Canada

Dude thinks tariffs are Uno cards.

I get why the USA doesn't see Melania anywhere ...... If I'd say half the things he said, my wife would not show herself to anyone either. If i'd say all of it she'd be gone far far far away long before i finished babbling

Not to mention the "Governor Trudeau" extra-dumb.

God I hate politics-by-Twitter. I'm appalled that the US is turning into a fascist country, but I'm even more appalled by how pathetic, puerile and trashy the US' new fascist overlords are. At least Hitler dressed in Hugo Boss and made speeches that enthralled people: MAGA dresses like tramps, Steve Bannon-stylee and bullies other countries like kids on the playground.

There goes my crown again...

I like that Trudeau announced he was fucking leaving and before he could get his ass out the door and let someone else take the lead, all this shit happens because Trump was elected.

What a fucking circus.

In 6 months, he's going to be talking about how Canada started this trade war.

@imvii Perhaps since little donny says he does not need anything from Canada we should shut off his electric and oil now. That would be before he could effectively replace it.

Canada is already going to trade more with us in Europe.

Akin to Putin invading Ukraine, the tariffs aren’t a trade war, they’re a Stupid Economic Operation.

Ok it's starting to feel like a game now. Can we cause American hyperinflation by a targeted tariff feedback loop?

It will be a shit show until Canada and the rest of the western world work out agreements independent of the US.

The real problem is that Trump's supporters don't understand tariffs, and wouldn't believe the explanation anyway because to them it just sounds like Orange Man Bad.

When the US imposes a tariff on Canada, importers of Canadian goods pay the tariff to the US government. To recover that cost they raise the prices they charge American customers. So Americans end up paying the tariff. The only damage it does to Canada is that the tariff could discourage US importers from buying certain goods from Canada if they can get them somewhere else without paying a tariff. That happens in some cases, but in others Canada is already the cheapest (or only) source of a high-demand item, so Americans will just pay the higher prices - the way they're still paying jacked-up COVID prices for so many things, for example.

Millions of Americans, being too dumb or unwilling to grasp this, think these tariffs are Trump heroically saving them from the evils of foreigners who want to destroy their Freedom.
