Ah shit you're right, mb. Yeah, Manufacturing is staying in Mexico.

I was wrong with my numbers earlier, made an edit.

México could send 25% of his citizens.

When everything in the world is zero sum, there is no cooperation.

Such a sad way to view the world.

They will just blame Democrats

This assumes the people in the red States would see the chain of causation, which is unlikely.

It will create an enemy out of the taxing countries. I dont have a better idea but at this point his base will never turn from him.

I'm curious if they're gonna start pulling out of our stock market

Justin Trudeau tried to speak to the American people and did play heavy on the lasting friendship between the two countries. Will that dull the backlash against Canada? Trump wants an enemy out of Mexico, Canada, and China.

Trump wants an enemy out of Mexico, Canada, and China.

Which is hilarious because one of those things is not like the other

Trump's base is a lost cause, but the pain may get the soft Dem voters to get off their arses and turn out for the next election.

Nothing will shift Maga, so appealing to them is wasted.

Yeah during Trudeau's speech the only thing I was thinking when he was listing all of Canada's resources is, "are you trying to encourage a US invasion?!"

Good. Hit us with your best shot. We deserve it.

I just watched it for the first time last week...

I guess it was funnier in the 90s...

The number one predictor of electoral outcomes is people's feelings on the economy.

Please! We're in dire need of consequences.
