Please encourage your leaders to step up where the US will fail over the next 4 years. For your own good you guys are going to have to put the US in time out until we decide to act like adults again
Once upon a time the British used to help u well we did when the USA wanted to burn down someone of your buildings so the British came a knocking to the White House and set it ablaze but shame the president at the time got intel that we was coming probably by the France even the USA needed allies to get their independence France and Italy helped
We really do not have that many coming in to the US from Canada for long stays. They came over on Visas during Covid last time to help out as doctors and nurses and their Visa would expire. But it did not mean they wanted to stat. The cost of the Visa was astronomical.

I'm Canadian. My husband is a Canadian working in the US. He provides an essential skillset in the pharmaceutical industry that Americans haven't been able or willing to do. It's been a huge sacrifice for our family for him to be there, essentially since 2020. But guess what? Tomorrow is his last day. He's coming home, and he's not going back. Trump doesn't even realize the widespread effects of his hatred because he doesn't care. He does not care if the average person suffers.

Elon doing the Nazi salute wasn't a good impression to make on the world, and that was just MINUTES within Trump being inaugurated.

Trump said today he wants a 10% tariff on all Chinese imports.. 25% tariff on Canadian and Mexican imports. It seems that China and Russia are Trump's closest allies.
He is literally a PSYCHOPATH. Not necessarily the sadistic personal murdering kind, but he has NO empathy or care for anyone but himself & his ego. Symptoms of Psychopath - Lack of empathy Manipulation Deceit Having a big ego Lack of remorse Limited emotional responses Recklessness Impulsivity Behavioral problems (especially among children) Violence or aggression Many people with psychopathy maintain an outwardly normal appearance and even appear charming and witty. Although psychopathy is often associated with criminality, the defining features of psychopathy are the above personality traits, not violent or criminal behavior. Some people with psychopathy are also considered “integrated psychopaths” due to their nonviolent tendencies. Other people living with this condition may be defined as “successful psychopaths” in that they are quite successful throughout their lives and harness aspects of psychopathy that benefit their individual growth, such as confidence, congeniality, and fearlessness. - From - Healthline All About Psychopathy By Brittany Dube, MPH Published on March 20, 2024
We can't be surprised. He said he was going to do it, but what we can do is keep reminding everybody because 57% of americans were against it. They didn't believe that Trump would really do it, he did. It's now our job to remind them every single day.
It's like releasing the conferdate soldiers and sympathizers all over again. It's like we never lear our own fucking lessons. Keep letting traitors to our country walk amongst us
I am so sick of this. My coworkers were rebutting my "he is gonna make everything unaffordable by imposing tariffs on our allies" with "He would never actually do that" These people are so incredibly dumb I can't even fathom it. I mean he TOLD THEM HE WAS GOING TO DO THIS. IN PLAIN ENGLISH. NO SARCASM.
No brains. No headaches. These simpletons may NEVER accept that it was Trump who caused the pain we’re all about to feel. That’s pure stupid right there.
They are detached from reality like all cult members. The magas don't perceive the world in a normal manner which makes them very dangerous as we have seen.
Fr! They keep saying “he won’t actually do it, I know he said it but it’s just for effect”, like no? Every time he tells you people who he is and how he will mess us up and they STILL fall for it. EVERY. TIME. You would think there would be some memory of the dozens of times this has happened before and more worry about it being tariffs on an ally but apparently most of them didn’t know or look it up until AFTER the election. The stupidity knows no bounds
They're in denial and somewhere I don't even blame them.... just imagine having contributed to a new crisis, the global breakdown of allied communications, increased agression but most importantly... having elected a potential nazi-sympathetic dictator wannabe
As an American...most Americans are under educated, misinformed, low information mouth-breathers. Over 30% of US citizens cannot read past the 10th grade level. 43% are not just fat...but obese.
Most Americans are also standing with Canada and Mexico. They are our allies and trade partners who did no wrong and are the reason we still have food,ect. They don’t deserve this at all, they don’t deserve being harmed by the idiot people are starting to have buyers remorse over or have hated him since before his first presidency. They shouldn’t have to suffer with us.
Trump was very clear at one of his campaign rally’s I saw, where he told the audience, “I don’t care bout you, but I need your vote”, he smiled and the crowd laughed, but he was serious, look at what he does, not what he says! 💙🇺🇸🇺🇦
Musk interfered in the elections, using Starlink remember trump said he had a secret, must said on Joe Rogan you can hack anything, musk knew the results 4 hours before the polls closed, Greg palast and Duncan Buell DATA scientist and experts found that some folks votes were missing especially the black folks,also some folks were suppressed and threatened at the polling stations
I remember the tarrifs on China in 2018. I worked for a manufacturing company and we imported steel from China. We mostly did government work. When the tarrifs hit all of our projects came to a halt. Within weeks half of the staff, myself included, lost our jobs because of it. This will be disasterous.
Yes. He may have saved 300 steel jobs, but cost 37000 jobs from the industries that use that steel. And then, China put retalitory tariffs on soybeans, and we had to bail out farmers to the tune of billions. Lord, he is a moron. And evidently, just enough idiots stayed home, or worse, voted for the convicted felon. We are screwed.
It’s because we don’t need to be supporting a communist government even if it means cutting off trade from china because we don’t need to be supporting a communist government who is also friends with the sociopath known as Putin
Agreed. Tariffs are a losing situation on all sides. Not sure how people believe otherwise. It's the dumbest thing to do in a time when everything is so expensive to begin with. Hoping you've been able to recover since that situation in 2018. I'm in Canada, we are just as concerned about the tariffs, even though we wouldn't be paying for them. It'll effect us in a very negative way.
Has anyone ever thought...what is his motivation to destroy the economy!!!! Trust me, he has a reason!! He is not that stupid. He just wants us to believe he is. He is more demonic and evil Makes sense he would not touch the bible when he was sworn in.
@@MG-im8ku As an American this will probably strain our relationship with our allies. The US is starting to prove itself as an unreliable trading partner by punishing its allies for very ridiculous reasons. The fact that our citizens don't hold people like Trump accountable for it unless it directly affects them is only going to lead to a gradual weaning off of reliance on US trade and if that happens the damage from that will be irreversible.
I live in the UK and have been doing work on tariffs since Brexit. It’s not just the tariffs that cause increased costs but all the admin associated with them. Please wake up America. Renaming the Gulf of Mexico doesn’t deliver health care or lower costs. I was born and educated in America. I am on your side!
I'm at a point where I don't even care how much I am going to suffer because of the tariffs and trade wars. I just want MAGA to feel the pain and be forced to accept that they have been uninformed, ignorant fools. Please keep up the good fight because I am going to need intelligent people such as yourself keeping me sane.
And when they start to bitch and Whine about it. YELL into their Faces and accuse them of being the SOLE Fkin REASON for CAUSING this mess in the First Place.! Then quietly walk away shaking your head. THEN, ...Take ten paces, Turn and Point a finger at them and say...? .... "NOT ANOTHER FKIN WORD" !!! And Walk Away.!
They won't accept it or accept that they were duped by that pathological liar. They can't they are in a cult. TO accept the horrible truth would be too much maturity for them and require some critical thinking which they are incapable of. I have tried so hard all my life not to hate. But Lord, help me I hate that man and all his lying maggots and cohorts..

We in Canada arent laughing, but this has seriousy strained the relationship between our two countries. Canada was probably America's strongest and best friend, how much crap would you take from your best friend before you just say screw it? One sided relationships ae not worth the energy to maintain. Canada is looking for new trading partners, of this I am 100% positive.

It would be better for us Canadians if we did that ...and cut off many other things we export to the US. Which our leaders have been discussing. Imposing tariffs can be done as well, but leaves us Canucks paying...not ideal. We supply precious minerals, metals, potash, lumber, cars and parts, some fruits and produce, some dairy products. If we chose to withhold those, we would have to seek other markets, but that's doable.
I hope they do, I generally hope the international response to those tariffs isn't catering to america, but searching for other markets and stop exporting goods to america if they want to be great again I'm sure they can do that on their own
@@Gwennedd We , Canada, have Asia, and the EU , and the Commonwealth of nations (NO USA) as lifelong trade partners. They are further, but friendlier, for the next 4 years. We will be OK, but pain for sure.

From the history of Banana Republics, "Politically, they were ruled by a corrupt authoritarian government beholden to the interests of international companies and a small circle of wealthy elite." Banana Republic USA is official.
And don't forget as far as tariffs are concerned, 25% tariff doesn't mean prices will rise only 25%. Most companies will raise their prices say 35% because they see that prices are going up 25% to cover the tariff but will add 10% or so to enlarge their profits.
Trump had to give back nearly half of all the tariff revenue he collected because his tarrifs were so disastrous for the American farmer. He even bragged about bailing them out!!! Twisted logic indeed!

This is how dictators who do not execute military coups get and maintain power. No, I am not predicting this fire. I am hoping that Trump's main interest in becoming president again was to stay out of jail and profit monetarily off of the office, knowing that he can commit every crime in the book, claim he was carrying out his duties as president, and with a "Supine" Court on his side, get away with everything, claiming as another president who got put in his place if not in jail, did, "If the president does it, it's not illegal."

Fellow Canuck here. Do you think retaliatory tariffs are self defeating? I wonder if we're better off just selling them whatever they want and if they wanna charge themselves more its on them. Just thinking our economy will already suffer enough.
The oil and natural gas Canada exports to the US is sold at significantly less than world market prices. If Canada now asks for full market value, and a 25% tariff is imposed on top of that increase, then Americans will pay much more to heat or cool their homes and to fill their car gas tanks.
Prognosis: gas will get more expensive. Trump will blame the evil Canadians for ripping off the poor innocent Americans, declare it a hostile act and use it as a pretense to invade.
And Canada is now talking favourably for expanding the oil and Natural Gas pipelines from the Edmonton oil shale shield to the Pacific - and building an alternative Refinery and LNG port there. That'll hit the refineries in Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas. He's so stupid... he's pandering to the nativists, isolationists and those in his circle who either want China and Russia to win, or who are just idiots.
Either that, or import from Russia now that Europe no longer buys from them, and has an economy going belly up, putting America beholden to the whims of his puppetmaster, Vlad.

From the man who kept shouting, "They're eating the cats! They're eating the dogs!" Trump is to diplomacy what Mike Tyson is to being the head ballerina at the Bolshoi.
EU, Canada and Mexico should make a 4 year free trade agreement, with the requirement that each country block trade with the US. Other countries are welcome to participate.
I couldn't agree more. The almost half-billion consumers in the EU would be more than happy to trade with our friends in North (and South) America and bypass Trump's Magaverse for the next four years!
As a German I would say that we need more than that. We need coordinated retaliation if Trump goes through with it and it is not a bluff. It is insane that we have to treat the us like Russia (showing strength and risking a lot of damage) but it is what it is. And sure, we also need to reduce dependencies on the us. But there will be conflict anyway. The us tech oligarchs want to get rid of eu regulation on social networks and Trump will push for it. We cannot accept that unless we want to end up like the us. Canada and the eu have already signed a free trade agreement called CETA.
I would like to dedicate the song WIND BENEATH MY WINGS to President Biden! These words are everything YOU are and more… God bless you my President. Much love and respect and appreciation!
American here. Agreed. The stupidest thing any nation can do I think is appease this fucker. That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if the goal is to alienate allies enough to make the US people inherently reliant on his and musk's undustries, alternative energy included
Many underestimate the extraordinary value of manners, integrity, politeness, empathy, civility, respect, honour. The contrast between Biden and Trump is just off the scales with regards to those traits - I don't think Trump has a single one of them.
As a Canadian- I know we are going to hit back hard. I do not want this (any of it) for any of us. Canadians do not want any of this for all off us.

Oh, every country hit by Trumps idiotic tariffs wont do blanket tariffs like Trump, that will hit their own citizens and economy. They will target their retaliatory tariffs to do as little harm as possible to their own country and as much harm as possible to the US. Including going after influential companies and/or companies in states/districts of the politicians, who support the tariffs. Space Karen and his businesses will absolutely top that list.
Hey Brian, friendly Canadian here. You're right tariffs are going to take a big bite out of your pockets.... perhaps more than you know... We have pipelines out to the west coast, who is just off our west coast? China and India. Who already buys from us and can't buy from Russia anymore? China and India. What if we were to have "ice problems" at the dams in Quebec, Ontario and Newfoundland and had to "restrict exports of electricity" to the US northeast? Hope y'all have long underwear. Pretty much every province has said if the tariffs go through we will immediately ban the sale of all American liquor, wine and beer, we did that to Russia when they invaded Ukraine and it hasn't hurt us at all... on the other hand you guys love our rye and rum ask Al Capone Trump's old buddy... Us and Mexico will do just fine, it may sting a bit but we have plenty of customers for what we've got, y'all not so much. Peace.
As an American in the US, it sucks it has come to this, but I fully support y'all protecting yourselves as much as possible. While a lot of us who didn't vote for Trump will have to endure the decimating economy, hopefully it will change the way people look at Trump. Please call in to your government officials, if possible, to make sure Canada starts acting defensively (and offensively if necessary) against us in the U.S. To get rid of Trump, we need y'all to not back down.
Someone needs to pay for the tax cuts for the billionaires and large corporations. And I think Trump knows exactly what he is doing. He’s okay the middle class and poor will have to pay for his and his friends tax cuts.

Wonder what happens when we (Canadians) will turn off the electricity, or the oil taps? How will prices go down? Wonder 🤔…🙄 Trump is worse than a moron!
Québec and Ontario can afford to close/ shut the electricity to USA for some months without facing bankruptcy, a revenu loss for sure, but Danielle Smith Alberta cannot stop to sell oil without facing bankruptcy of her province because this is her exclusive/major income source.

I live down here in oklahoma oil country, and they think that we'll just drill more oil down here. I've tried to explain to him. Nobody's gonna drill, because there's not gonna be anywhere to refine it. And if you guys know anything about the oil patch up there, you know, they're not gonna let prices go rock bottom. No, oil company's, they're gonna manufacture those prices right back up.

It scares me as well. But he has another thing coming if he thinks the democrats, independents, or even republicans will fight these stupid wars he plans on. He’d just be increasing chances of a unified rebellion because most Americans know we can’t go down this path. Even republicans are regretting his election, so I think he’d be hard pressed to find people to even recruit people for his attempts at territory grabs. It’s still a scary notion but we all know we don’t need that land and he is planning on attacking our allies, not even the people that had followed him are foolish enough to believe that would be beneficial, (I know there are some that are gullible enough but it seems many had a wake up call, so hopefully basically everyone refuses)
Yes. Apparently the puppy killer has been telling him about Mount Rushmore in her state, and how the presidents there are those, who expanded the US the most. Remember how he was obsessed last time around on adding his face to Mount Rushmore?

Watching from the UK, it strikes me that quite literally the only thing that will turn the tide for the US at this point is for you guys to hit absolute rock bottom; I mean, to the point where the US' influence on the global stage is *forcibly* and massively shrunk down by us and your other allies making new trade and military allyship agreements that bypass the US entirely. And since the US under Donald is now being actively hostile to multiple allied countries, I'm not entirely sure that such a thing is as much of an absurdity as it previously has been. Only at that point will everyone responsible even begin to be able to look at the situation and say "Jfc what the hell has happened here?" - after all, there can be no greatness without influence and Donald is doing pretty much everything he can at this point to alienate what existing allies the US has; and Donald simply cannot influence the strongmen autocrats he insists on sucking up to - they control him and it will *never* be the other way around. In short, the best anyone can hope for at this point, sadly and very ironically, is for Donald to destroy MAGA by very blatantly destroying the US from the top down. Hopefully the latter will recover.
I think the US's power and influence in the world is going straight down the crapper, possibly for ever, whilst those pathetic morons who think their wonderful US is so powerful are actually the very ones pulling the chain.

And what a border! The Mexican border is only 1,900 miles long, the Canada US border is 5,500! Canada is not the problem and Mexico is trying but that means nothing to King Trump, as he waves his royal sceptre about making demands.
He knows full well how they work. I suspect this is an attempt to drive more Americans into ruin... the last time it happened, in the 2008 housing bubble crash, corporations, banks and the super rich, made off like bandits by swooping in and buying up all the cheap property and land. This tariff war is going to financially ruin many more people near the bottom of the ladder. Trump's business partners and billionaire buddies that were sitting even ahead of congress at his inauguration, will be ready to swoop in again in another feeding frenzy. I'm not sure if these massive financial entities can even be stopped anymore by any gov't. Elon Musk just proved you can publicly, outright just purchase an election.
Benefits of Tariffs Protect Domestic Industries: Shields local businesses from foreign competition, fostering growth and preserving jobs. Generate Revenue: Provides governments with additional income for public spending. Promote National Security: Safeguards critical industries and reduces dependence on imports. Ensure Fair Trade: Counters unfair practices like dumping and encourages ethical standards. Reduce Trade Imbalances: Discourages imports, boosting domestic production and consumption. Support Economic Goals: Encourages industrial diversification and innovation. Uphold Environmental Standards: Discourages imports produced using unsustainable methods.
Maybe Trump has difficulty seeing, something wrong with his eyesight since that is the story if his presidency: everything is upside down. There even was a name for the news they brought back then: alternative facts.
That is a VERY good point! It reminds me of a country that tried to control very strictly what gets out of it. It was my neighbouring country. It was called he German Democratic (!) Republic. Only undemocratic countries control their border in a way to avoid outwards movement.
It's bad for the USA, and it's bad for Canada because of potentially lost sales. That translates to lost Canadian jobs. And that's why the retaliatory tariffs will be bad for the USA, too. So, instead of sending crude oil, for example, to the US, Canada will have to ship it to other countries, and the US will have to import it from other countries. Both countries will have to absorb the cost of that extra shipping. And "drill, baby, drill" is fine and good, but the USA produces "LIGHT" crude, and US refineries were built to refine heavy crude. The cost of converting those refineries is so high that the US presently sends its light crude abroad for refining. You know who has HEAVY crude? Canada, and Venezuela.
I thought that too for a long time, but now I think this might be a strategy to raise taxes on us so that he can afford to give his rich friends another tax cut. sneaky mfer.
Tariffs only work in a country, if you have the same goods and services readily available at the same price so consumers can buy them. What a surprise Trump hasn’t thought something through.
We don’t need junk from China nor do we need canadia and Mexico to assemble our cars and trucks. We all need to start buying American and supporting Americans
He has no idea! Guess when your rich you go in a store and never wonder where it's made or how much it costs! If he's so eager to get goods made in America again,how come all his clothing is made in China or another foreign country? And everything he is grifting is also made in China! Even to red hats! I'm sure China sure likes his business! Almost everything he peddles comes from there. He's a f**king lunitic!!
Even if there are the same goods and services available domestically, all that tariffs end up doing is allowing domestic companies to jack up their prices - that's what happens when one eliminates competition - capitalism 101. It also leads to domestic producers having no incentive to implement efficiencies, modernizations, or innovations to keep up with the rest of the world. Never, ever has worked for anything except as just another tax that buyers end up paying.
Fellow Canadian, and it definitely will. But on the plus side, it'll be a good opportunity for Canada to find other reliable trade partners who don't have a fascist felon as president. Americans really don't realize they need our products more than we need theirs.
@@MG-im8ku Trade with us, the UK, and the EU. We can substitute the trade we would have had with the US with trade with each other. It's time to isolate the US. That's what they want, we should let them have it. We should MAKE them have it.
BTC you do really good work, I'm not American , I feel really sorry for all the Americans who were smart enough not to vote for Trump. Looking on from another country its madness and frightening. Keep up the fight!
That is just the foil that Trump uses to justify what he is doing. The trick is that he can claim that the border is not secure no matter how much Canada does. Frankly that also works for the Mexico border. That wall will always need building.
How do Canada and Mexico 'allow' people to come into our country? Isn't it our job to determine who comes into our country? I never new other countries had the final say on immigration into our country.
Canadian premiers already stated they will block all US liquor if tariffs are installed. This would hurt the people who voted for him. Bourbon distillers have already started to lay off employees. The oil companies built most of their plants to distill oil that does not come from our county. We have to import the oil they like and hope to export the oil they do not like.
From the UK, I thought our politicians were bad, watching this total shit show is scary, sympathy to all the good people who didn't vote for that fraudster
Imagine how us Canadians feel. I live 1 KM from the border. You may be getting a call from NATO in the near future.

One should fix the other right?
We really do not have that many coming in to the US from Canada for long stays. They came over on Visas during Covid last time to help out as doctors and nurses and their Visa would expire. But it did not mean they wanted to stat. The cost of the Visa was astronomical.

Manipulation
Deceit
Having a big ego
Lack of remorse
Limited emotional responses
Recklessness
Impulsivity
Behavioral problems (especially among children)
Violence or aggression
Many people with psychopathy maintain an outwardly normal appearance and even appear charming and witty. Although psychopathy is often associated with criminality, the defining features of psychopathy are the above personality traits, not violent or criminal behavior.
Some people with psychopathy are also considered “integrated psychopaths” due to their nonviolent tendencies. Other people living with this condition may be defined as “successful psychopaths” in that they are quite successful throughout their lives and harness aspects of psychopathy that benefit their individual growth, such as confidence, congeniality, and fearlessness.

I remember the tarrifs on China in 2018. I worked for a manufacturing company and we imported steel from China. We mostly did government work. When the tarrifs hit all of our projects came to a halt. Within weeks half of the staff, myself included, lost our jobs because of it. This will be disasterous.
Yes. He may have saved 300 steel jobs, but cost 37000 jobs from the industries that use that steel. And then, China put retalitory tariffs on soybeans, and we had to bail out farmers to the tune of billions. Lord, he is a moron. And evidently, just enough idiots stayed home, or worse, voted for the convicted felon. We are screwed.
It’s because we don’t need to be supporting a communist government even if it means cutting off trade from china because we don’t need to be supporting a communist government who is also friends with the sociopath known as Putin
Agreed. Tariffs are a losing situation on all sides. Not sure how people believe otherwise. It's the dumbest thing to do in a time when everything is so expensive to begin with. Hoping you've been able to recover since that situation in 2018. I'm in Canada, we are just as concerned about the tariffs, even though we wouldn't be paying for them. It'll effect us in a very negative way.

@@MG-im8ku As an American this will probably strain our relationship with our allies. The US is starting to prove itself as an unreliable trading partner by punishing its allies for very ridiculous reasons. The fact that our citizens don't hold people like Trump accountable for it unless it directly affects them is only going to lead to a gradual weaning off of reliance on US trade and if that happens the damage from that will be irreversible.

And don't forget as far as tariffs are concerned, 25% tariff doesn't mean prices will rise only 25%. Most companies will raise their prices say 35% because they see that prices are going up 25% to cover the tariff but will add 10% or so to enlarge their profits.
Plus whatever Mexico and Canada could levy on top of that to compensate for their losses.

As an independent voting American, I'd have to agree with you. So many of us didn't want this, but so many more couldn't be bothered to stop it.
Join EU and get access to free trade with an over 400 million people market. Seems USA mentally prefer fascism. We can buy your great maple syrup and wood and we can provide you with knowledge and solutions to transition to an emission free energy production and usage that you so urgently have to do.
Dya think ?
As an American....yeah I'm worried, too... please dont forget those of us who DID NOT vote for this are just as horrified as you guys.
Canada hasn't been in a long time, y'all are cucked.
Trumpflation is going to go crazy.
And we, in Canada, are looking at not only imposing not only retaliatory tariffs but stopping oil exports and electricity exports to the US.
We should!
Fellow Canuck here. Do you think retaliatory tariffs are self defeating? I wonder if we're better off just selling them whatever they want and if they wanna charge themselves more its on them. Just thinking our economy will already suffer enough.
Thank you! I didn't vote for him but Americans who did need to feel the pain. Go Canada! We love you!
@Stevethelightingguy we need to retaliate to stand up to this idiot! Also no longer buy US products!
american here please do
The oil and natural gas Canada exports to the US is sold at significantly less than world market prices. If Canada now asks for full market value, and a 25% tariff is imposed on top of that increase, then Americans will pay much more to heat or cool their homes and to fill their car gas tanks.
Prognosis: gas will get more expensive. Trump will blame the evil Canadians for ripping off the poor innocent Americans, declare it a hostile act and use it as a pretense to invade.
And Canada is now talking favourably for expanding the oil and Natural Gas pipelines from the Edmonton oil shale shield to the Pacific - and building an alternative Refinery and LNG port there. That'll hit the refineries in Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas. He's so stupid... he's pandering to the nativists, isolationists and those in his circle who either want China and Russia to win, or who are just idiots.
Either that, or import from Russia now that Europe no longer buys from them, and has an economy going belly up, putting America beholden to the whims of his puppetmaster, Vlad.
So be it. We have too many here, even if only for sure 1/3 of the Voting able age group, that think their birthright citizenship entitles them to freedom without responsibility.

Why?
From the man who kept shouting, "They're eating the cats! They're eating the dogs!" Trump is to diplomacy what Mike Tyson is to being the head ballerina at the Bolshoi.
They are you ignorant putz
When things get as bad as we expect, it won't just be the immigrants eating the dowgs and cats!
I was outside the US embassy in Ottawa today. I urge all Canadians to come and be seen
EU, Canada and Mexico should make a 4 year free trade agreement, with the requirement that each country block trade with the US. Other countries are welcome to participate.
Mexican president has already moved to do that, talking with Canadian businessmen and updating the mex-eu trade agreement.
I couldn't agree more. The almost half-billion consumers in the EU would be more than happy to trade with our friends in North (and South) America and bypass Trump's Magaverse for the next four years!
As a German I would say that we need more than that. We need coordinated retaliation if Trump goes through with it and it is not a bluff. It is insane that we have to treat the us like Russia (showing strength and risking a lot of damage) but it is what it is. And sure, we also need to reduce dependencies on the us. But there will be conflict anyway. The us tech oligarchs want to get rid of eu regulation on social networks and Trump will push for it. We cannot accept that unless we want to end up like the us. Canada and the eu have already signed a free trade agreement called CETA.
@ChrisTian-cy7eu At the G20 Mexico and Germany got together and agreed to more trade. We make lots of cars and German machinery.

Oh, every country hit by Trumps idiotic tariffs wont do blanket tariffs like Trump, that will hit their own citizens and economy. They will target their retaliatory tariffs to do as little harm as possible to their own country and as much harm as possible to the US. Including going after influential companies and/or companies in states/districts of the politicians, who support the tariffs. Space Karen and his businesses will absolutely top that list.

Hey Brian, friendly Canadian here. You're right tariffs are going to take a big bite out of your pockets.... perhaps more than you know...
We have pipelines out to the west coast, who is just off our west coast? China and India.
Who already buys from us and can't buy from Russia anymore? China and India.
What if we were to have "ice problems" at the dams in Quebec, Ontario and Newfoundland and had to "restrict exports of electricity" to the US northeast?
Hope y'all have long underwear.
Pretty much every province has said if the tariffs go through we will immediately ban the sale of all American liquor, wine and beer, we did that to Russia when they invaded Ukraine and it hasn't hurt us at all... on the other hand you guys love our rye and rum ask Al Capone Trump's old buddy...
Us and Mexico will do just fine, it may sting a bit but we have plenty of customers for what we've got, y'all not so much.

As an American in the US, it sucks it has come to this, but I fully support y'all protecting yourselves as much as possible. While a lot of us who didn't vote for Trump will have to endure the decimating economy, hopefully it will change the way people look at Trump.

Someone needs to pay for the tax cuts for the billionaires and large corporations. And I think Trump knows exactly what he is doing. He’s okay the middle class and poor will have to pay for his and his friends tax cuts.

In my area of south-west Kansas, gas has been around $2.35 a gallon for the last few months. Just in the last two weeks, most of the local stations have raised the price per gallon to $2.65. It's already starting.
From 2.68 to 2.89
Come to pa 364. 59 cents of that is Pa gas tax.
Every state has a different amount of tax on every gallon, therefore the big differences. Some states are being gouged, if their governor isn’t paying attention and fighting back!

He’d just be increasing chances of a unified rebellion because most Americans know we can’t go down this path. Even republicans are regretting his election, so I think he’d be hard pressed to find people to even recruit people for his attempts at territory grabs. It’s still a scary notion but we all know we don’t need that land and he is planning on attacking our allies, not even the people that had followed him are foolish enough to believe that would be beneficial, (I know there are some that are gullible enough but it seems many had a wake up call, so hopefully basically everyone refuses)

Watching from the UK, it strikes me that quite literally the only thing that will turn the tide for the US at this point is for you guys to hit absolute rock bottom; I mean, to the point where the US' influence on the global stage is *forcibly* and massively shrunk down by us and your other allies making new trade and military allyship agreements that bypass the US entirely. And since the US under Donald is now being actively hostile to multiple allied countries, I'm not entirely sure that such a thing is as much of an absurdity as it previously has been. Only at that point will everyone responsible even begin to be able to look at the situation and say "Jfc what the hell has happened here?" - after all, there can be no greatness without influence and Donald is doing pretty much everything he can at this point to alienate what existing allies the US has; and Donald simply cannot influence the strongmen autocrats he insists on sucking up to - they control him and it will *never* be the other way around.
In short, the best anyone can hope for at this point, sadly and very ironically, is for Donald to destroy MAGA by very blatantly destroying the US from the top down. Hopefully the latter will recover.
I think the US's power and influence in the world is going straight down the crapper, possibly for ever, whilst those pathetic morons who think their wonderful US is so powerful are actually the very ones pulling the chain.

@@kai-uweoch1159exactly!
It's bad for the USA, and it's bad for Canada because of potentially lost sales. That translates to lost Canadian jobs. And that's why the retaliatory tariffs will be bad for the USA, too.
So, instead of sending crude oil, for example, to the US, Canada will have to ship it to other countries, and the US will have to import it from other countries. Both countries will have to absorb the cost of that extra shipping. And "drill, baby, drill" is fine and good, but the USA produces "LIGHT" crude, and US refineries were built to refine heavy crude. The cost of converting those refineries is so high that the US presently sends its light crude abroad for refining. You know who has HEAVY crude? Canada, and Venezuela.

@@michaellaughery6411 You're NOT an economist, are you?
Even if there are the same goods and services available domestically, all that tariffs end up doing is allowing domestic companies to jack up their prices - that's what happens when one eliminates competition - capitalism 101. It also leads to domestic producers having no incentive to implement efficiencies, modernizations, or innovations to keep up with the rest of the world. Never, ever has worked for anything except as just another tax that buyers end up paying.
