Canada retaliates with tariffs

[SubbaBub]

Did they really? Or was this plan all along. Announce tariffs over the weekend load up during the inevitable stock market drop them Announce, "never mind" making a big profit.

Rinse and repeat. It's right up there with following the trading patterns of Congress critters.

Mexico caved.

Disagree.

Whether or not they actually caved is irrelevant, because you will be told they caved. That's all that matters now.

On that we agree. He literally solved a problem HE caused. But his little ignorant minions will eat it up.

I just read a quip that said, Trump will throw you in a well, then throw a bucket, pull you up and take credit for saving you.

I read something along those lines but it involved fire.

That means there is no way to avoid the Trump cataclysm until the people that voted for him, turn on him. Those of us who saw this coming and tried to stop it have nothing to do but watch and wait.

Then what? We are 2 weeks into a four year term and there are still 99 weeks before the result of the interim election (if they even take place.) take effect...assuming Democrats take both chambers. No matter what Felon47 does, there is little risk of getting convicted on impeachment.

Even if the bulk of The Cult says The Light and turns, Loyal senators are already imbedded and they don't listen to their constituents in the first place. Are there 20 Senators willing to risk their power and maybe their life? I doubt it.

 

[Husky25]

Mexico caved. Canada will have to too. Orange man hero. Distraction a success.

No they didn't.

 

[Husky25]

To be completely honest, I thought Felon47 wouldn't back down if only because malignant megalomaniacal narcissists believe they are always correct and have to prove it.

Mexico won. Trump looks like a fool if he claims any sort of victory.

I'm not part of his cult but I am part of a "cult" who lost a child to fentanyl poisoning. I mentioned this several years back on the leach field. I know the parents in my survivor groups are happy he is following through with the campaign promises and trying to close the open border and trying to reduce the flow of fentanyl into the country. Tariffs were part of that plan. We would gladly exchange paying more for gas or orange juice to have our children back. I know parents who may lose a child over the next few years would take the chance of paying more now if they knew their child would survive. We hope that this is a temporary negotiating tool and will bring Mexico, China and Canada to the table to come up with a plan.

Last year, law enforcement intercepted about 19 kilograms of fentanyl at the US-Canada border. At the southern border, agents seized 9,600 kilograms. The idea that Canada is a major source of drugs is a lie, and this admin is hoping you’re stupid enough to believe it.

Breitbart?

Well, they are being aired in the pentagon now and Leavitt says they're widely accepted.

The dupes think they got a big win today. That's not good.

I actually had someone tell me this morning not to worry about the stock market because the tariffs would be backed off. He's gloating right now and he thinks Trump's tactic worked.

It always about the announcement and only the announcement. Zelensky didn't have to investigate Joe Biden to get his arms aid against Russia, he just had to announce one.

There are no documents in those stacks of folders, it's just blank paper.

Mexico will pay for the wall.

Now we can add, there won't be retribution and I don't know anything about Project 2025.

The only things you can reasonably trust are the midnight social media threats he sends out while sitting on the toilet. Those are his unfiltered thoughts, still filled with lies, but he means what he says.

Stock market tanked and every outlet was running a real time tracker from his tariff announcement. He caved and Mexico threw him a bone by adding (checks notes) 3 border patrol guards for every mile of the US/Mexico border. That ought to solve things.

He is Sideshow Bob stepping on rakes. Don't believe the makeup they try to apply to his action. They're idiotic through and through.
