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

VitaMan's Avatar
Another demonstration of how worthless agreements with Trump are.

The damage he has done to American businesses and people is incalculable. Americans pay the tariffs. Canadian businesses also suffer.

When Trump continues changing tariffs on a whim, no one is able to plan for the future. That may be the worst aspect.
... Nope, NOT on a whim, but because of the advert.

Looks like Canada should o' planned for the future BEFORE they
ran the ad. ...

All the above are correct.

About the only thing you can say is Trump gets triggered easily...to the detremint of everyone else.
Defense of this is fucking DERANGED.

He has trained MAGA in that so thoroughly. These tariffs hurt all, including them. And they accept it willingly! For no real reason whatsoever, except to placate Trump's fragile ego.

And, of course, to further the hate and divisiveness. MAGA will gladly pay more tariffs to do that.

Insane.

It's not about the tariff it's about leveling the playing field. Our trading terms have been unfavorable to the US. That has to stop. We're not the world free economic development zone. We are a nation, a people, with a distinct culture that deserves to come before any foreign nations interests.. economic or otherwise.
Last time Canada tried acting tough their economy tanked and unemployment spiked.Carney got on a plane to Washington to kiss some a**.Trump ain't no TACO just ask Iran and Venezuela

Just what this country needs: an old fart who tanks others economies if he doesn't have a bowel movement.
All the above are correct.

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.

Teach them to complain!

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.
