Canada, if you’re listening… Put 100% tariffs on Tesla and take them off Chinese EVs. Use export tariffs on energy and critical minerals. #strikeback #tariffs #econosky #finsky
What’s really messed up is I held it together these past few years hoping to finally get to a point where the fed relaxes its stranglehold on the economy only to watch Trump come in and in less than a month he fucks it up all over again.
What he wants to achieve and what he will achieve are two different things. The stock market has already plummeted. My 401K statement will have to go into the shredder for the next four years at a minimum. Longer if Democrats cannot win big in 2026 and 2028.
´Aims to achieve’: chaos and bad diplomacy at the price of the low & average income families… incompetence of a corrupted criminal administration showing after not even a month in charge…
BLOG: Trump launches tariffs again even though they were a miserable failure last time. So why do it again? Because tariffs serve special interest groups - at YOUR expence. Here is my take on Trump’s tariffs as an economist and financial analyst for many years.
Why would you pick a fight with our closest allies and trading partners, Canada and Mexico? It is not going to end well. It's just bullying to show he can. Kind of like most of his actions.
He doesn't understand how trade works. He thinks it's like trading one of his blue Legos for a green one. I hope some other Commonwealth countries hit them with an embargo.
Give me a fucking break. He hasn’t a clue on what he hopes to achieve other than trash economy, raise inflation, help himself and billionaire bros to short selling windfalls, etc.
For the typical American household, the tariffs will mean a loss of about $1,200 in purchasing power, according to the Budget Lab at Yale University, a nonpartisan research center. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
The US is wasted. It's just a bunch of dangerous religious lunatics and uneducated thugs running the country. Canada and Mexico should discuss with China to create a political, economic and military alliance.
These tariffs affect all Canadians. They could plunge us into a recession. We have no ability to influence this felon, fraudster and convicted sexual predator. We have no option but to put pressure on Americans through consumer decisions. Sorry, but not sorry.
FFS Day12 Well, concept of a plan stable genius has decided 'the groceries' are on indefinite hold. While 47 cosplays at world domination, people struggle. He never cared. He never will. He will never walk an inch in your shoes. He can barely stand erect in his own. Stay safe y'all. Bea Best
His mission as always because he has the best brain, you know them MIT uncle genes kind of brain, has been to convince his base that he knows better than the economists, what tariffs do. 47 owns this catastrophe. You can't blame this on the Mohawks. You all look it up.
He has dementia. He’s angry. And he’s in charge. What he hopes to achieve by instituting tariffs is oh look he already forgot and now he’s golfing and using DEI instead of the N-word.
What you said, and: He wants to 1. Alienate allies, and weaken NATO. 2. He had some nutty plan about using revenue from tariffs to help him overhaul the tax structure.
Trudeau was asked tonight when was it he last spoke to Trump and he said at the inauguration.
What this means? Trump is scared of Trudeau and doesn't want to talk to him. So it's Trump's my way or the highway when it comes to 'negotiations'.
Trump signed tariffs against Canada, Mexico, and China on 2-1-25.
Tariffs to take effect 2-4-25.

Have fun wiping with your hand
I sincerely hope that Trump’s supporters see what has happened here. “Law and order” is hundreds of FBI agents illegally fired; cheaper groceries, insurance and healthcare is 25% more expensive imported goods. The GOP should be very scared.
Canada and Mexico should begin trade talks with China immediately with the intent to fully replace their 'American' trading partners with Chinese trade partners. America has become an unreliable trading partner... it's time to step away.
25% #tariffs on Canada & Mexico; 10% on China. Gotcha. Nothing says ‘America First’ like making sure inflation stays on the ballot in 2026. If this is the new economic doctrine, better hope domestic manufacturing scales overnight. If not, enjoy your $6 avocados and $60 T-shirts. #Politics #Economics
Oh, please, the only thing he "aims to achieve" is to bully them. He's pathetic, and so are you if you're going to treat his bizarre behavior as if it isn't batshit crazy.
