- Donald Trump has signed orders imposing tariffs on top U.S. trading partners Mexico, Canada and China. Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia of California explains why those tariffs will be "incredibly destructive" for U.S. residents and the economy. MSNBC's Ayman Mohyeldin also asked Garcia about the Friday night purge of top FBI officials and federal prosecutors.

#trump #trade #tariffs
America, you use to be cool.
So much amazing history, filled with patriots. Now look at you
I know, I am ashamed of our country right now, and the people who voted for it.
This American never voted for Trump or his fascist bull shet.
I am ashamed for my country.
USA was never "cool". Always a violent empire.
Thank the ignorant MAGAts for this disaster.
@@carolperkins1493Don’t you mean “Ashamed of the people who voted against it”?
I hear that Canada is considering offering the Chinese EV maker, BYD, a chance to set up a plant in Ontario. BYD is bigger than Tesla, has better technology and lower costs. This will bankrupt Tesla.
Why BYD wants to come to CANADA? For what purpose?
That is good news to my ears
That’ll be fun. I suspect 2000% progressive tariff should fix that. Let’s play. 👊🇺🇸🧂
Canada is super angry and we will push back
That wouldn't surprise me , Canadian government is in bed with the Chinese
Everyone contact your Congresspeople demand he be impeached.
For sure!
Those of us stuck in red states will sound off on idle ears
I doubt it’ll happen
@naja13enough voices might budge them a bit. Especially those running for reelection. Some definitely have doubts. I believe some of congress still genuinely want the best for their constituents
Lol
Do you feel safe boarding a plane, where two plane crashes took place last week, including the catastrophic crash where a commercial plane struck a Black Hawk helicopter and killed 67 people over Washington, D.C.? With Trump and Elon Musk gutting all federal agencies and firing or pushing out everyone, do you feel safe doing things we took for granted before?
No. Trump got rid of regulations by EO so airplanes are no longer safe.
@@timmaloney6441you know the point Tim 🙄. @whatlywrites9542 no I don’t! It could be by design to keep people from leaving too.😅
@@timmaloney6441 that the immediate sowing of chaos and gutting of federal agencies have made us less safe across the board in the aftermath
Absolutely not
Not thrilled about the prospects
Thank You Congressman Garcia .
For what 😂 trump is gonna get his revenge
Mayor Garcia turned Long Beach into a safe haven for homeless migrants and the mentally ill. You can find human poop everywhere on the sidewalks.
WHY DO AMERICAN PEOPLE, NOT SEEING WHATS HAPPENING, ARE THEY WAITING TILL IT'S TOO LATE. AT THIS RATE HE'S GOING, IT WON'T TAKE LONG.
You mistakenly think the American people are not vile, violent, hateful thugs. The majority are.
Because they aren’t smart. Aren’t aware. Aren’t paying attention.
@@cadaverdog1424exactly. How'd you think we got here in the first place.
Most of the Voters are Naturalized US. CITIZEN
They believe that Trump is their Saviour snd like
TRUMP TARRIFF
GROCERIES SPECIALLY DOZEN OF EGGS WILL GO DOWN.
If Biden hadn't blown the border open over economic migrants we wouldn't be going through any of this. I mean, it was "the worst pandemic in modern history" yet Biden opens the border for third world visitors to come in, unvetted, unvaxxed, but the people who questioned chin-diapers are the issue?????? Blump has been in office for two weeks, he can't fix everything president 💩-britches f-ed up in that timeframe. Are you people children or bots?
Thank you Rep. Garcia
Talk is cheap-I repeat, talk is cheap! All this endless chatter without action is draining, especially when there are countless Americans ready to step up and stand strong against Trump. Democrats, please, put down the butter knife and understand this fight isn’t one for rulebooks. Trump isn’t playing by any rules, and every moment wasted is another lost advantage.
That famous mantra, "When they go low, we go high," might have sounded noble, but let’s be honest-it marked the beginning of the end. You can't win a no-holds-barred battle while clinging to polite strategy. The other side is wielding machetes, and you're still showing up with butter knives. Wake up, Democrats-this is not the time for soft gestures. Lord, help America, because this fight demands real grit and action.
I agree. Thank you for using your voice
Well said. Did you hear the latest, Elon Musk took over Dept of Treasury Fed payment system?.
@HarmonyHarmony-e6d what did he say ? You need to be poorer in order for me to be richer ?
@HarmonyHarmony-e6d yes that's frightening
Getting sick of the bs and Dems laxed responses. We need action now
Tariffs are the way to compensate for the tax break for the rich. People will pay 25% tax on the imported goods and it should be enough to compensate for the lost revenues caused by the tax cut. That is the reason why tariffs, the story about fentanyl is a distraction.
That's exactly right. The US companies pay the tariffs into the US treasury and pass their increased prices on to the US consumer. Most of those people are middle and lower income folks. The treasury money pays for the tax cuts given to rich, who have no shortage to fix their roof or feed their kids.
This will destroy majority of small business in America. Huge corporations have stockpiled for this. They will sell that stock at increased prices to consumers. These tariffs harm all Americans and only benefit the oligarchy.
I agree with with you but the tariff income to the Fed will be $Billions. Trump Tax Cuts to billionaires and rich corps cost the Fed up to $2 Trillion. Why they are also trying to cut public programs.
Nope
These tariffs seemed strictly political motivated by trump. The ripple effect of these tariffs doesn’t effect him or his billionaire cronies but it does effect the average American.
You’re right. Canada has since spent a ton of money on security, drones… on the border and your American representative approved of it. We’re improving the border situation even though that’s not his real issue. Greed. Power.
If Trump is gone before l wake, l pray the Lord the news ain’t fake.❤ 🇨🇦
The South Korean people took to the streets immediately when their President tried to impose martial law. With Americans it’s drip..drip… drip
I hope the people that elected Trump are happy. As somebody said a long time ago never underestimate the stupidity of the American public
They were SO Brainwashed by Fox and Trump
Yup we are happy. Sit down and stay quiet now.
We are very happy Trump is doing what's best for America
look at the comments. get out while you can. its a nation of morons
Those American's that voted for this mayhem really are the uneducated Trump loves, they really are stupid and have not realized yet how their lives will be ruined.
If only someone warned them... loudly and clearly over two months leading up to November...
They have been warned for years--you can take a horse to the water---but even more impossible to turn cult members, as history has shown.
Warn over what? Trump is still better than having a commie in office. He is by no means our savior and perfect in every way. We really dodged a bullet back in Nov 2024.
If only…..
Exactly right
They WOULD NOT LISTEN and even resorted to name calling and personal attacks on ME
The reason Donvict is doing this is because he likes the word tariffs even though he doesn't have a clue what it means!!!
Biden was senile his whole term. Explain why DT is such a problem though... 🤦♂️
😂 how many skyscrapers have you built? Are you even self aware?
@@ziff1066 he didn’t build them .
Its nice to see how he like words, when he tell the world that he now know new words, when he belive he is the only one know. Like BRICS where he say Spain is bad to USA but Spain is not part of BRICS! Nobody correct him because his Staff also not know what they do and be proud to be stupid!
@ziff1066
The same many as trump.

How many times have you been to mars.
If you been 0 than I guess that somehow makes trump look bad.
Lol
Thank you MSNBC for keeping us abreast and doing so with integrity! I pray that they/we all choose where we want to spend Eternity. MSNBC is a true representative. Thank you!!!
Al Jazeera America has better ratings than the Cult of Maddow Channel😂😂
You're right Garcia, trump Tariffs is another way around for trump Billionaires to cash in on our Taxs Dollar, hollar...
Every billionaire was in the dem party until several months ago. Cope loser.
So you think trump is just gonna l snag up these tariffs for himself and buddies ?
Nah techies will put on the kneepads for whoever will look the other way on regulation. Remember when Biden snubbed Musk it hurt his fragile feelings.
Peter Thiel always a toadie for repugs😅
@@SacredHeart0520he will use them to pay for their tax cuts, obviously.
Trump gonna FAFO…the FBI helps to keep HIM safe…Trump needs a straight jacket
And he survived TWO assassination attempts. Such a great job from the FBI 🎉
Well I believe the first one was Staged. Do you think that Coward would jump up so fast,exposing himself if he was in danger 😮
Finally, someone notices what the pardons did, and why trump did it! Thank you congressman 🌊
Lol, Biden pardoned his whole family. 😂
@@douggardner8229 Biden's family are innocent ( except Hunter ) - convicted felons aren't. Also 1600 is about 200 times more people than Biden's family. Also the law says in order to accept a pardon you must accept your guilt. If they insist they aren't guilty the pardon should be invalid.
Thank you for your courage and leadership, Rep. Garcia. God bless and keep you safe.
When does the Impeachment trial start?
You're looking for 2021
Exactly 💯
After the midterms.
Lol, America is already the number one exporter of liberal salt since Trump returned.
Liberal cope is so much winning, and we are in no way tired of the winning. 👊🇺🇸🧂
Impeach Trump now
For what, winning? Make another blue bracelet, cupcake ✊🏿🤣🧂🧂🧂🧂🧂🍿
That's right third time's a charm😂
@GGable they should impeach his 45th Presidency again- "we got him this time, the walls are closing in!✊🏿🤣🧂🧂🧂🧂🍿
"WAIT UNTIL MUELLER TESTIFIES!"
😂😂
silly Dems....😂
Go ahead. That crap has really worked well for dems in the past. You basically got him elected by persecuting him.
to all you MAGA cultists out there reading this (and if you can read, congratulations) understand this:
Tariffs are a TAX on the CONSUMER !!! - let that sink into your teeny little heads - take off that red hat, its on too tight.
Trump doesn't seem to know about anything that's going on in our government. Who exactly is running our country??
President Elon Musk
Been less then 2 weeks. Feels like we have been through 4 years
“Tariffs, it’s the most beautiful word; we’re going to have so much money!” Who is the “we” in that, DJT?❌
Him and his buddies who can pick up American assets at knocked down prices .
Two weeks in and you can’t cope. Ok, I’ll spell it out for you. ‘’We the American people’’…are the one’s who voted him in and will benefit from doing so. The world will conform to the tariffs or be isolated. Don’t like it, vote harder next time. 👊🇺🇸🧂
You do realize the US getting isolated ain't the flex you think it is lol
@ 2 days before the election, you thought you’d join the political discourse, Neanderthal? Whatever age you are, you still haven’t caught on, so I can’t help you.
@@MR ~ I 🩷an independent thinker❣️
He wants to erase what he did on J6
I don’t think he’ll ever be able to erase it, it’ll be in the history books for a long, long time. Just like Putin, Stalin and Hitler.
Great job red hats!
This playbook has been used before. It never ends well.
I'm very angry but civil war is worse!!! Where's the justice system???
He fired all of them and they just politely stepped to the side.
We need stronger, louder and more in touch democratic leaders! Like the new head of the DNC.
He's not going to collect any tariff until a US Entity or person accept/purchases the goods. Minimize your purchases!
CHAOS, CONFUSION AND CONCERN
TAX INCREASE
Equals DEPRESSION
FAFO
Thanks for the information
Where the story on the Treasury payment system takeover??
Ooooh this is gonna hurt. God help us all
Please stop the conformation. BOYCOTT!! DON'T CONFIRM!! GUM UP THE WORKS. FIGHT BACK!!
Robert Garcia, walk the walk!!
Every Democrat on TV should call it like it is - the Trump Tax. Keep drilling to average Americans that this is the Trump Tax on Them!
91% white men voted for this, 66% white women voted for this and 50% Hispanics voted for this!
Exactly if you can't afford to throw away an extra couple thousand dollars a month and Trump taxes then you can't afford to live in merica
Well he is going to regret it. We are the ones to pay for his stupidity.
The fact that nobody talks about the forbidden book called The Gilded Nexus of Prosperity speaks volumes about how people are stuck in a trance
The fact that nobody cares about that book of propaganda is good news.
He's doing all these unprecedented things but not one ever said anything about impeachment It's been 2 weeks and already exhausted from nonsense
The United States complained to the World Trade Organization in complaint DS585 that India's imposition of additional duties with respect to certain products originating in the United States appeared to be inconsistent with WTO articles I:1, II:1(a), and II:1(b). The US asks the rest of the world to judge India's tariffs as unacceptable; but to accept the US Government's tariffs on goods imported into the US.
It hasn't been widely reported but, the group Free Speach For The People has a petition with over 100,000 signatures that calls on congress to start investigations into trump's third impeachment. The third time is a charm.
Thank you. I signed up.
I expect a recession triggered by Trump's trade wars gonna hit the poorest Americans in red states the hardest.
Gas price increase, lumber increase, food increase, burger increase, fries increase, electricity increase..........even the entry fees to clubs increase 🤣🤣🤣
Alot of Canadians are not buying American goods in srores either
Thank you Rep Garcia. Say it out loud and strong!
Protests in ALLLLL 50 states on Feb 5
We really need to get better organized. I just heard about this 4 hours ago. Where are the phone and text trees? Where are the organizers? CANADA is organized.
MAGA inflation. Good job dummies 😅
celebrities and coconut tress along with some hitler calls, now who is the dummies?
Building his own Gestapo..
You want to know what people think about US, watch Trump sept. 25 2018 UN.
Not only are they passing the tariff down but the inflation the tariffs will add plus orice gouging 9n top of that. It's not just 25 %.
Yup
No one in Canada is laughing son....
Super Bowl Sunday the lights go out america. I’m hearing 4th quarter
I agree 😅
Lol
Everything will cost more because if companies that are paying the tariffs can raise prices, then the companies that aren't impacted by the tariffs will raise prices because they can and gouge the consumers even more and put the money in their pockets. Bahahahaha!
Yup
I ran out of paint part way through a big project. I’ll start over with Canadian made paint before spending a dime on US goods, and will never go back.
Time to take it to the streets. If we don't it's going to get even worse.
What will happen to the Trump Administration when the American people can no longer afford to pay their taxes
Hey I hear America is Great Again... You guys are so lucky and everyone in the USA is going to be Rich like Donny and Elong..
😂😂😂
Not!!!!
Whether they like it or not, is what I believe he said. We need next steps to get this mfer out, please advise
Here's some advice. Sit down and shut up.
Thank you Driscoll.
The tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China will lead to increased prices not only in those countries but also for identical products from non-tariff countries. Importers will likely take advantage of the situation by raising their prices, although they will keep them lower than the cost of goods from Canada, Mexico, and China.
Yup. It'll be a greed fest.
Good!!! America first
If this all goes through than the only thing that will allow middle and lower class get ahead is for gov to give grants for starting co-ops.
Yes, you do need to be more aggressive. You can't play patty cake anymore, and talk is cheap. DO SOMETHING!!
Maga voters really thought "tariffs" were like fines that other countries would pay to the US. 😂😂😂
That’s exactly what it is dumbdum
@@AussieAdventures77 The BUYER pays the tariff/tax - not the seller. Go fetch yourself a brain.
Too bad Garcia doesn't know what he is talking about. But MSNBC loves people like that.
Maga shills for billionaires
Running to eat worms cuz foods are expensive.
Whatever loser. You'll probably be deported within the year.
Trump is frightening! 😈
If we're paying the Tariffs why does these Countries get so mad 😠
You trumpets will be paying more for a long time. You know he’s a crazy liar.
I live in a small town of about 65,000 and the Hispanic residence today who make 73% of the population where marching up and down the main business district in the city. They protested and had protest signs and were out for hours.
You have rights. Sue to enforce them. I don't understand why people will just roll over and allow this.
President Trump could spark a huge market rally, creating a huge opportunity for wealth creation. The trade situation highlights the importance of diversifying investments. With tariffs creating market volatility, crypto, stocks, and bonds offer opportunities to hedge risks and maximize returns.

IT was stated. The tariffs are the result of a trade imbalance. 77% of Canada's products go to the US. 17% of US products go to Canada.
But look at the difference in population size between the US and Canada. Of course the US is going to consume more.
@@willsx2 The point is the leverage in on the side of the US.
Did you get that from your friend mad uncle on Facebook . Fact The US has a 25 billion deficit and trillion dollar trade . That's 0.25%
@@NewOrleansSeptember That is somewhat of a temporary situation while Canada either increases domestic production or pivots to trade with new markets. Just a few months ago it signed a free trade agreement with the EU for example.
The stated purposes of the tariffs are not related to reality. While I'm not sure what they are, the results won't accomplished what he wants and the pain that Elon wants us to embrace will be for nothing good. (And HE won't feel any pain)
I’m a democrat and didn’t mind paying $60k more for the same basic goods and services the last 4 years under Biden, but outraged a tomato from Mexico (only) may cost me a few cents more! LOL
Sorry you struggled financially under Biden. Why did you not exploit the booming job options and soaring stock market? Trump has
killed that bull. You missed it. The Trump recession will be years in recovery.
Yeah ok!…
Let me give you a little taste of what we’re looking at here because I actually own a business and use multiple product vendors…
I just had one of the largest luxury flooring tile manufacturers out of the East Coast announce a whopping 35% increase across the board in anticipation for the tariffs in coming
So imagine making a purchase order for $100,000 of tile and now it’s going to cost $135,000 with additional tax as
well …
Then let’s go ahead and add the cost of no longer having any migrants doing the inexpensive labor that we know a white man isn’t going to do no matter how much they get paid…
Yup!….the MAGA future is looking brighter than ever…(duhhhh)
@@Paidbot56Ad hominem meaningless rants always support and validate the comment you’re trying to deflect and distract from .. Thx dumbo!

Canada GDP sits at $2.14 Trillion. USA GDP is $27.94 Trillion

Why would tRump do this to our closest ally?

Trump is taking advantage of America by purposefully imposing 25% taxes on imports to cover his tax cuts for billionaires. Hope your english translator translates this properly.
You can't fire FBI for doing their jobs.
I likr this Guy, Congressman GARCIA
Tromp will be like Putin
He like Putin stile
Why he's doing it? If he takes down the auto industry, their union goes down too. Then they "rebuild" the Auto industry under his over sight without unions. These moves could also impact the teamsters big time. That's why he's doing it..
No money no honey
I don’t know if it’s worth commenting this tarif decision as a decision. Trump thought first that tarif were applied to foreign countries, he couldn’t admit if was wrong on basic economic knowledges, so there you are. Contingencies ! Not a choice, a vision or whatsoever.
These firings of these fired individuals are going to save America a great deal of money. All of these people have been identified as those who have been caught up in playing political shenanigans, some of them are dead wood and are federal employees who have retired but failed to tell their employer. This will save hard-working Americans a great deal of money.
Just import goods from other countries that are not tariffed. Problem solved. You’re welcome. 😂
How stuff works in the real world. Tariffs are imposed on our biggest trading partners. Others with likewise goods jump on the bandwagon for profit gouging. Get it? You're welcome.
Tariffs will not stop drug flows, only mandatory drug tests for everyone and quitting social media will.
MAGA the uneducated is about to learn what tariffs do. Lol
Mr Patel as an
" attack dog " is amusing. Maybe you meant walk small but carry a big stick ?
Even then I'm laughing
Why is Trump imposing the tariffs? It's very simple ---- he likes the word tariff. Why does he want to implement them? It's very simple ---- *he can*. He will see where the chips fall and meanwhile he gets more attention than anyone else. Any attention keeps him 'in the spotlight' and that's what he likes the most ---- _'getting attention = capital gain !!'_
