Trump raises tariffs on Canada 10%...because of an ad

Actually, it seems they are and making bank in the process, ATM.
This, from yesterday:

Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq hold record highs as Fed due to begin two-day policy meeting; earnings in focus; gold falls further below $4,000

Name Price Chang % Chg

Dow 47,544.59 +337.47 0.71%

S&P 500 6,875.16 +83.47 1.23%

Nasdaq 23,637.46 +432.59 1.86%

VIX 15.86 +0.07 0.44%

Gold 3,931.40 -88.30 -2.20%

Oil 60.49 -0.82 -1.34%

Psssst... did ya catch that Oil #?
Might just be heading to that $2.00 p/gal sooner, rather than later.

To address the premise "because of an ad":
It wasn't an add. It was gas lighting via false pretenses, i.e. deceptive editing.
Oh sure.
Some might call it lying and they would be correct. Originally Posted by Why_Yes_I_Do

It was an ad, discussing free trade.
Cracker me barrel, mate.......stock down almost 40% since Trump got involved.
Trump has a long way to catch up to the Biden adminstration.

Great ad! Takes so little to get Twitler sopping wet.

Pot meet kettle. Maybe His Assholiness will sue Canada for the same reason he demanded money from CBS-Paramount.

I think you could find a shit ton of examples where respected Republicans over the years commented then on the dangers of policies that the Turd Reich has adopted now.

Tariffs is just one of them.

Context is unchanged. Blame Canada.

Trump changing tariffs due to this is one of the most stupifying things Trump has done.

It is our patriotic duty to help the President strike fear into the hearts of our most loyal allies like Canada fear us. They must be reminded they only exist as a so-called independent nation at the pleasure of our Glorious Leader.

Anyone who says otherwise is a radical crocker croaker.

Fuck Canada anyways, eh! They can all piss up a rope.
