It's hard to wonder why...
With friends like these…
Like seriously, you can’t make this stuff up, folks! The schoolyard bully who beats you up after class and continues to insist that he’s your best friend! Not only that, he tells all the teachers that actually he’s the victim and you’re the bully!
How many of you out there knew someone like that? Made you count down the days until you were outta there for good so you’d never have to see his face again! I wish we (Canadians) could get the hell out of this toxic high school we’ve suddenly found ourselves in…

He really does think the EU is a country. I'm not sure my opinion of Americans will ever recover from them having voted in this absolute moron.
The EU sort of is like a country in a sense though

He is showing us what he is afraid of. Canada is risking 30% gdp in a trade war but how much of this 30% can be gained back with increased trade? For example selling aluminum to European.
Potash. They could stop selling us potash and the entire breadbasket of the US would collapse.

Let's add water to that list and really stir things up

Sure, in the sense that California is a city.

What the fuck do tariffs do other than make shit more expensive for US residents?

It's an economic zone made up of smaller countries, and functionality structured in a completely different way the US is regarding the fed vs the states. That fact the US president is referring to a continent as a country is unbelievably embarrassing.

He thinks our economy is strong enough to stand on its own and that's absolutely ridiculous.

Products get expensive, US consumers don't buy as many products, countries which export those products see reduction in exports and thus taxes.
Theoretically.

Twice. They did it twice.
You can almost (but not quite) forgive the first time. You could -maybe- write it off as an experiment, or that they were giving the 'real politicians' a scare to get them back in line.
However that's a lot of 'almost' and 'maybe'.But the second time, that's fucking unforgivable.

I was going to say this. Trump thinks the EU already is what I wish it will become.
Maybe his efforts will push us further into that direction though?

As a resident of a Continental Country that is not the US, we've pretty much always seen Europe as a single, monolithic thing. It's hard for us to grasp how something like France, which is just slightly bigger than Minas Gerais, 4th largest state of Brazil, is a completely separate thing from the rest.

America is the largest consumer state on planet earth. A huge amount of foreign economies rely heavily on export to the United States and tariffs can do a LOT of damage. Trump knows these tariffs are a huge bargaining chip, but it’s the type of chip you can only use to this degree once. And he’s cashing it in for… his own political clout. The natural response to this that we’re already seeing the beginning of, is countries restructuring their industry to be less reliant on the U.S. which will ultimately do far more damage to the U.S. than the U.S. can do to other countries. And once they’ve all done that, there won’t be a good reason to ramp that trade up again.
As an American this is going to suck a lot for us, but right now everything Trump is doing sucks for us. The shame of it is that no matter how bad it gets, I can’t realistically be mad at Canada, Mexico, or all of Europe over it. What other option have they been given?
