    In the meantime this kind of threat lost any value… Besides that everyone is hurrying up cutting dependence on US markets

    Dear Canada, Don’t worry. China got cheap choppers for you if you don’t like your own.

    Dear USA, Bwahahahahahahaha.

    Canada makes some of the best planes in the world, especially for private jets. This is a tax on strictly the ultra wealthy Americans, so I don’t think he will follow through.

    Who wants a TACO?

      Not just on the ultra rich, it could affect some airlines in the USA. The Airbus A220 is built in Québec, but they also build them in Alabama.

    Trump is a thin skinned loser who rapes children and on top of that, he’s a 1 trick pony.

    Tariffs.

    The rest of the world is moving on without America. Good riddance.

      Nah. He has other tricks. Sending in armed goons and cheating at golf are a couple of them.

      I suppose you could go to the root of all these for the real lone trick: being a self-serving piece of [redacted]

    Anything with the word tariff in it should be automatically filed under Stupid News.

    Why do humans keep appointing the dumbest evil people as their leaders?

      The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence.

      The majority of people will always follow a certain dumbass over a well-informed, but unsure, rival.

      Because half of adults read at a 6th grade reading level (at best), so recognizing bias and context is just beyond them. And rich people have spent decades building a media ecosystem that takes advantage of this

      He’s a mafia guy and it has worked a shit ton in his past to threaten and then do stupid things that hurts everyone. I understand why he used it at first, a lot of countries bent the knee, but why he keeps using it is the stupid part. The stupid people even now know that it only hurts American consumers and fucks up the economy.

    Why not 5000% at this point? We all know you’re not gonna stick to your word and change your mind tomorrow morning to whatever crazy idea sparks in your senile brain. So why stop at 50%? Get mad! Sky’s the limit when you don’t give a shit!

    Are these tarrifs actually effective? Seems like it’s kinda flavor of the week kind of threat. Like we could cut exports or do sanctions
