Donald Trump has said that Americans may feel economic “pain” from his tariffs on key trading partners.
“Will there be some pain? Yes, maybe (and maybe not!)” Trump wrote on Sunday in all capital letters on his Truth social media platform, a day after signing off on tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China.
“But we will Make America Great Again, and it will all be worth the price that must be paid,” he added.
How will it be worth the price?
What exactly is the problem that applying tariffs to Canadian goods will solve?
Oh right, nothing. Fucking orange moron.
it weakens solidarity between two powerful NATO allies
Putin:
First - Theoretically, his larger actions with tariffs could lead to lower federal taxes or get rid of them entirely. This essentially becomes a tax for being poor.
Second - Tariffs, when implemented properly, are supposed to strengthen American businesses. The problem is the US doesn’t really have the ability to compete with foreign manufacturing - especially now that we’re deporting our near-slave labor.
“illegal immigration and drugs” (I don’t get it either) https://www.forbes.com/sites/andyjsemotiuk/2025/01/31/tariff-on-canada-not-justified-by-us-immigration-and-drug-claims/ EDIT: Ah, of course. Because it was never about tariffs. It was Trump being a dick to get what he wants.
Similar was said in the U.K. about Brexit. Both situations are shite.
And both situations were caused by the same person. It’s time to guillotine Putin and take the world back.
Remember that Cambridge Analitica got their money from rich Americans.
Even though I’m sure he’s part of the problem, this exclusive blaming of Putin is just a (sadly, oft and mindlessly repeated) propaganda slogan that protects very wealthy people with far more blame in the matter.
If magically Putin was removed from the equation tomorrow, it would have pretty much zero impact on the trend to ever more Fascism, at least in the UK and US.
Stop acting as if this was not Trump and not the millions of people that voted for him. As if Putin is the sole bad. They are ALL responsible.
I never said he was the sole bad, but puppets don’t pull their own strings. Trump would continue to be a shit storm without Putin, but he would have no idea which way to blow himself.
