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

[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

[i_stole_ur_taco@lemmy.ca]

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.

What field are you in?

[werefreeatlast@lemmy.world]

A baseball field is the closest field.

[skulblaka@sh.itjust.works]

That's been the conservative MO for decades: create a huge, super fucked up problem that would never exist if they didn't force it into being, and then sell you the solution to it.

[mapleengineer@lemmy.world]

We didn't misunderstand. The convicted felon, serial sexual abuser, adjudicated rapist, serial business failure, pathological liar, lifelong con man isn't king of Canada. He can roll his executive order into a tight little roll and solve it way up his saggy orange ass. Fuck Trump and fuck everyone who was dumb enough, racist enough, or hateful enough to vote for him against their own self interest and the future interests of their children.

[paragone@lemmy.world]

To be HONEST, in this unlimitedly-dishonest-"world",

the whole reason that Trump's trying to break Canada's life, is to gain personal/national possession of the entire continent,

with all Canadians becoming illegals, & ALL the resource/wealth resolving to him.

It isn't a trade-war, it's economic, rather-than conventional/infantry, warfare, intended to BREAK Canada's existence.

IF Canada's so-called "leaders" ..

( sorry for the bitterness, but that bitterness is earned, at all levels of government, just as it also is earned against the so-called "charities" of our world whose primary mission is converting donated-funds to wallowing-wealth for the executives, or the business-people who simultaneously "can't afford" to have their employees have enough to live, yet somehow "need" to have obscene wallowing-wealth for themselves.. There isn't much integrity on this entire-world, is there?? )

.. have ANY brains in them, they'll immediately INVEST in as massive, & permanent, a trade-reconfiguration as possible,

to break dependency on the narcissist-machiavellian-sociopathy now ruling the world's agenda.

---

This was visible years-ago, btw..

Well-established hopium may well cost us our country, too, just as the Democrat-party's hopium cost them the US of A, entirely

( there isn't going to be any 2028-election: Civil War Part2 rather than tolerating to be extracted-from-dictatorship is now the US's fate.

All the Democrats who're pretending that they're going to win in 2028 are holding their heads "in the sand" as hard as they can.

Welcome to what the Abrahamic-religions call "the End Times". )

• sigh *

All this was preventable, had people's priorities been upright, instead of spineless/corrupt/indulging-oriented, as "profit" programmed our species into being-loyal-to..
