Trump says Canada and Mexico to be hit with 25% tariffs on Saturday

[hansolo@lemm.ee]

Lol, do it, bitch. Bet you'll chicken out of this one too.

The person who proposed shutting off electricity was Doug Ford, the premier of Ontario who could in fact follow through. It would definitely be the nuclear option but it would disrupt the power grid of several norther states we border.

I don’t think it will come to that. I think the orange idiot just wants some politicians to grovel and pay his tithe at the last minute so he can feel powerful. He’s “warned” of tariffs too many times to make me think he’s serious.

[t00l_shed@lemmy.world]

Yes, but i don't believe trump KNOWS that. Instead he's been told to do this.

[t00l_shed@lemmy.world]

Yeah, as a Canadian I'm down with strengthening our trade with Mexico.

[transplantedsconie@lemm.ee]

Why the fuck would you want to go back to Ohio?

That state sucks balls.

[puntinoblue@lemmy.ml]

I expect food would be exempt as you don't want an angry, hungry, volatile population. Bread and Circuses

[dogiedog64@lemmy.world]

I have been to Ohio exactly ONCE, and I can confirm that the state does in fact suck balls. It's so fucking FLAT...

[the_tab_key@lemmy.world]

Part of me thinks this is so they have an easy way to drop prices after people get used to everything costing more

Trump is running the US the same way I ran my cities in SimCity2000

[mxcory@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

But wages will go up because more stuff will be made in the US! /S (Basically my father's argument)

[anamnesis@lemmy.world]

Can't say I disagree lol

[maccentric@sh.itjust.works]

*whether

[mothmandelorian@lemmy.world]

Great so now my food will cost even more?

[roflmasterbigpimp@lemmy.world]

President Musk? Or just some randome other Oligarch?

[bytemeister@lemmy.world]

Has the second best CoL/MedianSalary ratio in the US. Ironically, the only state I saw that was consistently better was Michigan.

Plus we have Hocking Hills, which pretty consistently showed up on r/earthporn. If you want flat, we've got flat. If you want hills and mountains, we've got Appalachia.

[roflmasterbigpimp@lemmy.world]

I could see that they try to get away with just Circus, tho.

[nieminen@lemmy.world]

He meant everything he said when he was in those closed door meetings with his investors and sycophants.

[t00l_shed@lemmy.world]

Probably, and the people who wrote project 2025 are telling him what to do

[t00l_shed@lemmy.world]

Narrator: no they won't

[damionsipher@lemmy.world]

Take my up vote you damned (grammar) Nazi.

[maccentric@sh.itjust.works]

That wasn’t a grammatical error tho, more of a miswording
