Trudeau tells Trump: Tariff war will shut American factories

[pip@slrpnk.net]

It's baffling how foreign relations 101 gets completely thrown out the window by this shining idiot. It is SO important to establish good trade and relations with your bordering countries, and what does this guy do? The exact opposite.

if only this affected just the people who voted for him...

Yeah, well, I was shocked that he didn't have to cheat this time, and that he actually won the popular vote.

This is going to disproportionately hit blue collar voters, who tend to vote red. Billionaires will also be affected as stocks tank, since most of their value is disproportionately held in the market.

Everyone's going to suffer; that's a given. I don't want the suffering to be limited to LGBTQ+, minorities, and women.

I work in automation in SEMI. My idiot conservative boss is convinced that this will help us by bringing manufacturing from Mexico.

American alcohol is on the list of immediate tarrifs as well as orange juice, peanut butter, clothing, and cosmetics. There will be further tarrifs on dairy, beef, poultry, fruits and vegetables, steel, aluminum, cars, trucks, busses, and boats after a 21 day delay to give time for Canadian companies to adjust supply chains.

This is going to hurt me, and I did as hell didn't vote for him

[skunkworkz@lemmy.world]

He also refused to answer calls from Von der Leyen.

Great info!

We were all going to suffer, but the only hope we have of avoiding slipping into a dictatorship is if there dumb fucks who "say this one or because both parties are the same" and the true undecideds who don't pay attention suffer enough to side with the movement to preserve democracy. His base will never change their minds.

He's raping civil liberties, minorities, women's rights, worker's rights, free press; I think it's selfish to vocally complain about the one thing that affects you just because you're not a teacher, or an immigrant, or gay.

This is something the while country will feel, and I hope the idiots who aren't in his cult yet still voted for him will pay more attention as a result.

Who says he didn't cheat? He said he was going to cheat, he tried to cheat last time, he even thanked Musk for "help with voting machines" IIRC. The fucker cheated and y'all just accepted it

remind you of any sickly potato shaped dickheads in moscow who sit atop thrones of skulls you know?

[hubi@feddit.org]

He's acting like his allies are enemies and not countries you want to cooperate with for the common good.

Trump is the only person smart enough to play a game of 5D-chess this well.

I've considered making some for exactly this purpose. This biggest hurdle is I would feel bad vandalizing the pumps and forcing someone else to clean up after me.

[hydrashok@sh.itjust.works]

First you have to have an understanding of “the common good”, which I’m quite certain he is lacking. There is only “the good for me”.

[random_character_a@lemmy.world]

Some of those relations have taken decades to refine. Now little Donny is playing with a hammer and turning it all to shit within weeks.

[skulblaka@sh.itjust.works]

Cooperation is pussy liberal shit, a real American dies alone

[bitchkat@lemmy.world]

Don't feel bad for the gas companies. Also he put an exception on "energy".
