FAFO. Might be fun and games for Donnie but the US has irreparably damaged the relationship between us.

Good! Do not give one inch!!!!!

daranglenn.bsky.social•5 days ago

Do not appease. Also do not deal with him. The deal he is breaking is his own. He is not a reliable actor and the free world will be better off to leave the us behind.

clodpool.bsky.social•5 days ago

Yup. Isolate us, leave us behind, move on as much as possible. Thats the best way you can help “blue” Americans, too. Break the bully.

boekeloo.bsky.social•5 days ago

Canada has a president that can punch up. We have a bully that can only punch down and wears a diaper.

shotze3.bsky.social•5 days ago

He is our Prime Minister. And yes he punches. Hard.

boekeloo.bsky.social•5 days ago

Realized that as soon as I posted. Need edit button.

dtmilne.bsky.social•5 days ago

Good. The two countries have a free-trade agreement - one that Trump re-negotiated in his first term. The use of IEEPA due to fentanyl is an unjustified over-reach of power. Congress should grow a spine and call it out for what it is.

mrmucketymuck.bsky.social•5 days ago

He should keep his tariffs on just to punish us for supporting Putin.

notnerb.bsky.social•5 days ago

keep those alcohol off the shelves too

stuadel.bsky.social•5 days ago

Good. Else trump will treat you like a yoyo, changing daily. All or nothing. The orange moron thinks this is a game.

tashajsmith.bsky.social•5 days ago

Thank you Canada. ❤️

lisafarrar.bsky.social•5 days ago

Good.

wmperk.bsky.social•5 days ago

They should place an export tax on the goods Trump exempts. Our "partners" need to turn the tariffs into a game of who is willing to suffer more. The US populace being split will cave first.

connieinminne.bsky.social•5 days ago

There is no “oops” we keep threatening your sovereignty.

redmist27.bsky.social•5 days ago

Absolutely 👍 I support this, Trump will micro adjust to exhausting levels. Stop the jerk around. Oh this then 25%, then delay then 10%, then not on auto, then we double if u retaliate then delay 1 month again. Trump, Canada is done with game playing

Tough shit. The US wanted to pull this shit on us, deal with it. We're down with Krasnov's stupidity. #ElbowsUp Canada

bethbbeliving.bsky.social•5 days ago

Now, who holds the cards?

Trump is so beyond weak, and the Republicans that keep him there are somehow weaker.

can59.bsky.social•5 days ago

Rightly so. No meeting halfway. Any tariff is wrong. Accept nothing but zero tariffs. Stand your ground Mr. Trudeau. True North Strong and Free.

jvsylvester.bsky.social•5 days ago

When you confront Trump with a forceful response, he's likely to back off. His book should have been "The Art of Whiny, Weak Compromise."

Trump confuses Extortion for Diplomacy.

Canadians are not playing his game.

Congressional Rs can learn from Canada. 🍁

Good! That’s how our closest ally should fight back, with their full chest!

warriorrabbit.bsky.social•5 days ago

Good. Hold fast, Canada. Kneecap him and then kick him in the balls and kidneys while he's down. Please. Also, coordinate with Mexico and squeeze.

vieuxhipster.bsky.social•5 days ago

100% my support. This administration cannot be trusted for any deal. They will change it again in 30 days. Make them HURT.

Americans will react like the man at the end of this clip which is an excerpt from "Round Trip: The USA in World Trade" 1952 - how #tariffs exacerbated the Great Depression⬇️

Like I said earlier today, Trump sent his guy out to stop the market from falling. they had and have no deal, market manipulation.

I love this guy more by the minute.

Trump just endlessly playing games. Someone finally standing up to this bitch.

Thank goodness there are always 2 sides to a game of hardball.

jvsylvester.bsky.social•5 days ago

Trump rarely plays true hardball. If he can claim even the appearance of victory, he'll fold.

And why would he?!

Accept for personal grievances the memory of past relationships no longer seems to matter. https://realmsofmemory.com

marymaggie.bsky.social•5 days ago

trump has no clue - he's talking to auto makers about a potential 30 day delay - like that will make a difference

you can't change supply chain & put production lines in place within a month

the volatility and uncertainty will be his downfall
