White House says Canada has 'misunderstood' tariff order as a trade war, Mexico is 'serious'

Poor Mexico, they think they won? Wait til next month and next thing that trump will ask them to do.

[marcos@lemmy.world]

He’s scared because stocks were down a bit this morning

Never mind that the police roaming the streets will have orders of magnitude larger impact on it than the tariffs.

Ugh, sorry, Mexico!

Nah, don't be. Trump is lying about it.

I don’t think that word [positive] means...

The entire phrase is meaningless. He just wants to sound smart.

"It's just a joke, brah!"

[darkassassin07@lemmy.ca]

Sure,

That's why Trump won't even take Trudeaus calls. He just wants to negotiate.

Fuck America, enact a full trade embargo. Nothing in, nothing out; including oil and electricity.

I mean, one thing to keep in mind is that the Republicans stopped caring about optics once they secured the govt. They can now say and do what they want with little to no repercussions.

[tleb@lemmy.ca]

Trump will keep moving the goalpost and try to shape our domestic policy. Keep fighting, do not negotiate with terrorists

He's scared because stocks were down a bit this morning, he's been fielding calls from panicked CEOs all weekend

The cynic in me says this is all by design. His rich buddies are buying stock on sale this week before the market corrects again.

CEOs might be temporarily unhappy, but the true wealthy are making moves.

Let's see how the red state targeted tariffs go first. I live in an area that would be badly affected by a total embargo, but we also voted against him.

The Trump regime is lying. Full stop. Don't analyze it further.

[maggoty@lemmy.world]

Lmao.

Trump - We fired a shot at them.

World - over their bow you mean? A warning shot?

Trump - no, directly into them

World - do you understand how this works?

[maggoty@lemmy.world]

The market corrected within hours of opening. The arbitrage opportunity is already over and was so small that only people operating with large scale portfolios made any real money off of it.

[homesweethomemrl@lemmy.world]

Fuck the White House - Canada please go all 1812 on it.

[prodigalsorcerer@lemmy.ca]

Obviously Canadians are just better at snuggling drugs without getting caught than Mexicans.

[lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works]

This is the way.

[zomg@lemmy.world]

Negotiation tactic for what? Mfer didn't state any reason for them from what I've read. There doesn't seem to be anything to negotiate.

[icastfist@programming.dev]

It'll only last 2 weeks, too

[werefreeatlast@lemmy.world]

Trump's stupid ass words just cost 15 of my fellow co-workers their jobs.

Now we're all back to normal! Yey! Except my 15 fellow co-workers. Maybe Trump could say warm words because it is below 30F over here and it's literally snowing.

But I don't blame our boss. He's practically one of our own that we voted as the boss. I blame fucking Trump for causing our clients to loose money in the stock market in the past few weeks which then halted all orders. The tariff thing was just the final straw.

With any luck I'll be out here looking for a job in no time at all.
