Donald Trump on Thursday announced a 35% tariff on Canadian imports, starting Aug. 1, citing that Ottawa had retaliated with tariffs against Washington.
“Instead of working with the United States, Canada retaliated with its own Tariffs,” Trump said in his letter to Mark Carney, prime minister of Canada, posted on Truth Social.
Trump is named in the Epstein files.
Trump cut NOAA and FEMA funding before flash flooding killed over 200 people in Texas including two dozen Christian girls.
And why does the fact that the two dozen girls were in a cult matter?
Matters to his voters.
It all about the optics. You say 200 people died people won’t care as much, you say 200 girls died and and THEY WERE GOOD CHRISTIANS, you appeal to a lot of Americans.
God has no tolerance for traitors. You see, God discovered that they supported the Devil in secret, so he sent a flood to kill them. It’s a message to help the surviving Texans remember their true allegiance.
To me, I think it’s worth pointing out the hypocrisy of the “the gays caused hurricane Sandy/Katrina/etc” people.
It matters to the cult that they were in.
Is this an alt or are there two of you in this thread?
Enacting tariffs against our trading partners, and excellent neighbors, as well as allies, is an act of war. It puts America in ‘national security’ peril. We are not being attacked by Canada or Mexico. It’s putin’s Russia you need to be concerned about, you orange cancer.
In Trumps addled mind, Canada not buying US milk is a national security threat.
That’s giving him way too much credit; he clearly doesn’t care about national security.
Look Mark, can I call you Mark? I’ve got a mangled tiny penis, and I compensate for it in many different and weird ways. Sometimes it’s raping woman or girls. Other times, it is saying and doing awful racist things. Sometimes it is just doing nonsensical things. Mark, the girls in the pee pee tape laughed at it. Anyways, that’s why Canada has to pay 35% tariffs.
Jeebus, I died. Lol

Why not now? Why wait till Aug 1? Just make it so.
You know why? He’s fishing for more concessions.
Canada should just say fuck it and raise the digital sale tax and then fling fentanyl across the border with trebuchets.
Stock. Market. Manipulation.
lets reinstate that digital sales tax and triple it, fuck em.
Yes, nobody should do any accommodation to trump. You only loose. He will demand more and make the same threats again, typical bully.
People tried appeasement with the Nazis as well… Didn’t work out so well.
Dee’s a bird and Trump’s a turd

Good thing they dropped the digital service tax for US companies…
They can bring it back just as easily
… and the gain from dropping it was???
Some people just like to get fucked
And not in the fun way!
But they already lost the advantage they had. The point of the retaliatory tariffs are not to make money, but to send a message.
They’ve already sent a message that they can tolerate Trump’s bullshit as long as it doesn’t hurt them too much when they backed down on the digital service tax.
Bringing it back now is a lot less effective than implementing it the first time around while still hurting Canadians the same amount.
Yeah right, what a bullshit theater…
That was daft.
Feckless and weak.
Er, “instead of caving to our unreasonable demands, they’ve responded in kind.”
It’s like Russia and Ukraine. Trump, if you want to work with Canada, just remove the trade barriers.
It really is that stupid.
i.e. his rich buddies called him up and said “we need/want more money, go manipulate the market again” to which Trump said “sure i’ll fuck with Canada some more”
that’s all this is. Carney needs to stop playing nice and start up the digital service tax again.
🌮
They’ll be gone by next week.
T.A.C.O.
I just want my country to treat our citizens and allies right. Canada did nothing against us. Sure they did get us hooked on a few of their musicians and introduced pizza with pineapple, but that’s friend dick moves not enemy dick moves.
They also gave us Steven Crowder, so idk. /s
And we ain’t taking him back.
in all fairness, we yeeted that one over the border with a trebuchet
And Rafael/Ted Cruz.
Is that the art of the deal or petulant flailing?
Or? Didn’t you mean “is”.
I think in this case it’s yet another example of brazen market manipulation.
Congress doesn’t seem to care. Amd the people aren’t letting congress know their displeasure, so, uh, it’s what the American people want?
It’s like pushing a button that you think is hurting the guy on the other side of the table, only to look under the table and realize the wires aren’t connected to anything and they were just having you on.
In violation of the trade agreement HE negotiated just a couple years ago.
