thinking at the ballot box.

healthcarechik.bsky.social•20 days ago

Including millions of the decent and critical thinkers who did not vote for him.

dano53.bsky.social•20 days ago

We saw that.

healthcarechik.bsky.social•20 days ago

I hope our good friends push back hard on this lawless felon of a US President. A bully only stops when he is punched back hard.

Well, yeah, Canada helped California, a blue state.

California should secede.

Stunningly stupid. Functionally illiterate. Extraordinarily ill-informed. Hugely incompetent. Malignant narcissist. Failed businessman. Easily manipulated. Mean and vengeful. Transparently racist and misogynistic. A man with no redeeming human characteristics and, yet…here we are.

Mexico sent fire fighters to the USA to help as well. Ffs the bloke is a moron, half of the fresh fruit and veg they eat comes from mexico. Good luck in controlling food price inflation you orange sack of shit (trump obviously)

ericacoffey.bsky.social•20 days ago

Will the Chinese manufacturers of Trump paraphernalia get an exception?? 🤔

maketsufi.bsky.social•20 days ago

Basically, don't be allies with the United States. That is what Trump is messaging.

adambirnbaum.bsky.social•20 days ago

He wants to remind the world that our friendship is hollow and our word cannot be trusted. Because he's trying to permanently break American hard and soft power.

ld3477.bsky.social•20 days ago

Oh, he's much more than incompetent he's from the dark side. I don't think we know or can fathom how much worse this could get.

1steve2many.bsky.social•20 days ago

Well to be fair, Trump doesn’t regard California as an ally, either. So lending aid to California doesn’t earn Mexico and Canada any goodwill from the administration.

gregory-c-leavitt.bsky.social•20 days ago

The man is maliciously incompetent. It’s as if he’s intentionally acting against the best interests of the nation. 😐

raincoast.bsky.social•20 days ago

Perhaps he is not incompetent and is intentionally acting against the interests of America. I think this is more likely

gregory-c-leavitt.bsky.social•20 days ago

Never assume ignorance when simple malice will suffice.

canada-keith.bsky.social•19 days ago

Trump is Not protecting Americans Interests in Fact he is Protecting The Real President, Elon Musk’s Interest. The Majority of Tesla parts come from China whereas GM, Ford etc come from Canada 🇨🇦 & Mexico with a 25% Tariff. Corruption 101😤😡👊👏😎🇺🇸🇨🇦🇲🇽

guboya.bsky.social•19 days ago

This is way too simplistic. If that is their plan, it is going to backfire monumentally. Elon's Teslas are not exclusively sold in America. I, for one, would never buy one, and I know I am not alone. Just like the Trump name, Tesla's brand has been tarnished forever.

canada-keith.bsky.social•19 days ago

I agree. France without Tariffs yet have plunged Tesla Sales Down 63%. Europe should Join Canada and Mexico to cripple Musk/Trump version of America. Trump’s time is Short with Midterms in less than 2 Years. Musk gets Tesla Batteries & Parts from China, not North America like our Other Car Companies

guboya.bsky.social•19 days ago

America is preparing to see what isolationism does. If you think Mexico, Canada, or any other country will take this sitting down, you don't understand geopolitics. We are a declining, divided empire currently confronting a new world order. China will take the lead. It already has.

canada-keith.bsky.social•19 days ago

Well Stated. Mexico 🇲🇽 is yet to Respond and Yes are the Drug and Border Real Issue. Canada who represents less than 1% of drug and Border issues proves Trump has other Evil intentions. Canada 🇨🇦 Retaliated with 25% Tariff on $155 Billion of U.S. goods flowing into 🇨🇦 . Provinces are Banning 🇺🇸 alcohol

guboya.bsky.social•19 days ago

I read somewhere that Mexico is planning to impose 50% tariffs on Tesla. One can only hope this is true.

rookney.bsky.social•20 days ago

Meaning it’s in his interest to charge China less- I was being facetious 😞

martinrayner.bsky.social•20 days ago

Just kidding around. I was also being facetious. Sometimes hazardous misunderstandings arise when there’s a collision of facetiousness.

rookney.bsky.social•20 days ago

😂😂😂😂 problem is there is too much to not be facetious- we are in pickling times 😳

martinrayner.bsky.social•20 days ago

Absolutely crazy-making and anxiety-producing times we’re in, to be sure. But also... completely hilarious. Real-life episodes of “Veep” constantly unfolding before our lying eyes.

So, will Canada be withholding its water bombers and fire fighters next fire disaster season in the USA?

thegodofcities.bsky.social•20 days ago

America has more law enforcement
divisions than any nation that has ever
existed. We have the FBI, the CIA,
Homeland Security, the US Marshals,
the Coast Guard, The MP's, The ATF,
the DEA, and you're fucking telling me
that none of them can arrest Elon Musk
for breaking into our mainframes???

This is more about what Musk wants: to destroy North American auto industry since he has a mega factory in China. The 10% on China is to make it look more above board.
