He’s such an idiot. Claims to be a business genius but all he has to show for his years of work is bankruptcies, fraud, failures, and convictions. He’s trying to ruin the US economy as per the instructions of Musk, another incompetent, racist, tool. Of course Canada would respond. Anyone would.
Trump is using OUR MONEY to pay for this foolish trade war.
Tariffs are TAXES paid by the company that IMPORTS the good INTO the U.S. You know who those importers are? US companies. You know who they sell to (mostly)? US consumers. You know who pays those tariffs? US consumers. He is screwing us!
Trump’s tariff hike on Canadian steel and aluminum is a tantrum disguised as policy. It punishes Canada for no good reason while driving up costs for U.S. manufacturers and consumers. In the end, his ego-driven move hurts American markets just as much as Canada’s.
Very good reason. Trump wants Canada, and thinks if he can somehow destroy our economy, we'll come running. I've got news for ya. How the hell this became about Canada is beyond me, but this will end very badly for all of us. An invasion can't be far off. Total lies about the border etc Good voting.
Here goes Diaper Don, deepening the trade war. The markets won’t like this one.
Still nothing being done on campaign promises, but it’s a Trump….his supporters know he lies to everyone anyway
Let him scream...nobody will take his random "tariff" / "no tariff" decisions seriously anymore. The only thing that is sure, that all this self created uncertainty and chaos will make life much more expensive....stable genius....
50% huh?Tank the auto industry bcuz they hurt his feelings and retaliated against his foolishness.He’s mystified that Canada told him to get screwed instead of kissing his ass like his coward caucus.
How many times do we have to repeat HE negotiated USMCA. He agreed to everything in it. Now he’s grossly overstating 390% tariffs on dairy. Of course his messaging is only to rile up his supporters so they’ll repeat it.
Turns out he *doesn’t* like playing the game after all. He’s no match with Doug Ford. Doug is mad, as are all Canadians and we’re behind him! Turn the lights out!!! stupid stupid president.
Well @bloomberg.com your audience of financiers voted for this criminal idiot. Did they all want their country destroyed for the sake of phantom dollars?
Come on Doug Ford - stop sending electricity to the US now. And good luck to Boeing and other manufacturers without high quality, cheap aluminum……..buy Airbus shares now.
Fingerprint every US resident who wants to enter Canada and up the tariffs on electricity to 51% they need that harder than they need your steel Europe could buy that
Ok now he has made it more expensive, again . By doing that the people will lose jobs due to cut backs and pay more to live. A win win for who? Not us.
wooohooooo you moron thanks for hurting Americans more every single day!! I only wish we could FedEx the results to all of your red freaking States but don't worry it'll get there Mr Trump the villagers are surrounding the house they have come for the......

This is ridiculous… He’s back in his casino days, he wasn’t good at it then & he’s not good at it now.
