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

Don't worry, the leopards definitely aren't going to eat your face!

He wasn't even really saying anything from I could tell. His surrogates did most of the promising from I could tell.
But he actually did promise tariffs. All the economic experts said it would be bad. Team Trump was just all "experts? What do they know!"
People are getting what they voted for.

Being called an antisemite doesnt have the sting it used to. Now it just means anyone the state of Israel disagrees with in any way.

You're not applying that saying correctly my friend

choked on a pretzel
I wonder how many people reading this remember that this actually happened to Bush the 2nd.

i come from a tariff heavy country. you want a sneak peak? inflation. shit is gonna get more expensive. that's it
-
You aren’t already?

No no no he is going to stop all taxes, pay off the national debt, bring manufacturing back to the US, and build a Nazi mars base for Elon.

Obviously I want to see Trump fail spectacularly, but it fucking sucks that would harm those of us who can least afford it.
I thought that was the plan....
-
I'll enjoy seeing the US go down.

Yep, Vance is in a way more dangerous than Trump. Trump might throw wrenches in the fascists' plans by either blurting them out proudly thinking it was his idea or by being too afraid of being unpopular (which he is obviously obsessed with) and taking back some of the changes due to public pressure. Vance on the other hand will be just a hand puppet for Putin and/or Musk.

Fun fact: Under Hitler, while there was an economic boom (due to production switching to war preparation), wages fell on Great Depression levels and workers had to work a lot more hours. Germany was also deeply in debt, because most of this was financed by crazy lending from other countries, which Hitler had no intention of paying back.

You may have misunderstood the article.
There's a trade agreement that says no tarrifs in exchange for respecting IP which includes not breaking digital locks.
If the agreement is out then there's nothing preventing Canada from allowing their citizens to circumvent restrictions against repairing their own tractors for example.

Pfft... just buy some $TRUMP crypto coin. The graft is all out in the open now.
I think this has passed a lot of people by. When Trump announced his crypto scheme he was saying to the world "This is how you buy the power of the president with no paper trail". Foreign powers can funnel billions through it for favours.
It's corruption on a unprecedented scale, even for a political system that runs on continual "fund-raising".

Exactly. No one is thinking "right this is our big chance to build a toothbrush factory".
Setting aside the tariffs on the production line you need to buy from China...
All your precursor would need to come from China anyway.
Couple that with the cost of maintaining local safety regs and I'd be surprised if you could put a product on super market shelves thats cheaper than the tariffed one.
-
If they really wanted this to work it should be something like a steadily increasing tariff over time instead of 25% right off the bat. But I don't think they really care about it working as intended.
-
Many Americans thought the foreign country paid the tariffs, so forgive me if I disagree that my country is capable of that level of thought.

Mama didn't love him, now he's a grumpy old man with grievances.
-
Do you honestly think that reducing the cost of fixing a tractor will reduce the cost of agricultural production by 25% across the board?

I’d use the term mountains loosely when describing Athens, Ohio.
That said, it is pretty with some great natural rock formations at Hocking Hills.
