Trump promised to make everything cheaper. Now he's slapping tariffs on Mexico and Canada. Hope you're ready to pay more for avocados, smartphones, and -- DEAR GOD -- the toilet paper Trump seems to endlessly use for his "10 to 15 flushes"

It might happen, but I think it's more likely that he's lying. He does lie a lot, after all. It seems like a lot of Americans are forgetting that lately.
FFS. Both toilet paper and the wood pulp used to make it are domestic. Stop making up bullshit we have plenty of real issues here. You’re getting just as bad as them.
I'm Canadian, and I think the only immigrants that will be coming across the northern border are Americans fleeting into Canada. You are welcome at my place, David, if you want to escape lol
I got a quote on doors for my house today. The door salesman said that their medium-sized company's president sent a message to employees last night to prepare for prices to go up starting in December due to anticipated Trump tariffs.
I know price rises are inevitable with tariffs and will be a difficult pill to swallow for most. However, people did vote for a disrupter. Wouldn't the new norm be better for US manufacturing in the long run?
Only after Trump fails will the cult behind him break.
Too many "experts" know nothing of history.
If they did, expert opinions & focus would be different.
Ask URself why it's so important to use the military at the borders.
What happens in history when the cult following breaks & conditions worsen?
No way in hell will Trump “fix” high prices by imposing tariffs and deporting farm workers. Prices will skyrocket and the poorest people will suffer the most.
Canada and Mexico can fix the border issue, and not have to pay tariffs, right? I think the pathway to a better life is pretty clear. If they enforced their laws, we wouldn't have to hit them with tariffs.
Let me take this out of the realm of “cost of living”. We here in Canada share the longest undefended border in the world with you. We are your largest trading partner and steadfast ally. Trump and the GOP are willing to piss all over this to score cheap, partisan political points.
Lindsey Graham, the Grima Wormtongue of the GOP, stated that the US “should destroy” the economy of Canada if we don’t abandon our support for the International Criminal Court.
I’m still shocked on a daily basis by how disconnected from reality Trump supporters are. In a WSJ article from today it quotes a Trump supporter who was “blindsided” by this news. BLINDSIDED!?!? As if he didn’t brag about tariffs constantly throughout his campaign.
What is the plan here? Is this some kind of late stage capitalism end run to crash the global economy so billionaires can buy literally everything for pennies on the dollar?
He isn't now slapping tariffs on Mexico and Canada, he is threatening to do so in the future. It's his negotiation thing. Think of all the times he said he'd do something he didn't end up doing. Yeah I know, zinger incoming. The bias our side has towards him clouds our vision of him though.
Trump can and will impose the #TrumpTax. It’s a tax he has power over that’s why he loves it. All other taxation goes through congress which he hates using. Hope you like inflation 😂😂😂
And most companies won't make the investment because the situation is likely to be short-term compared to the life of a factory and training a work force.
Toilet paper is primarily made in the United States, with more than 99% of tissue products used by Americans produced domestically. Major manufacturers like Procter & Gamble, Georgia-Pacific, and Kimberly-Clark operate multiple plants across the country, ensuring a steady supply of toilet paper.
The fact that the incoming administration has in many ways inspired other nations to "punish" The United States should be very telling.
We should be working with our closest neighbors to improve diplomatic and economic relations so as to improve our standing on the world stage.
They're just evil.
I used to (15 years ago) respect Republicans even though I disagree cause you could talk and they cared about the would view. Modern right who are yelling out loud don't understand the world. It's a shame. And even the right who understand the world are the modern quite majority
I’m not actually getting upset at any of this shit anymore until it actually happens. We waste so much energy on all that crazy bullshit and get distracted from the real problems. Remember the wall? Ended up being a couple mile of new fencing.
I believe this goes against what he declared his pentacle achievement, the USMCA, the replacement for NAFTA. I believe that there are provisions to negate tariffs for items traded between countries in the trade zone.
Yah just like he respected the Iran nuclear deal and the European claimant agreement or NATO. Trump could give a shit about agreements. But yah keep justifying his bad behavior and enjoy the inflation!!! 🎈
lumber prices will increase, affecting home building costs; good thing Donald Trump Jr just coincidently purchased 3,900 acres of forest land in Maine.
My opinion is trump will be the face of the white House, Steven Miller and the rest of the slime ball cronies will be running the show and telling trump what to do and say.
American imports its toilet peper from Canada, China, Mexico, Germany, and Israel. In the Navy you learn to only use three sheets, so get used to it come #TrumpTariffs.
Don’t forget price of wood going up! Construction industry will be in shambles with this and their workers being deported! This is what they voted for.
I feel like my cells are going to all just spontaneously combust. Could there be a bigger dumb dumb?! I'm so sick of his retribution mindset.
Let's make enemies with our neighbors! Who could possibly think this would be smart?
THE JOKE IZ ON YOO PAKMAN!! I DONT YUZE TOYLIT PAYPER! I HAV AN ASSISTENT HOO WIPES MY ASS AFTER IVE HAD ONE UV MY PERFECT CRAPS!! AN SHE YUZEZ SILK HANKERCHEEFZ!! SHE ENDZ WITH A SOOTHIN BABY WIPE WITH ALOW VEERA!! SUMTIMEZ I JUST CRAP IN MY DYPER!
Oh he does. It’s just a show. Underneath it all are some sick games that benefit no one. He’s way too stupid to be a sole artist of all these plans so he obviously does listen to his advisors. However…hubris and stuff, who knows, maybe this time he goes all in by his stupid self.
Why aren't you commenting on Joe Biden news that he tanked negotiated open primary after leaving the race? We could have had Newsom or Buttigeig, or literally anyone with leadership skills/experience fighting for us. But instead, Big Baby Biden couldn't help but wipe his butt with democratic process
had a conversation with a Guy on a jet and he thinks only way companies and china and mexico and canada avoid inflation is they trade on crypto, as the trade use of crypto would surge demand and crypto prices higher. crypto might benefit from trump’s tariffs but would be bad for trump and us dollar.
I still don't understand how it could be legal given he negotiated USMCA. He has to frame the tariffs as national security or unfair trade practices then get approval from the relevant Congressional department. How does he explain how is own deal is unfair or a security threat?
With dumps like his, 2000 Flushes doesn’t last long in his gold-plated toilets. But good news for him, it’s made is the ole’ US OF A, so they might avoid tariffs!
Everyone needs to go out and take pictures of the prices of food we import from these places. Then wave it in your family's faces if they voted for trump
Yesterday, avocados at a kroger in Atlanta were $2.79 for a medium sized one. I use to pay $.25 in Cali, so that was hard to swallow. They will go bad if they cost more!!
P.S. Think about it - if your diet is full of sodas, Mickey D's and the Colonel, 10-15 flushes probably is not unusual!
The personal detail about Trump at the end is too much. You risk becoming tabloid.
Trump is already a disgusting individual when you merely accept the promises that he has repeatedly made. He is a clear and present danger to the vast majority of United States citizens.
call them commieservatives now, because atm they have a lot in common with Soviet Union, after they spent years calling me a communist for wanting social programs for the poor lol
Can you tell us why he suddenly dropped the percentage he wanted to tariff China so drastically and was so drastic with Canada and Mexico? Did he make a deal with China? I also don't remember him ever talking about Canada being a problem.
Wouldn't that be a violation of his own treaty - the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) that he created to replace NAFTA - a plan he bragged about all during his campaign?

I know it seems excessive, but I have like 5 packs of toilet paper in my basement. lol 😂
Now wait for:
1) inflation
2) counter moves (similar tariffs increases on U.S.)
3) trade wars (eyes will be different on U.S. now)
Tariffs is a sign of crisis. Pretty odd since U.S. has the best economy in the world after 4 Biden years.
Trump will divide/split the West. Russia will be happy and proud of him.
It comes from Canada buddy.
Trump was conceived during anal, dropped into the toilet with a huge bigly splash.
Fred and Mary tried flushing 10-15 times, but no luck.
And here we are

Hopes of fortune sink like stone,
Loss defines his schemes.
These refineries can only refine Canadian crude and would take years and huge sums of money to be repurposed to refine domestic US crude.
Expect a 25-75c per gallon increase on the west coast and in the Midwest.
Companies won't move unless their products become too expensive.
It only works if it's inflationary.
New jobs at new factories cost millions. And you're going to pay for it. And that won't make prices go back down.
“So the demand for American lumber will increase, right?”
“Yes. And we will clear-cut the entire Pacific Northwest to fill that demand!”
We should be working with our closest neighbors to improve diplomatic and economic relations so as to improve our standing on the world stage.

Canada and Mexico
Just to name a few things.

Trump doesn't flush for the same reason as most.
